Educational
technology


Educational technology in the words of this
author means technologically educating
students emphasizing computers, internet,
television, radio, and many others to improve
their knowledge.

Educational technology is ‘‘the study and
ethical practice of facilitating learning
and improving performance by creating,
using, and managing appropriate
technological processes and resources,’’
according to the Association for
Educational Communications and Technology
(AECT), the largest professional society
focused solely on educational technology.

(english articles, Internet 2011)

Educational technology
(other deﬁnitions)

Educational technology is the considered
implementation of appropriate tools,
techniques, or processes that facilitate the
application of senses, memory, and cognition to
enhance teaching practices and improve
learning outcomes.

and Design at Rasmussen College

the ﬁve keys to educational
technology
1. Considered implementation.

2. Appropriate tools, techniques, or processes.

3. Facilitate the application of senses, memory,
and cognition.

4. Enhance teaching practices.

5. Improve learning outcomes.


CONSIDERED IMPLEMENTATION

The idea that the implementation should be
"considered" means additionally that there is
an assessment loop built into the process; as
outcomes are measured, effective use of
technology is repeated, while ineffective
use is either improved or abandoned.



Appropriate tools, techniques, or
processes

It is quite important to include the modiﬁer
of "appropriate" to this component, otherwise
we see an ever-increasing use of technology
that adds no value to education yet exacts a
heavy price, again in multiple resource
categories. The use of appropriate tools,
techniques, or processes is much more likely
to result in the outcomes that educators
desire.



Facilitate the application of
senses, memory, and cognition

The use of video to bring the depths of the
universe to the learner's eyes; the use of
the Internet to give the learner instant
access to thoughts and observations of
humanity's greatest thinkers--these are
examples of technology facilitating the
application of our own senses, memories, and
cognitive abilities.



Enhance teaching practices

Demonstrations, illustrations, instruction
across learning styles--all of these are
areas in which technology may provide those
teaching with more leverage over learner
gaps in knowledge and understanding.



Improve learning outcomes

To justify the continued experimentation with and
exploration of new technologies: smart
classrooms, use of podcasts, access to the
Internet, laptops for every child, and on and on,
we need to assess our outcomes, make incremental
changes in our methodologies to address
shortcomings, then assess again, closing the loop
in order to evaluate the efﬁcacy of our work. We
succeed when we are able to show improved
learning outcomes, and as long as our metrics
accurately represent the entire cross-section of
the learner's experience, we have a legitimate
case for the continued use of technology in the
teaching and learning endeavor.


Instructional
Technology


Instructional technology in the words of this
author means instruction in the classroom
that uses technology such as computers,
internet, etc. to enhance the minds of the
students.

Instructional technology is the use of a
variety of teaching tools to improve student
learning. We usually think of computers and
computer software when we think of
instructional technology, but instructional
technologies are not limited to computers in
the classroom. Instructional technology
describes all tools that are used for teaching
and learning such as: cameras, CD players,
PDA's, GPS devices, computer-based probes,
calculators and electronic tools we have yet
to discover.

instructional technology
(other deﬁnitions)

Instructional technology is just what it
sounds like: using computers, CD-ROMs,
interactive media, modems, satellites,
teleconferencing, and other technological
means to support learning.

3 ways instructional technology
affects learning

through:

1. curriculum

2. instruction

3. assessment


curriculum
Advanced technology has the potential to
signiﬁcantly expand the breadth and depth
of the curriculum. With the Internet, for
example, students can access information
far beyond the scope of their traditional
textbooks. Curricula can be individualized
and adapted to students’ speciﬁc learning
styles. Instructional technology has the
power to enhance overall knowledge
accumulation, instead of just focusing on
content mastery.



instruction
Advanced technology could signiﬁcantly
affect the role of teachers, as well as the
structure of schools and classrooms. The
use of instructional technology changes the
teacher’s role from expert to facilitator or
coach. Plus, instruction is no longer limited
to the school building or classroom. For
example, students can take courses from a
global satellite feed or on the Internet.
Learning can take place at home, at work, or
anywhere else that has the capacity for a
television, phone, or computer.



assessment
Instructional technology will focus more
and more on building feedback loops directly
into the learning process. Students can
obtain frequent and accurate feedback,
make corrections to their work, and
structure learning experiences around
their individual needs. Assessment can be
monitored by offsite instructors, plus it can
be ongoing and cumulative.



COMPARISONS & CONTRASTS
