IMPLEMENTING THE CURRICULUM
THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN DELIVERING THE CURRICULUMPaz I. Lucido, Ph.D.
After the tasks of learning fundamental concepts about the curriculum – its nature and development – you are now brought to the more practical phase of curriculum implementation. Appropriately, the role of technology in curriculum implementation shall now be treated.
The role of technology finds its place at the onset of curriculum implementation, namely at the stage of instructional planning. In a teaching-learning situation, there is the critical need to provide the learners information that forms a coherent whole. Otherwise, learning may end up haphazard and in the end ineffective. A systematic approach to instructional planning is, therefore, necessary. And in instructional planning, each lesson should have a clear idea of general specific goals, instructional objectives, content, activities, media, materials, assessment and evaluation on how objectives have been achieved.
In the choice of instructional media, technology comes into play.

Instructional media may also be referred to as media technology or learning technology, or simply technology. Technology plays a crucial role in delivering instruction to learners.
Technology offers various tools of learning and these range from non-projected and projected media from which the teacher can choose, depending on what he sees fit with the intended instructional setting. For example, will a chalkboard presentation be sufficient in illustrating a mathematical procedure; will a video clip be needed for motivating learners?
In the process, what ensues is objective-matching where the teacher decides on what media or technology to use to help achieve the set learning objectives.
