    Technology plays three roles in education: as a tutor, teaching tool, and learning tool. As a tutor, it provides educational programs and online tutorials. As a teaching tool, it facilitates and supports the teacher's work. As a learning tool, it makes learning easy and effective. For teachers, technology provides enormous support, transforms passive classrooms into active ones, modernizes the environment, improves teaching methods, opens new research fields, adds to teacher competence, and supports professional development. For learners, it helps them learn independently, enhances communication skills, and develops higher-order thinking like critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

    Roles of Technology for

    Teaching and Learning


    The 3 Domains of Educational Technology
    According to Stosic (2015)

    1. Technology as a Tutor
    The teacher will simply switched on or switched off the radio
    pragrams, television programs or play DVDs, or CDs that contain educational
    programs. There are online tutorial educational programs too.

    2. Technology as a teaching tool


    like a tutor, technology is a teaching tool, but can never replace a
    teacher. This is like the handyman, which is just there to be reached. Like
    any other tool, it is being used to facilitate and lighten the work of the
    teacher.
    3. Technology as a Learning Tool

    while the teacher utilizes technology as the tool for teaching, likewise it
    is an effective tool for learning. As a learning tool, it makes learning easy
    and effective. It can produce learning outcomes that call for technology-
    assisted teaching.
    A. For teachers and Teaching
    here are some examples of the myriad of roles that technology can do
    for teachers and teaching.

    1. Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as the facilitator of


    learning.
    it transforms a passive classroom to an active and interactive one,
    with audio-visual aids, charts and models, smart classrooms, e-learning
    classrooms which motivates and increase attention level of learners.

    2. Technology has modernized the teaching-learning environment


    the teachers are assisted and supplemented with appropriately
    structured instructional materials for daily activities.
    3. Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching

    This will make the act of teaching more efficient and effective. There
    are arrays of teaching methods and strategies that can use technology which are
    found compatible with learning styles.

    4. Technology opens new fields in educational researches.


    Current educational researches will no longer find difficulty in
    interpreting tests, assessment and other evaluation results. There are available
    programs that can analyze and interpret results with speed and accuracy.
    5. Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcate scientific
    outlook.
    through the utilization of theories of learning and
    intelligence which are explained in references uploaded in the net, the
    teachers are encourage to imbibe skills to source these information with
    speed and accuracy.

    6. Technology supports teacher professional development.


    with the demand of continuing professional development for
    teachers, the availability of technology provides alternative way of attending
    professional development online.
    B. For Learners and Learning

    1. Support learners to learn how to learn on their own

    There are three categories of knowledge according to Egbert (2009)

    A. Declarative knowledge
    consist of discrete pieces of information that answers the
    question what , who, when and where. It is often learned through
    memorization of facts, drills and practice.

    B. Structural knowledge
    consist of facts or pieces of declarative knowledge put together
    to attain some form of meaning. An example of declarative knowledge is
    “pencil”. The idea that evolved from a pencil is an understanding that “it
    is something used to write.
    C. Procedural knowledge

    it is knowledge in action or the knowledge of how to do something.


    It is based on facts but learned through the process of procedural
    knowledge. Examples are includes how to drive a car, how to use cellphone
    or how to speak English.
    2. Teachers enhances learners communication skills through social interactions
    social interactions has three modalities which communication occurs and
    technology is involved.

    Through technology- directly between two persons via e-mail, cellphone or other
    communication technology.

    Around technology – like students discussing about a problem posed by a software


    program

    With support of technology – like teachers and students interacting about the
    worksheet printed from a website.
    Benefits derived from technology-supported communication.

    a. Enables any teacher to guide the learners virtually and making learning
    unlimited because communication and social interaction go beyond a school
    day or a school environment.

    b. Enhances freedom to express and exchange ideas freely with out the snooping
    eyes of the teacher face to face.

    c. Enable learners to construct meaning from joint experiences between the two
    or more participants in communication.
    d. Help learners solve problems from multiple sources since there are
    limitless sources of information that the teacher can direct or refer to
    the learners.

    e. Teaches learners to communicate with politeness, taking turns in


    sending information and giving appropriate feedback.
    f. Enhances collaboration by using communication
    strategies with wider community and individuals in a
    borderless learning environment.

    g. Develop critical thinking, problem solving and creativity


    throughout the communication
    3. Technology upgrade learners’ higher order thinking skills; critical thinking,
    problem solving and creativity.

    Critical thinking
    it refers to the ability to interpret, explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and
    self regulate in order to make good decisions. With the use of technology one will
    be able to evaluate the credibility of the source, asl appropriate questions,
    become open minded, defend a position on an issue and draw conclusion with
    caution.

    As a role model, teachers should display and practice critical thinking process so
    that the learners can imitate them. Here are some ways that teachers can do to
    develop critical thinking.
    a. Ask the right question

    Critical thinking question should ask for clarity, accuracy, precision,


    relevance, depth, breadth and logic.

    Clarity: Here are some example: Can you give examples of


    Accuracy: What pieces of examples supports your claim?
    Precision: Exactly how much …
    Breadth: What do you think will the other group say about the issue?
    B. Use critical thinking tools with appropriate level of challenge.
    Teachers should be mindful of the readiness of the students.
    Students who have higher ability may find the task to easy, thus getting bored
    early, while those who have low ability may find the task too difficult.

    Here are some simple ways that teachers should do.


    1. Vary the questions asked.
    2. Introduce new technologies.
    3. Modify the learners groupings.
    4. Modify the critical thinking task.
    5. Encourage curiosity.
    Creativity
    is characterized as involving the ability to think flexibly, fluently, originally,
    and elaborately (Gilford,1986 end Torrance, 1974 in Egbert, 2009).

    Flexibly means able to use many points of view while fluently means able to
    generate many ideas. Originally implies being able to generate new ideas and
    elaborately means able to add details.
    7 Creative Strategies (Osborn 1963).
    This have been simplified into fewer categories. To be creative, one can use
    any of this strategies.

    1. Substitute- find something else to replace to do what is does.


    2. Combine- blend two things that do not usually go together.
    3. Adapt- look for other ways this can be used.
    4. Modify/magnify/minify- make a change, enlarge, decrease.
    5. Put to another use- Find other uses.
    6. Eliminate- Reduce, remove.
    7. Reverse- Turn upside down, inside out, front-side back.

    All together, the strategies will be labelled as SCAMPER.
