 1. Teacher and
Student-Centered
Strategies
1. Teacher and Student Strategies
The explosion of
information in the 21st
century demands teachers
to create engaging learning
environments that foster
real-world experiences,
enhancing students'
knowledge and skills.
1. Teacher and Student Strategies
Computers in educational
technology have
revolutionized teaching,
shifting the role of teachers
away from being the sole
source of information in
educational settings.
1. Teacher and Student Strategies
Computers have become one
of the key instructional
technologies in education.
1.1. Using Computers
in the Classroom
(Terms and
Definitions)
1.1. Using Computers in the Classroom
(Terms and Definitions)
1. Computer – an
electronic device that can
execute instructions or
commands to accept data
(input) and process them
to produce and store
useful information (output).
1.1. Using Computers in the Classroom
(Terms and Definitions)
2. Computer literacy –
can be explained as the
ability to use computers
and technology efficiently.
1.1. Using Computers in the Classroom
(Terms and Definitions)
3. Computer-based
Instruction – refers to using
computers as a central part
of the educational
experience.
Teachers use educational websites and
software to enhance daily classroom
curriculum.
1.1. Using Computers in the Classroom
(Terms and Definitions)
4. Computer System – a
collective reference to all
interconnected computing
hardware, including processors,
storage devices, input and
output devices, and
communications equipment.

 2. Computer-Aided
Instructions (Types)
2. Computer-Aided Instructions (Types)
1. Drill and Practice –
exercises designed to
increase fluency in a new
skill or body of knowledge
or to refresh an existing
skill or body of knowledge
Example: Using TypingClub
2. Computer-Aided Instructions (Types)
2. Tutorial – computer
assumes the role of a tutor
– introducing content,
providing practice, and
assessing learning
Example: Learning through
YouTube
2. Computer-Aided Instructions (Types)
3. Simulation – provides a
controlled learning
environment that replicates
key elements of real –
world experience, a real
situation, phenomenon, or
process.
Example: Using PhET Interactive Simulations
2. Computer-Aided Instructions (Types)
4. Instructional Games –
usually another type of CAI
(e.g., drill and practice or
simulation) modified to
include gaming elements.
Example: Using Kahoot
2. Computer-Aided Instructions (Types)
5. Problem Solving –
designed to foster thinking
or problem-solving skills
but does not fit into one of
the other categories.
Example: Using Project Euler
2.1. Advantages of
Computer-Aided
Instructions
2.1. Advantages of Computer-Aided Instructions
• Interactive • Records student
• Provides immediate performance
feedback • Dynamic
• Motivates learners • Uses multiple forms
• Can adjust for the of presentation
learner (difficulty
level, content)
2.2. Limitations of
Computer-Aided
Instructions
2.2. Advantages of Computer-Aided Instructions
• Can be expensive • Some applications
• Development is are ineffective
time-consuming. • CAI is not applicable
• Not all learning to all subjects/fields
outcomes are well-
addressed
3. Productivity Suite
and Academic
Software
(Terms, Definitions, and Examples)
3. Productivity Suite and Academic Software
1. Productivity software –
is typically generic
business application
software that educators
can use and adapt for the
administrative and
professional tasks.
Example: Microsoft Office
3. Productivity Suite and Academic Software
2. Academic software –
includes a wide variety of
software packages that can
be used to help the teacher
teach and those designed
to help the learner acquire
targeted competencies
Example: Google Classroom
3. Productivity Suite and Academic Software
3. Interactive software –
refers to software which
accepts input from
humans as it runs
Example: Microsoft Word
3. Interactive software advantages
• Empower students to steer their learning.
• Engage all senses, fostering tech-positive
attitudes.
• Foster self-confidence and online
collaboration skills.
3. Interactive software disadvantages
• May not hold students’ attention
• Limited resources may hinder
participation
• Prolonged computer use can cause
physical strain
