Technology Integration 21 st Century skills What are Tools ? Technology Tools ICT skills ICT Tools Graphic tools Digital Tools Knowledge Maps Charts Animation Tools End Note
The world of Technology is advancing very rapidly.Technology is continuously changing. Change is not always easy. The initial human reaction to change is resistance. Resistance makes for slow change.Change is inevitable. Change led to progress.
Learners must have the ability to adapt to changes

Technology promotes the skill of learning to learn and improves their learning outcomes. Technology provides “head- heart and hand approach” to learning.

Basic Basic LiteracyLiteracy
Basic literacy is language proficiency to function on the job and in society.
Scientific LiteracyScientific LiteracyScientific literacy is knowledge and
understanding of the scientific concepts and processes.
Economic LiteracyEconomic LiteracyEconomic literacy is the ability to
identify economic problems, alternatives, costs, and benefits.
Technological LiteracyTechnological LiteracyTechnological literacy is knowledge about
what technology is, how it works, what purposes it can serve, and how it can be used efficiently and effectively to achieve specific goals.

Definition of ToolDefinition of Tool
– A tool is defined as, “anything that aids us in accomplishing a task,” .
– Tools and techniques can be broadly defined as the practical methods and skills applied to specific activities to enable improvements.
Multiple uses of ToolsMultiple uses of Tools Technology is a very versatile
tool, a bit like a screwdriver. A screwdriver can screw and
unscrew screws. it can also be used to pry open
paint tin lids, be used as a stirrer, as a hole punch, as a hammer, as a tool for reaching the object that is always just out of reach etc.

Multiple uses of Technology Multiple uses of Technology ToolsTools(Thomas et. al. 2002). (Thomas et. al. 2002). Technology can be used as: a tool for inquiry, a tool for construction, a tool for communication, a tool for expression, a tool for productivity and a tool to assist in problem solving and
the making of informed decisions.
Technology ToolsTechnology ToolsTechnology communication tools- to
collaborate, publish and interact with peers, experts and audiences.
Technology research tools-to locate information, to process data and report results.
Technology productivity tools- construct models
Technology problem solving and decision- making tools
Use of computer-based Use of computer-based technologytechnology
computer-based services can be used to search for and find relevant information in a range of contexts; computer-based services can be used to retrieve information using a variety of media; computer based services can be used to write, analyze, present and communicate information;

The distributed and self – paced learning -at anytime/ anywhere (the World Wide Web provides unlimited data and experiences); Electronic messaging; Virtual learning environments.
“ Any technology which increase the rate of learning would enable the teacher to teach less and the learner to learn more”
Information and Information and Communication technology : Communication technology : DefinitionsDefinitionsInformation technology (IT) is
defined as the study or use of electronic equipment, especially computers for storing, analysing and sending out information.
Communication technology is the process of sending, receiving and exchanging information.
New digital paradigmNew digital paradigmICT become a key element in economic
development.ICT plays significant role in the growth of
societies and economies and poverty alleviation.
ICT provides more responsive and transparent governance as well as improving the reach and delivery of health, education and other social services.
ICT literacy basically involves using digital technology, communication tools and/or access, manage, integrate, evaluate and create information in order to function in a knowledge society.

Knowledge maps come in different forms:
oEach one best suited for organizing a particular type of information
What are the different What are the different types of types of Knowledge Knowledge mapsmaps?? Hierarchical organizers- present main
ideas and supporting details in ranking order, Comparative organizers- depict
similarities among key concepts, Sequential organizers- illustrate a series
of steps or place events in a chronological order,
Cyclical organizers- depict a series of events that have no beginning or end,
Conceptual organizers- include a main concept with supporting facts, evidence, or characteristics(Bromley, et al., 1998).

Mind mapping was originated by Tony Buzan in 1971. Mind mapping involves writing down a central idea and thinking up new and related ideas which radiate out from the centre. Then looking for branches out and connections between the ideas.
