Are students of today interested to use technology in order to learn? Do teachers have
the skills to use technology to enhance their teaching? With the 4 th Industrial Revolution,
nobody can deny the influence of technology in our live. As future teachers of the 21 st
century, it is high time that you prepare yourselves to integrate technology in your
This lesson will teach you on the roles of technology in education. It also helps you
understand the importance of technology nowadays.
As teaching and learning go together, let us explore what would be the roles of
technology for teachers and teaching and for learners and learning. According to Stosic
(2015), educational technology has three domains:
1. Technology as a tutor. Together with the teacher, technology can support the teacher to
teach another person or technology when programmed by the teacher can be a tutor on its
own. The teacher will simply switch on or switch off radio programs, television programs of
play DVDs or CDs that contain educational programs. These are on-line 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. It will be good if the
teacher can also create or develop technology tools that are needed in the classroom.
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. Even the teachers who are teaching can utilize similar tools for learning. As a
learning tool, it is very interesting that even the elderly use these tools for learning for life.
There are numerous roles that technology plays in the job of teachers. As a tool,
technology has opened wider avenues in management of resources and management of
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. All
learning styles can find support from technology, so that teaching will be more effective and
efficient.
4. Technology opens new fields in educational researches. The areas of teaching testing
and evaluation are enhanced by technologies for teaching and learning. 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. Reference retrieval is also hastened because many of the research materials are in
digital form.
1. Support learners to learn how to learn on their own. All teachers fully understand that
subject matter or content is a means to achieve the learning outcomes.
Direction: Write a paragraph about your personal experience on how technology has
influenced your life as a learner from elementary, high school and college.
Direction: Write a paragraph on how you are going to use technology as a teacher?
Look for articles in the World Wide Web that tells about the roles of technology in
teaching and learning. Paste the article inside the box, and highlights the text that emphasize
the role of technology in teaching and learning.
Direction: Choose the correct answer from the options given. Encircle the letter of your
choice.

This module discusses on the ICT policies to teaching and learning. It also aims to
discuss some issues and concerns that relate to ICT policy. So, don’t miss this rare
opportunity – read and have fun in learning the following lessons:
Lesson 1- Policies and Issues on Internet & Implications to Teaching & Learning
Lesson 2- Safety Issues on the Use of ICT including e-Safety Rules
New technologies have become central to the lives of every individual in this planet.
Whether you are talking on the phone, sending an electronic mail, going to the bank,
using the library, watching news on television, going to the doctor, catching a flight, or
Would your life as a teacher be also influenced by the new technologies? Should we
leave our lives to be controlled by technology or should we control the utilization of
technology in our lives? How?
This lesson will tell you on the different ICT policies on internet and its implications
to teaching and learning. It further discusses on some issues related to the ICT policy.
name examples of ICT Policies which are applicable to teaching and learning
discuss some issues that relate to the ICT policy.
One way of enhancing and regulating the use of ICT is to formulate and implement
policies to guide appropriate decisions.
The Oxford English Dictionary has defined “policy” as a course of action, adopted
and pursued by a government, party, ruler, and statesman. It is any course of action adopted
as expedient or advantageous. Its operational definition of policy is a plan of action to guide
decisions and achieve outcomes.
1. Information Technology- includes the use of computers, which has become indispensable
in modern societies to process data and save time and effort. What are needed will be
computer hardware and peripherals, software and for the user, computer literacy.
3. Networking technologies- the best known of networking technologies is Internet, but has
extended to mobile phone technology, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) satellite
communications and other forms of communications are still in their infancy. In addition to
Internet, this category also includes mobile telephones, cable, DSL, satellite and other
broadband connectivity.
1. ICT in Education Masterplan for all levels, including a National Roadmap for Faculty
Development in ICT in Education. A National Framework Plan for ICTs in Basic Education
was developed.
2. Content and application development through the Open Content in Education Initiative
(OCEI) which converts DepEd materials into interactive multi-media content, develop
applications used in schools, and conduct students and teachers competitions to promote the
development of education-related web content.
3. PheDNET, is a “walled” garden that hosts educational learning and teaching materials and
applications for use by Filipino students, their parents and teachers. All public high schools
will be part of this network with only DepEd-approved multi-media applications, materials
and mirrored internet sites accessible from school’s PCs.
4. Established Community eLearning Centers called eSkwela for out-of-school youth (OSY)
providing them with ICT-enhanced alternative education opportunities.
5. eQuality Program for tertiary education through partnerships with state universities and
colleges (SUCs) to improve quality of IT education and the use of ICT in education in the
country, particularly outside of Metro Manila.
6. Digital Media Arts Program which builds digital media skills for government using Open
Source technologies. Particular beneficiary agencies include the Philippine Information
Agency and the other government media organizations, the Cultural Center of the
Philippines, National Commission for Culture and Arts and other government art agencies,
State Universities.
7. ICT skills strategic plan which develops an inter-agency approach to identifying strategic
and policy and program recommendations to address ICT Skills demand-supply type.
Global Issues
Access and Civil Liberties are two sets of issues in ICT Policy which are crucial to
the modern society. The other concern is civil liberties which refer to human rights and
Access to the Use of Internet and ICT. Access means the possibility for everyone to
use the internet and other media. In richer countries, basic access to internet is almost
available to all with faster broadband connections. There are still countries where access to
internet is still a challenge.
