HOW TEACHERS AND STUDENTS USE COMPUTERS


The following chart depicts typical differences between how teachers use technology and
how students use technology for school-related tasks. You will note that three of the teacher
tasks are supportive of the instructional process, while one reflects direct use of technology
for instructional purposes. The student tasks, on the other hand, are all directly related to
classroom activities. The differences in student tasks are in the degree to which students
utilize “real-world” software applications (Resource and Learning Tools) vs. pre-programmed
educational software (Teaching/Testing Tools).

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 2
Involved a deeper understanding of the computer as well as hands-on application of
computer skills.

What are computer skills?


Computer skills fit into two categories: hardware and software.

Hardware skills allow you to physically operate a computer. Hardware skills can be as
simple as knowing how to turn devices on and off. They might also involve more
complex tasks like connecting machines to networks, changing parts, or fixing broken
devices. For these complex tasks, many employers hire trained technicians with
advanced computer skills.

Software skills help you to efficiently use computer programs and applications. There
are some software skills that employers may consider as prerequisites to employment.
Employers may not include some software skills on job posts under the assumption
they are universally understood. For example, many employers may believe all
applicants have a basic knowledge of word processing programs, like Microsoft Word.

SOME COMMON COMPUTER SKILLS INCLUDE :

 Analytics
 Social media
 Graphic design
 Microsoft Office
 Spreadsheets
 Email communication
 Marketing automation
 Data visualization

Certain software skills are more commonly desired in different fields. If you’re a
computer programmer, you may be required to know various coding languages like
Python, C++, Java, or HTML, among others. Those who are applying for positions in
administrative assistance will likely need be experienced with Microsoft Office Suite,
Google apps and accounting software. To find out which skills employers in your
industry might expect, spend some time researching the most common software skills
for your career. Carefully read job descriptions and take note of the requirements listed
there.

 Aims to infuse technology in the student teachers training, helping them to


adapt and meet rapid and continuing technological changes, particularly in the
global ICT environment.

 Used information technology to improve not only instruction but the school
management programmed curriculum.
