Educational Technology in a Nutshell

Introduction Technology is very helpful to students

nowadays, because we are in the 21st century and most of the people were into gadgets especially computers. Using technology has its advantages and disadvantages. To mush use of technology can be harmful to us, but that is why we need to study educational technology. To transform traditional way of teaching in to a modern and updated one.

Educational Technology in a Nutshell

Educational technology is the effective use of technological tools in learning. As a concept, it concerns an array of tools, such as media, machines and networking hardware, as well as considering underlying theoretical perspectives for their effective application.

Also called e-learning, it includes an array of approaches, components, and delivery methods.

It includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video, and includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as local intranet/extranet and web-based learning.

It is also the scientific and organized teaching learning process and or product.

Educational technology is the use of technology to improve education.

Educational technology is sometimes also known as instructional technology or learning technology.

Technology in Education

Is the application of technology to any of those processes involved in operating the institutions which house the educational enterprise.

Bridging the generation gap

A huge generation gap in the field of education also exist and it will continue to widen if it will not adapt the changes.

   According to Alvin Toffler’s book, Future Shock, it shows that information age has begun to create many cultural changes in the family and society as a whole. Much of the old technology such as tube radios, platter records and etc., are quickly vanishing today because of the rapid development or changes of technology.

How to bridge the gap?

Differentiate modern and traditional way of teaching.

Understand the potentials of ICT.

Traditional teachingTraditional teaching is concerned

with the teacher being the controller of the learning environment.

Traditional way is by using visual aids and writing on boards.

Also known as the chalk and talk teaching.

Modern Teaching modern methods of teaching listening skills

encompass everything from interactive exercises to multimedia resources. 

Modern teaching is defined as being a method of teaching knowledge and skills based on the current world needs.

This method of teaching has introduced children to computer studies, online testing, and other types of technology used in the world.

The four IT-based projects:Resource-

based Projects

Computer as a TutorComputer can be an effective tutor. It

can facilitate students very well. It is very effective in widening our knowledge through a specific thing. Students can easily catch up the lessons through the help of the computer or technology. And it also make the learning more interesting.

Computer as a Teacher tool

HypermediaHypermedia is a multimedia. It is a

educational computer software where information is shown and student activities are integrated in a virtual learning environment.

Characteristics of hypermedia applications:Learner controlLearner wide range of navigation routesVariety of media

Learning Through EDTECH 1 and EDTECH 2

Learning in Educational Technology 1

   In ET-1, the learner was also oriented towards averting the dangers of dehumanization which technology brings into societies, such as through ideological propaganda, pornography, financial fraud, and other exploitative use of technology. Sad to say, these dangers continue to affect peoples and cultures while widening the gap between rich and poor countries.

In EDTECH1 it is more on the history and background of technology. It says that Technology is not just a machine it is a “planned”, systematic method of working to achieve planned outcomes a process not a product.

Computers should be use according to their functions, it can help us in our studies and even at work. Computer is not just by playing games and watching videos. It is also helpful in our daily lives, computer has been part of our lives since then.

Learning in Educational Technology 2

 Educational technology 2 is concerned with “Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning.” Specifically this is focused on introducing, reinforcing, supplementing and extending the knowledge and skills to learners so that they can become exemplary users of educational technology.

Educational Technology 2 will involve a deeper understanding of the computer a well as hands-on application of computer skills. 

Students learn faster, assignments made easier and studying more interesting thru the use of computers and the internet.

The course aims to help the learners to adapt to the rapid and continuing change in information and communication technology (ICT).

The Student After EDTECH 2

With the help of technology our world is fast changing. From traditional into a modern one. Just like technology our world is getting updated to what is trend. By studying Educational Technology people were now open minded to what is new and trend. We learn more and share more because of technology.
