Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment using Technology

Using Technology in Education Setting

The fast paced of technological advancement encourages everyone to use different kinds of technology whenever necessary . As such , this also calls for educational institutions and educators to implement curriculum , instruction and assessment with the use of technology . More than the use of these technologies to technology-related courses that generally require the use of which , it is has become a trend now to integrate the use and learning of technology in many disciplines Admittedly , using technology in educational setting enhances the implementation of curriculum and instruction p

In a research presented by James Pellegrino (2006 , he stated that there are many ways in which technology assist in the design and delivery of effective learning environments (p .3 ' He stated in his research that for the past decades there have been many measures and theories that were formulated for educational functions , however many of which were not properly implemented or used because they were not easily understood or packaged in accessible ways . With this shortcoming in implementing these methods , he stated that using technology can help address the issue . He stated an example how this could be so

By building statistical models into technology-based learning environments for use in classrooms , teachers can assign more complex tasks , capture and replay students ' performances , share exemplars of competent performance , and in the process gain critical information about students ' competence . Without question , computer and communications technologies are making it possible to create powerful learning environments and simultaneously assess what students are learning at very fine levels of detail , with vivid simulations of real-world situations and in ways that are tightly integrated with instruction (p .11

Given Pelligrino 's assessment , it is really necessary to use technology in the current trend of educational instruction and implementation of curriculum

Technology as an Aid to Instruction

During classes , technological advancement has proven their worth as aids in a more effective instruction to students . Technologies like audio-visual presentations primarily help students to remember and retain their lessons in mind . Technology , undoubtedly , reaches out to different kinds of students with consideration to multiple intelligences . Visual students are more likely to learn when they see visual aids while others can learn more efficiently when they hear their lessons . Technologies also aids in the educator 's creativity in the presentation of their lessons

Gadgets like multimedia projectors , televisions and radio can help educators give their students a glimpse of the reality of what they are telling to the students . When before , students have to imagine the details of their lessons now , they can see examples of which . In the field scientific research , most especially , technologies have continuously aided researchers in their search for more complex being or the simplest things in the realm of living and non-living things

Therefore , technology can be more related to educational setting when it is use to promote the more effective and efficient learning of students to curriculum and instruction . More than ever , the assessment of curriculum will be easier with the use...
