LEARNING OUTCOMES
By doing the learning activities in this topic, hopefully the teacher
will be able to:
i.Describe the roles and implications of using ICT in teaching and
learning
ii. Select and apply appropriate computer applications with the
teaching and learning process to be executed

iii.Apply a variety of computer applications in teaching and

learning
iv.Produce appropriate teaching and learning media in line with
the learning standards
v.Integrate information and communication technology skills in
teaching and learning.
THE INTEGRATION OF ICT IN TEACHING AND
LEARNING

 Traditional educational practices no longer

provide students with all the knowledge and
skills necessary to enable them to compete in
the current job scenario
 the present learning environment should
involve a variety of strategies, media,
software and ICT-related tools that will
prepare students for their future.
Production and use of ICT-based instructional and learning
media

 standard for the integration of technology in teaching

and learning.
 demands teachers to understand all aspects of
instructional planning, learning theory, instructional
design, and master the skills of various computer
applications to produce media that can support
teaching and learning.
 aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of
the teaching and learning process. Hence the
teacher should be able to use it in a thoughtful, well-
planned and appropriate manner
 The learning environment should improve for the
better when technology is used in teaching and
learning
Traditional Learning Environment New Era Learning Environment

 Stop To Think &
Discuss

 Lets Discuss the development of

technology you have used in the
classroom.

 How to integrate ICT in teaching and

learning?
Teacher’s Role in the Integration of ICT in Teaching
and Learning

 does not require a teacher to master high

levels of ICT skills
 how teachers can create and use materials
and teaching and learning media suitable for
students' learning
 should not be teaching how to use the
technology
 as a vehicle to help facilitate delivery and
facilitate students to understand knowledge
and develop their skills
Teacher’s Role in the Integration of ICT in Teaching
and Learning

 way to enrich the learning environment

 “ICT is more than a teaching tool. Its
potential for improving the quality and
standards of students’ educationis significant.
Equally, its’ potential is considerable for
supporting teachers, both in their everyday
classroom role, for example by reducing the
time occupied by administration associated
with it, and in their continuing training and
development.”(DfEE 1998)
Use of ICT in teaching and learning

 i. Engaging students
 ii. Motivate students
 iii. Support new approaches to teaching and learning,
such as cooperative learning, higher order thinking,
problem-solving-based learning and project-based
learning.
 iv. Engage students through the production of works
 v. Increasing students control ove their own learning
 vi. Help teachers connect students to learning
resources
 vii. Help teachers keep track of students' learning
progress
 viii. Prepare students for the ever-changing world
The Effects of Using ICT in Teaching and Learning

 i. can explore and communicate dynamically in

various forms
 ii. higher self-confidence and social skills
 iii. can communicate effectively about complex
matters
 iv. have the skills and autonomy of self access
 v. discover their abilities and can share with
others
 vi. can work collaboratively, and
 vii. better prepared for the future.

Standard Features of Students in
the Aspect of ICT Use

 the quality of students, who have critical and

creative thinking, and skilled in problem
solving, a lot depends on the role of teachers.
An effective learning environment is a
combination of traditional approaches with
new approaches to guide the students to
master the subject content, while taking into
account individual needs
(International Society for
Technology in Education 1998):
 . communicate using various forms of media
 ii. access and exchange information in a variety of ways
 iii. collect, analyze, organize and synthesize information
 iv. make conclusions based on the information collected
 v. using the information and use the appropriate tools
to solve problems
 vi. know the subject matter and able to reach necessary
information when required
 vii. become self-directed student
 viii. collaborate with others and work effectively as a
team
 ix. interact with others appropriately and in an ethical
manner
ICT Mode to be Used in Teaching
and Learning

 i. Tutorial Mode
 Disclosure of content
 ii. Demonstration of a phenomenon - using a control system
 iii. Training or drills that can be accessed - using control system

 ii. Exploration Mode

 exploration mode, ICT is used as a medium to:
 i. find and access information through resources such as CD ROMs and
internet information portals
 ii. learn and study the demonstration of a phenomenon under the student’s
own control
 iii. experience, learn and study a phenomenon through simulations
controlled by the system
 iii. Application Mode, and
 Examples of technologies that can be used in the exploration mode include:
 • word processor to produce essays
 • spreadsheet to display chart
 • graphics editor, sound editor, movie editor, electronic presentation
software,
 and web editor to deliver a presentation
 • computer-aided design software to create the design of materials.

 iv. Communication Mode

 Examples of technologies that can be used in the communication mode include:
 • Chat
 • Email
 • Audio conference
 • Video conference
 • Building a website for access over the Internet
WORD PROCESSING
 use of computer applications to build,
manipulate, save, edit and print a text
document
 can support many of the tasks associated
with teaching and learning processes that
were once made by typewriter or by hand
common features of word
processors are:
 Insert text - lets you insert text in a
document.

 Delete text - allows you to delete the words,
text, line and paragraph easily.

 Cut and paste - allows you remove words or
paragraphs from one place and move them to
another place.
Copy - allows you to copy word, text or
paragraph if needed.
Save – allows a document to be saved and
edited again.
Font - you can change the font type of your
text
Page size and margins – allow you to set the
page size, so that the document will be
adjusted automatically.

Find and replace - lets you direct the word
processor to search for a word or a phrase and
you can also replace the word or sentence with
other words in your text.
Word wrap - word processing application will
automatically move words to the next line after
the line has reached the page margin.
Print - lets the printer print your document.
Font Specifications - allows you to change the
font features such as italic, bold, size, color and
shadow.

Graphics - allows you to insert shapes, images and
charts in your document.

Spell check - a facility to check the correct spelling of

a word.

Thesaurus - allows you to find the synonyms of words

in your document.

Headers, footers and pagination – allow you to edit

the top (header) or bottom (footer) of your document
sheet.

Table - lets you insert tables in your document to

support the compilation of your data in the form of
rows and columns
 What are the features of a word processing
application normally use that causes you to
continously use the application?
Task 2 (Work in pair of two)
 By using a word processing application of your choice,
prepare a handout suitable for attracting students to
learn a learning standard for a subject that you teach.
Provide appropriate worksheets to assess student
achievement.
 Your work should take into consideration the following
points:
 i. The learning content corresponds to an appropriate
learning standard
 ii. Theme to be used: Sustainable environment
 iii. product should use a variety of fonts and graphics,
neat and attractive, and presented using variable
layouts
