Educational Technology

in a Nutshell

Educational technology is a wide

field. Therefore, one can find many definitions,

some of which are conflicting. Educational

technology can be considered either as a design science or as a collection of different

research interests addressing fundamental

issues of learning, teaching and social

organization

• Use of technology is principled

Technology means the systematic

application of scientific knowledge to practical

tasks. Therefore, educational technology is

based on theoretical knowledge drawn from different disciplines plus experiential knowledge drawn from educational

practice.

• Educational technology aims to improve education. Technology should facilitate learning

processes and increase performance of the

educational system(s) as it regards to

effectiveness and/or efficiency.

ICT• can be used in many different ways, and

how it is integrated into educational settings depends largely on teachers' instructional goals and strategies.

• Information has become abundant and easily accessible. Rather than reading the unified perspective typically presented by a textbook, students have access to many different points of view

Using Technology to Find and Represent

Educational Problems• One major challenge for teachers

interested in problem-based learning is locating problems that are appropriate for their students and for the topics that they need to learn. • Representing and communicating

such complex problem situations is an important function of technology.

Using Technology to find Educational Resources

• A second function of technology in problem-based learning environments is locating information needed to solve problems or do other kinds of research.

• Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.

Using Technology to Summarize and Present

Findings• In the early twenty-first century computer

tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spread sheets or concept maps.

• To be able to communicate and defend their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.

Using Technology for Collaboration and Distance

Education• These include online courses that

provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses. • Opportunities for interaction with peers

from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures

The Four IT Based Project

I.RESOURCE-BASED PROJECTS

II. SIMPLE CREATIONS

III. GUIDED HYPERMEDIA PROJECTS

IV. WEB-BASED PROJECTS

I. RESOURCE-BASED PROJECTS

The teacher steps out of the traditional role of being an context expert and information provider, and instead lets the students find their own facts and information.

II. SIMPLE CREATIONS

In developing software, creativity as an outcome should not be equated with ingenuity or high intelligence. Creating is more consonant with planning, making, assembling, designing or building.

III. GUIDED HYPERMEDIA PROJECTS

The production of self-made multimedia projects can be approached into different ways:• Instructive tools- such as in the

production by students of a power point presentation of a selective topic.

• Constructive tools- such as when students do a multi-media presentation (with text, graphs, photos, audio narration, interviews, video clips, etc. to simulate a television news show.

IV. WEB-BASED PROJECTS

Students can be made to create and post web pages on a given topic. But creating new pages, even single page web pages, maybe tool sophisticated and time consuming fort the average student.

Learning through Edtech

2

Computers are an everyday thing for us. The computer is our present and it may be the rest of

our future. Most schools are equipped with a computer lab for

students to use. It is also a important part of distance

learning, it makes the student use his or her own time management

skills to keep on track.

EDTC serve as a teaching aid not as entertainment. Instructional videos

give students a chance to see the actual use of tools and strategies they have been learn at school in a practical

setting. Some students do not learn well just from teacher, videos and presentation have been known to hold students attention for longer time so they can understand the

lesson well

We all know that technology help us to make our work easier. In our time we still

use the traditional materials or the traditional way in teaching and strategies,

but still this traditional way are a substitute for the absence of technology. EDTC 2

discussed how technology is a very wide field many sources of information and online

communication that can be used. We can also collaborate in different countries with

the help of ICT. Technology can do many things in easiest way so as a future teacher

be sure that we are inform and aware.

Technology in our society is hard to get away from

Technology can be an excellent teaching tool
