Information Technology AND Teacher Education ?
Teacher Education - in general - does not provide training in information technology,
simply, because most people who are involved with Teacher Education,do not know what it is.
![Page 3: HOW COME WE DO NOT TRAIN TEACHERS TO APPLY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ?](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051418/568151ad550346895dbfdc52/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Information Technology AND Teacher Education ?
In Teacher Education, and in Education in general, the words, “technology” and “information technology” refer mostly to the technical details of “modern ‘hi-tech’ instruments and tools”.
![Page 4: HOW COME WE DO NOT TRAIN TEACHERS TO APPLY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ?](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051418/568151ad550346895dbfdc52/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Consequently,
Teacher Training in Information Technology means - in general - the provision of the technical details of how to use these tools AND then, going into the didactical aspects of how to use these tools in “learning environments”.

But what is TECHNOLOGY?
“the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area” Merriam Webster WWWebster Dictionary
“the branch of knowledge that deals with industrial arts, applied science, engineering” “the application of knowledge for practical ends..” The Random House Dictionary of the English Language - College Edition
From Greek: “technologia: systematic treatment”

And so, what is TECHNOLOGY?
FIRST OF ALL, IT IS A CERTAIN TYPE OF
KNOWLEDGE !!
It is a knowledge organized for the purpose of practical applications.

How can IT and ED be related?
Education Informatics
?Tools ? Knowledge?

How can it be done, in general?
“In order for physics to be useful to other sciences in a theoretical way, other than in the invention of instruments, the science in question must supply to the physicist a description of the object in a physicist’s language.” R. P. Feynman, in “Six Easy Pieces”, Addison-Wesley, 1963

How can IT and ED be related?
Feynman’s requirement:
Education Informatics
!

How can IT and ED be related?
Translating Feynman’s requirement:
If we want IT to be of use in ED, we must be able to describe ED objects in terms of IT !!!

A Useful Starting Point
Reading and Writing are the first examples of Information Technology.
And lo and behold, they are the principal technologies of our post-oral learning environments.

Conditions for a Synergistic Incorporation of Software into Educational Activities
(1) Start with the actual data occurring in the activity.
(2) If one wishes to replace a conventional system by __,a digital one, the following must hold:
(3) The processes must match the original processes.
(4) The duty of the learner must be preserved.
(5) The data - types and structures - must match.

A New Literacy
• It is an Information Technology.
• It has several applications.
• It is an extension and an expansion of the Old Information Technology.
• And like Old Literacy, it requires armies of pioneers, in order to create and bring about the New Literacy, and the New Learning Environments.
• It has not been done yet.
