TECHNOLOGY IN
DELIVERING THE
CURRICULUM
Prepared by: Allen Jae A. Pascua
BSEd 1-A
DEFINITION OF TERMS: CURRICULUM

•It comes from the Latin word

Currere which means to run or
cause of the race. It is a set of
courses constituting an area of
specialization
DEFINITION OF TERMS: TECHNOLOGY
• It comes from two Greek words, transliterated techne
and logos. Techne means art, skill, craft or the way,
manner, or means by which a thing is gained. Logos
means word, the utterance by which inward thought
is expressed, a saying, or an expression.
• It is the collection of techniques, skills, methods and
processes used in the production of goods or services or
in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scienctific
investigation.
ROLES OF TECHNOLOGY
• Technology plays a role in all aspects of our lives such as
education, transportation, communication and so on.
• Technology is central to many sectors of society and its
integration into the education process has great promise for
student learning. With technology, one can expect increased
efficiency and effectiveness on both the part of teachers and
students.
• Technology offers various tools of learning (projected or non-
projected) depending on what the teacher sees fit with the
intended instructional setting. Teacher decides on what media
technology to use to help achieve the set learning objectives.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING
CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY

1.Student Achievement Goals

2.Budget Consideration
3.Equitable Access
4.Classroom Conditions
FACTOR#1: STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
GOAL
• Your school improvement plan is fundamental to the
selection of classroom technology. There are some
great solutions for improving performance and
achieving outcomes. For example, graphing calculators
and probeware can visually enrich lessons and provide
immediate feedback in math and science courses, and
teachers of reading can use document cameras,
interactive whiteboards, software and websites for
improving literacy skills.
FACTOR#2: BUDGET CONSIDERATION
• Consider your funding sources and their
availability. A one-time allocation of funds
requires the selection of technology with a long
lifespan. But technology can be replaced more
often if funds are available on a recurring basis.
Don’t forget to budget for professional
development, technology support, infrastructure,
retrofitting classrooms and installations.
FACTOR#3: EQUITABLE ACCESS
• Allstudents, staff and leaders must have “robust
and reliable access to current and emerging
technologies and digital resources.” Universal
access can be achieved with an infrastructure that
brings connectivity to all learning spaces, or by
equipping all learning spaces with document
cameras and projectors.
FACTOR#4: CLASSROOM CONDITIONS
• Consider the technology capacity of your
classrooms. For a 1-to-4 computer-student ratio
or a notebook initiative, make sure there is
enough real estate and electrical capacity in the
classroom. Also, check the location of electrical
outlets; if computers are crowded along a single
wall, students won’t have room to work in small
groups.
