Introduction
The conventional way of teaching in this century may outmode the preference of
present learners. The teacher providing the information while taking the center stage may
not hold students attention for a longer time. This still works, however , but with the
appropriate use of the right technology tool or application, a lesson becomes engaging.
The roles that learners play in this millennium are no longer limited to being a receiver
of information. They desire to be actively involved in the retrieval of information,
repackaging them to create something unconceivable before.

The learning place can also evolve especially when you consider the varied roles that
learners play. They can learn and perform the task in any physical or virtual location. There
is also the element of flexibility since learners can tackle assigned tasks at preferred times
or manner of doing them. However, certain agreed rules have to be established to provide
the right amount of guidance without curtailing their ingenuity.
Learners can become…

Contributors – Learners can upload materials such as a video or an audio, post a
message, submit an output in a drop box or add documents and eBooks and add a picture
or contribute to a digital world using a ‘popup.’
Creators - Students can collate a digital portfolio or commonly known as an portfolio or
create a virtual poster or an interactive resource. They can produce a digital story, edit the
entries and share.
Communicators – Using technology tools, students can chat with peers, post a reply in
a blog and contribute a comment to the let thread flow. Creating a wiki, editing and adding
to it gives the students the chance to communicate their thoughts. Using the chat room or
the web conferencing by Skype creates a new dynamic to what a learning place is.
Collaborators – Capstone projects can be outputs of collaboration. Students can
participate in posting ideas in a Forum where there can be an asynchronous discussion.
Using wikis to participate in-group work with the aim to accomplish a task or comment on
blogs are a few ways on performing the role of a collaborator in a new idea of a learning
place.
The are many great ideas on how to integrate a technological tool or an application
in teaching the lesson. Identifying the possible role that students need to be can guide them
to choose the appropriate way of using the right tool. The bottom line is for you to integrate
technology because learners become engaged and they learn better hence, a well-
integrated phase of technology is critical.
One common tool is a mobile device, It is a computing gadget such as a smartphone
or a tablet computer that can be handheld and carried along by the user. If these tools is
available, a creative teacher can strategize the meaningful use of mobile as a way of
engaging the learner.
Tools must be used as fundamental components of a class as long as they are appropriate
and strategically integrated to facilitate learning for the integration of technology in a lesson
is an informed judgement of qualified and innovative teacher.

and where you can write and post your ideas. These are updated on a regular basis which
can inspire or educate those who read it. It is an online journal that allows you to share with
the world what you think or feel.
