    The Role of Technology in Delivering the

    Curriculum
    In the world that we currently live in, technology is a very vital factor. With each passing day a new
    software or gadget is being brought into the market that serves to improve our lives in one way or another
    and make it much easier and also to advance an already existing software or gadget. However, it is
    important to note that despite the fact that technology plays a big role in making our lives easier, it is not
    the only role it has.
    Technology is increasingly growing its importance in the education sector. The more technology
    advances, the more benefits it provides for students at every education level.

    Technology that is made use of in the classroom is very beneficial in helping the students understand and
    absorb what they are being taught. For instance, since there are a number of students who are visual
    learners, projection screens connected to computers could be put in classrooms to let the students see
    their notes as opposed to simply sitting down and listening to the instructor teach.
    There is a number of very good software that can be used to supplement the class curriculum. The
    programs make available to students quizzes, tests, activities and study questions that could help the
    students continue with the learning process when they are out of the classroom.

    Technology in the Classroom


    Instructional media may be also be referred to as media technology or learning technology, or simply
    technology. There are types of instructional media: Non-projected and Projected media.
    Non-projected media- are those aids which are used without any projection. So they translate
    abstract ideas into a more realistic format. They allow instruction to move from verbal
    representation to a more concrete level.
    Projected media- are defined as media formats in which text and still images are enlarged and
    displayed on an illuminated screen. The text and images are usually printed on a transparent film
    such as an overhead transparency or a slide.

    Non-projected media Projected media


    Real objects Overhead transparencies
    Models Opaque projection
    Field trips Slides
    Kits Filmstrips
    Printed Materials (Books, Worksheets) Films
    Visuals (drawings, photographs ,graphs, Video, VCD, DVD
    charts, posters) Computer/ Multimedia presentation
    Visuals Boards (chalkboard, whiteboard,
    flannel board. Etc.) Introducing
    Audio materials

    Factors for Technology Selection


    1. Practicality
    2. Appropriateness in relation to the learners
    3. Activity/suitability
    4. Objective-matching
    The Primary Roles of Educational Technology in delivering school curriculums instructional program:

    1. Upgrading the quality of teaching-and-learning in schools.


    2. Increasing the capability of the teacher of effectively inculcate learning and for students to gain
    mastery of lessons and course
    3. Broadening the delivery of education outside schools through non-traditional approaches to
    formal and informal learning
    4. Revolutionizing the use of technology to boost educational paradigm shifts that give importance
    to student-centered and holistic learning.

    There are a number of people who are of the opinion that technology spoils children. For instance as
    opposed to sitting down and getting to know how to count, they will opt to get a calculator. Despite the
    fact that there are people who are making these arguments, technology still remains to be a very vital
    component of the society we live in today. By introducing it into our schools and classrooms, we will
    ensure that the students are equipped with much better tools and knowledge to make their transition
    from school to the work place a very easy one. We need to face the truth, technology is the in thing in
    the world today and it has become necessary in each and every aspect of our lives and education has
    without doubt not been left behind. It is very useful in providing more knowledge to our students and
    also on making them competitive in the job market.
