The roles of technology in teaching and learning
Lada, your teacher in technology for teaching and learning. And for this video I will discuss the roles of technology in teaching and learning. According to Stossich 2015, educational technology has three domains first, domain technology as a teacher, together with the teacher, technology can support the teacher to teach another person, or technology, when programmed by the teacher, can be teacher for her own.
The teacher will simply turn on or off radio programs, television programs or play DVDs or CDs containing educational programs Nowadays, it is very easy to learn or learn something. We already use technology to learn something. It is said that with just one click on Google, you will know the answer to your question. Also on YouTube, there are many academic discussions and seminars to watch, however we have to be critical about the information we get in whatever medium we used.
Technology as a teacher

Second domain technology as a teaching tool like a teacher. Technology is a teaching tool but it can never replace a teacher. This is like the craftsman, which you can get to like any other tool. It is used to facilitate the enlightenment of the teacher’s work. Technology is only a tool of the teacher and cannot replace the teacher in the classroom. For teaching students, they are only used as a tool by the teacher to make the subjects taught clearer.
They are also used to further simplify and facilitate the teaching process. And the third area is technology as a learning tool, while the teacher uses technology as a teaching tool. Likewise, it is an effective tool for learning as a learning tool. It makes learning easy and effective. Can produce learning outcomes that require technology-assisted instruction. Even teachers who teach can use similar tools for learning as a learning tool.
Technology as a teaching tool
Technology provides tremendous support to the teacher. As a facilitator of learning, it transforms a passive classroom into an active and interactive one with audio-visual aids, charts and models, smart e-learning classrooms that motivate and increase students’ attention level. Many of these can be searched on the web.
The teacher also facilitates the preparation of teaching materials. Sometimes the teacher no longer prepares because there are already tools available from the web. Two technology has modernized the teaching, learning environment. Teachers are assisted and supplemented with appropriately structured teaching materials for daily activities.
Benefits of Technology for Teachers and Teaching

This time, let’s discuss the benefits of technology for students and the first benefit of learning is supporting students to learn how to learn on their own. All teachers fully understand that the subject matter or content is a means to achieve the learning outcomes. There are three categories of knowledge. According to Egbert 2009. First, declarative knowledge consists of the discrete pieces of information that answer the what, who, when, and where questions.
It is often learned through memorization of facts. Drills. In practice, it can be learned with simple memory or concept maps. Declarative knowledge is the foundational knowledge necessary for students to achieve more complex, higher-order thinking, such as critical thinking and creativity. Research and production technology also helps children acquire declarative knowledge. Now that the teaching method is modular, students learn to be independent learners.

By reading internet-based literature, students gain new knowledge. Second, structural knowledge consists of facts or pieces of declarative knowledge that are combined to achieve some form of meaning. An example of declarative knowledge is the pencil.
The idea that arose from a pencil is the understanding that it is something used for writing. This is referred to as structural knowledge. It can be presented with concept maps, categorization or classification through the numerous conceptual frameworks available from the web, students learn and develop their structural knowledge.
Enhancing declarative, structural and procedural knowledge with technology

Third, procedural knowledge is knowledge in action or knowing how to do something. It is based on facts but learned through the process of procedural knowledge. Examples include how to drive a car, how to use a mobile phone or how to speak English. Procedural knowledge is indicated by a performance task or graphical representation of a concept.
It was mentioned earlier that there are so many tutorials uploaded so far on YouTube that students can watch to learn a new skill. Secondary technology enhances students’ communication skills through social interactions. This is usually described as the transmission of information from one individual to another as an individual or groups of individuals.
Improving Communication Skills through Technology
According to Shirley 2003 and Egger 2009, there are three basic patterns of point-to-point two-way or 1-to-1 communication for example internet chat, telephone chat or even face-to-face chat. Two one-to-many outgoing examples a lecture or television. There is no social interaction, three many examples are the group discussion, but the sessions are held together.
This type of interaction provides opportunities for social interaction. Let us now discuss the benefits of technology-supported communication, which allows any teacher to effectively guide students in making learning limitless. Because communication and social interaction transcend the school day or school environment.
