Why Teach with ICTs? By Patricia B. Arinto Assistant Professor U.P. Open University
What are ICTs? Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are “technological tools and resources that are used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information .” C. Blurton They “ include hardware, software and netware, as well as institutional, financial, cultural and application-related parameters that determine how ICT [s] will be shaped and developed by society at large . ” The Research Council of Norway

Expanding access to education with ICTs Broadcast technologies have been used to reach geographically dispersed populations (e.g., Telesecundaria , radio and TV universities, Strong Republic Schools program) Distance education and open learning: providing education to marginalized sectors (e.g., women, persons with disabilities) and non-traditional learners (adults)

Expanding access to education
Promoting efficiency with ICTs Supplementing conventional delivery mechanisms to make educational provision more cost-effective Increasing learning time without extending classroom time through self-study modules, educational TV and radio programs, interactive software

ICTs and improving the quality of teaching Teacher training at a distance (e.g., UP NISMED’s Iskul on the Air , UPOU’s teacher training programs) Teacher support (e.g., teaching resources online, teacher networks) Teacher empowerment – to be creative, to innovate

On ICTs and teachers “ Educational technology is not, and never will be, transformative on its own…computers cannot replace teachers—teachers are the key to whether technology is used appropriately and effectively.” Carlson and Gadio, 2002, p. 119

Myths about ICTs in education Macro myth: Merely providing ICTs to schools transforms the learning process Micro myth: Providing technologies means acquiring computers and securing a connection to the Internet Haddad and Draxler, 2002, p. 4

‘ To “tech” or not to “tech” education is not the question. The real question is how to harvest the power of technology to meet the challenges of the 21 st century and make education relevant, responsive, and effective for [every]one, anywhere, anytime.’ Haddad and Draxler, 2002, p. 16
