With the lighting speed by which the technology is evolving and now with
4.0. Technology continues to be an ever significant part of the learning environment. This
episode provides an opportunity for the student to examine a learning Resources Center or Multi-
Media Center and learn about its collection, services, equipment observe how a teacher utilizes
technology for instruction, and explore resources in the vital learning environment. Students will
analyse and reflect on how technology, including artificial intelligence, supports, the learning
teaching process.
UNESCO ICT Company Framework for Teacher Version 3 (ICT CFT v3, 2008)
The Information and Communication Technology Competency Framework for Teacher (ICT
CFT) version 3 is comprehensive framework guide teachers’ development on the effective and
appropriate use of ICT in education. It highlights what teachers should know and do clustered
in six aspects, namely: 1. Understanding ICT in Education 2. Curriculum and Assessment, 3.
Pedagogy, 4. Application on Digital Skills, 5. Organization and administration, and 6. Teacher
Professional Learning.
Similar to PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which guide teacher as
they develop their ICT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to Level 2 Knowledge
Deepening, and level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Commission Higher Education Teacher
Education Curricula (2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so most likely you have tackled
this in your Technology for Teaching and Learning classes.
It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work in this episode. The
activities here are meant from you to observe, analyze and reflect about the competencies
discussed in the framework (Access it at:

%20Competency %Framework%20V3.pdf)
Technology Integration
The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensives framework for you to define
and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and guide you in the process
of achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher’s integration of technology in
instruction can described as progressing in 5 levels: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion and
finally transformation.
The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and enables
quality technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the learning environment
are being active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-directed.
The Technology Integration Matrix connects the Level of Technology Integration and the
Characteristics of the Learning Environment. Examine the matrix below. To make you
understand how integration is done in each of the levels and environment, explore the TIM
website and learn from the many interesting videos showing technology integration. Go to

Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOC’s) are online courses open to a big group of
people. Below are the basic information bout MOOCS. Let us focus on each word:
Massive
MOOCS are on-line courses designed for large number of participants, usually larger
than the number of students that can fit a regular classroom. There can be hundreds
or even be a thousand students or more.
Open
Online
Course
Educational content. May include video, audio, text, games, simulations, social
media and animations
Facilitation interaction among peers. Builds a learning community through
opportunities to interact
Some interaction with the teacher or academic staff
Activities/tasks, tests, including feedback. Participants are provided with some
feedback mechanism. Can be automatically generated like quizzes, feedback from
peers or the teacher.
Some kind of (non-formal) recognition options. It includes some kind of recognition
like badges or certificate of completion. A formal certificate is optional and most
likely has to be paid for.
A study guide/syllabus. This includes instructions as to how you may learn from the
materials and interactions presented.

Task 11.2: Observing Technology Integration in the Classroom
To realize your Intended Learning Outcomes, you must observe a class for three meetings if
possible. Describe how technology was integrated in the lessons and how the students were
involved. Use the technology /integration Matrix to analyze the technology integration done by
the teacher. Reflect on what I have learned.
As you observe the class, use the observation sheets provided for you to document your
observation.
1. What is the lesson about?
2. What visual aids/materials/ learning resources is the teacher using?
3. Observe and take note on how the teacher parents/use of learning resources.
4. Clearly observe the learner’s response to the teachers of learning resources. Listen to their
verbal responses. What do their responses indicate? Do their responses show attentiveness,
eagerness, and understanding?
5. Focus on their non-verbal responses. Are they showing their interest in the lesson and in the
materials? Are they looking towards the direction of the teacher and the materials? Do their
actions show attentiveness, eagerness and understanding?
OBSERVATION SHEET NO.