Infringement to Civil Liberties or Human Rights. What are specific internet issues on
internet policy that have relationship to civil liberties or human rights? Let’s study the
examples that follow.
Under international human rights conventions, all people are guaranteed the rights for
free expression. However, with the shift from communicating through letter, newspaper and
public meetings to electronic communications and on-line networking, a need to look into
how these new means modifies the understanding of opinion and expression and censorship.
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Right provides that’s everyone has the right
to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, likewise the right to freedom of opinion.
However there are practices that violate these provisions in the use of internet.
Warning!!!
“When you are surfing the web, you may think you are anonymous, but there are
various ways that information about you or your activities can be collected without your
consent.”
Educational Resources and Technology 21
3. Defamation actions may be used to silence critics. This action deters the
freedom of expression.
Privacy policies are an issue. Most commercial sites have a privacy policy. When
someone uses a site and clicks “I agree” button, it is as if you have turned over private
information to any authority that may access it.
1. For most, privacy means, “personal privacy” the right of individuals not to have
their home, private life or personal life interfered with.
There is very little that can be done to prevent surveillance. What can be done is to
change the methods of working to make surveillance difficult. This is called “counter
surveillance” or “information security” if it refers to computers and electronic
communication.
If not controlled then, e-waste will tremendously affect climate change, damage
human lives, and overload the capacity of the earth in carrying solid waste.
How do the policy guidelines, projects and issues relate to the teaching and
learning?
There are great implications of this lesson to both the teachers who are teaching
and the learners who are learning. A few of these are as follow:
1. Guide the teachers on what they should teach that relate to ICT, and how to teach it.
Since ICT development comes so rapid and fast, teachers might to overwhelmed by its rapid
speed. Temperance in its use is a caution that should be looks at.
2. Technology should never replace any human teacher. The tools are support
instructional materials for the teachers which are available for use. The teacher should learn
how to appropriately use them. The human touch of the teacher is still a vital component in
teaching. Teachers should always be reminded that there always limitations in the use of the
different gadget and tools.
3. There are rules and regulations that govern the use of technology. Caution should be
observed to protect individual privacy. As teachers, you must be aware that use of technology
may jeopardize your privacy and security.
The learners of the 21 st Century are given more advanced than some of the teachers.
However, learners still need guidance on how to use, regulate technology use. As there are
positive and negative effects of technology use, learners should know the difference. Learners
should not only know the benefits of technology use, but they should also know how they can
be protected from the hazards that technology brings to their lives.
Learners should take advantage of the potential of leaning support they can derive such
as the development of higher order thinking skills, the development of learning communities
through collaboration , the enhancement of skills to manage the vast resources as 21 st century
learners and many more.
Both the teachers and learners should be mindful of the e-waste that are being thrown
away to the land and to the atmosphere. Thus, safety in the use of technology shall be
presented in the next lesson.

Using technology is not a risk by itself, but how it is used will be vulnerable by risks.
This lesson will tell you on the safety issues on the use of ICT. It further explains
some e-safety rules which are needed as future teachers.
e-Safety
With all of the above concerns and many more, how do we confront all of these so as
to protect our future generation?
E-safety refers to staying safe online, and as internet-accessible devices are given to
people of younger ages, it's important that they are protected from harmful content and
services, such as cyber bullying, exploitation and pornography
e-Safety takes care not only of internet technologies but also of electronic
communications via mobile phones, games consoles and wireless technology. It highlights
the need to educate children and young people about the benefits, risks and responsibilities of
using information technology. Here are some issues of e-safety:
e-safety helps safeguard children and young people in the digital world;
e-safety emphasizes learning to understand and new technologies in a positive way;
e-safety educates children about the risks as well as the benefits so we can feel
confident online; and
e-safety supports young learners and adults to develop safer online behaviors, both in
and out of school
Network Management
2. Password Policy
2.1 Only authorized users will have individual passwords. Users are not
permitted to disclose their passwords unless they got permission from
the owner or from the management. The equipment that keeps the
personal information shall be locked when unattended to prevent
unauthorized access. Computers should be set to a time out if they
become unused for a certain period of time.
3.1 All mobile phones shall be kept away in a box away from the children
or learners and access is only is only allowed at breaktime or at the end
of classes or when needed during the class period.
4. Cameras
4.1 Taking pictures only from parents or caregivers and not from any other
family member or friend while the child attends class.
4.2 Any pictures taken of children shall be on cameras solely for the
purpose.
Setting Up an Educational Technology Room
Schools that plan to dedicate a room where the students can access
technologies for learning should include the following basic safety rules:
1. Provide tiltable tables. These tables can be tilted and adjusted to the height
of users.
2. Provide anti-glare screen filters.
3. Provide adjustable chairs.
4. Provide foot support.
5. Make sure lighting is suitable.
6. Make sure work stations are not cramped.
7. Plan work at a computer so that there are frequent breaks.
More specifically safely rules that can reduce risk of accidents in the working
stations should include:
1. No trailing wires across or around the room which people can trip on.
2. Electrical sockets should not be overloaded.
3. Electrical equipment should be safety-tested at least once a year.
4. There should be adequate space around desk for people to move.
5. Bags and obstacles should be stored out of the way.
There are more issues, policies and rules. What have been presented in the
lesson may be the minimum that you should learn. As you explore some more and
engage in different aspects of Technology for Teaching and Learning, you will find
more details.
