Lesson # 2

BEED 34

Learning objectives

• (^) Describe the characteristics of the target learners of the K to 12 Curriculum; and
• (^) Reflect on the ways the learners could be taught in the K to 12 curriculum

introduction We live in the so-called “digital age” where technology is part of our everyday lives. From the moment we wake up in the morning until we go to bed at night, we are surrounded by our computers, mobile phones, and many other forms of technology. It is hard to imagine life nowadays without our trusted electronics with us. Our modern society has been brought about the digital revolution that started between the 1950s and 1970s as digital computers and other electronic media proliferated and began to permeate the lives of people.

introduction

As technology began to become a bigger part of our

lives, more and more of our learners are exposed to

technology. It comes as no surprise that learners

nowadays are able to adapt to technology easier

than ever before. Therefore, the K to 12 curriculum

takes into account the learner born in such a world.

In order to become a better teacher to these

learners, we need to understand them and the world

they live in.
