¡In
order to use technology effectively, educators need to be trained in using
technology and they need to develop a good understanding of it. Technology is
used to enhance learning, therefore it is important for educators to be
comfortable using it to ensure that students get the full advantages of
educational technology. Teaching with technology is different from
teaching in a typical classroom. Teachers must be trained in how to plan,
create, and deliver instruction within a technological setting. It requires a
different pedagogical approach. Teachers must find a way to assess students on
what they take away from a class and meaningful, known knowledge, especially
within an e Learning setting. Education
will only change when our design methods, perspectives, and values change.
Teachers have many roles when instruction is designed. They can be artists,
architects, craftspeople, and engineers. Technology does not mean that using
interactive electronic boards and LCD PowerPoint presentation is the most
effective. So many more applications are available for students to be hands-on
with their learning and gain deeper knowledge than they could before.
¡Technology
training appears to focus mainly on technology knowledge and skills while
overlooking the relationships between technology, pedagogy, and
content. As a result, teachers learn about “cool” stuff, but they still
have difficulty applying it for their students’ learning. Teacher candidates
need opportunities to practice effective technology integration strategies in
supportive contexts during technology courses, technology-integrated methods
courses, and field experiences. Experienced teachers also need opportunities to
learn about new technologies and ways to integrate them effectively in their
classroom. Teacher education programs can facilitate improvements not only in
students’ technology skills but also in their beliefs and intentions regarding
integrating technology into instruction. Technology training directly affects
pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy and value beliefs, which in turn influence
their student-centered technology use
¡The future of the ICT sector is exciting. These are uncharted waters open to creativity, innovation and entirely new ways of working, interacting and learning that should appeal to women and men alike. The Institute for the Future identifies six drivers most likely to shape the future workforce: longer life spans; a rise in smart devices and systems; advances in computational systems such as sensors and processing power; new multimedia technology; the continuing evolution of social media; and a globally connected world. The ICT sector clearly underpins this future.
¡We are living in a constantly evolving digital world.
ICT has an impact on nearly every aspect of our lives - from working to
socializing, learning to playing. The digital age has transformed the way young
people communicate, network, seek help, access information and learn. We must
recognize that young people are now an online population and access is through
a variety of means such as computers, TV and mobile phones.
¡As technology becomes more and more embedded in our
culture, we must provide our learners with relevant and contemporary
experiences that allow them to successfully engage with technology and prepare
them for life after school.
¡It is widely recognized that learners are motivated and
purposefully engaged in the learning process when concepts and skills are
underpinned with technology and sound pedagogy. Learning and Teaching Scotland
aims to provide resources for practitioners, parents and pupils to engage with
these technologies in order to inform and enhance the learning experience.
