Chapter 44 DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-2584-4.ch044 ABSTRACT This chapter examines blended learning and technological development in teaching and learning. This study is based around the suggestion that technological development can emerge in Nigeria when an enabling environment and other necessary facilities for blended learning are made available in diferent institutions for teaching and learning. This chapter addresses the following topics: net generation and use of technology outside of schools, the digital environment, computer use and blended learning in schools, well-constructed digital environments, teaching and blended learning, the shift from teaching to learning, student-centered methods, theories supporting the new view of the learning process, play way method, group instructional methods, Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory, Skinner’s theory of learn- ing, Jean Piaget, Jerome Bruner, problem-based learning, anchored instruction, distributed cognition, cognition fexibility theory, cognitive apprenticeship, situated learning, self-regulated learning, and entry behaviour/residual knowledge. INTRODUCTION Blended technology-aided learning, as distinct from learning about technology, has the capacity to transform learning environments in ways that are still difficult for most educators to imagine (Ololube, 2011). Although children in today’s schools have only known the digital world, many adults continue to experience great difficulty using basic computer functions such as email, search engines, and presenta- tion software (Ololube, 2009). For the first time in human history, the young are thus more confident with and fluent in the dominant technologies of the day, than the adults charged to teach them.
