3. Introduction
An era of making work easier using technology is on
. So why not education ? technologies can increase
educational productivity by accelerating the rate of
learning; reducing costs associated with
instructional materials or program delivery; and
better utilizing teacher’s time. Technology infuses
classrooms with digital learning tools, such as
computers and hand held devices; expands course
offerings, experiences, and learning materials
4. What is Educational Technology?

5. Why to use Technology?
Engaging – Using technology allows you to engage the
learner’s attention and enables students to create their own
work and feel more control over the learning experience.
Unique – Facilitates the creation of unique experiences for
students.
Learning Theory and Approaches – Enables different
types of interactions; cooperative learning, student-centered
learning and problem solving.
Teacher Productivity – Teachers can use software to create
lesson plans and handouts. In addition, computers provide
easy access to numerous resources that can be used in the
classroom.
Skill Building – Students can improve their technological
skills and learn how technology can help them succeed.

7. ABC’s of Technology
Technology is
Accessible– Teachers need to know how to use the
technology so that it is helpful to them.
Beneficial and enhancing for the learners –
There has to be a reason to use technology.
Cost effective
Demonstrating something that cannot be done in
a less complex way
Easy to use
8. How can we use technology in education ?
Lore
Flipped classroom
Lesson cast
CALL
e boards
9. Lore
The new startup is using a Facebook type platform-
riding the wave of what works- and tailoring it for
education. This social network allows professors and
students to communicate, follow one another, and
discuss class work and lectures.
In addition to the social aspect, it allows for
document uploads, calendar sharing, and a grade
book option. Students can follow their professors
and interact with them.
10. Flipped classroom
. Rather than spending the class time lecturing the
students, the lectures are delivered to the student’s in
video format for them to watch at home (or in study
hall).
Then, the classroom time is set aside for 1 on 1 help,
discussion, and interaction based on the lecture
homework. With nearly every student carrying a mobile
device or laptop, this model may give students and
teachers more time to work on areas of difficulty rather
than simple straight lecture. For too long, instructors
have seen that precious class time go to waste while a
teacher scribbles on a blackboard and has their back to
the students.
11. Lesson cast
Teachers need help and support with their lesson plans
just as much as students need help with studying for
exams. LessonCast allows teachers to submit a 2-minute
lesson plan strategy, idea, or resource using video,
documents, PowerPoint, etc. and share it with other
instructors.
The free-based software is just another way to offer
networking opportunities and a general pool of
knowledge that globally impacts education in a positive
way. Teachers Paying Teachers is a similar network that
allows educators to sell their lesson plans to other
instructors.
12. What is CALL?
CALL is Computer Assisted Language Learning.
The CALL lessons allows students to learn on their own
using structured and unstructured interactive lessons.
Bidirectional learning
Individualized learning
CALL is a tool that helps teachers to facilitate language
learning process and can be used to reinforce what has
been learned in the classrooms.
It can also be used as remedial to help learners with
limited language proficiency.
13. What is e board?
An eBoard is like an "Online Corkboard" that allows
teachers and administrators to quickly and easily
post messages, photos, files, and links to their own
information on the Internet. The purpose of this tool
is to enable communication between teachers,
administrators, parents and students that can help to
foster student achievement beyond the classroom
walls.

15. Conclusion
Technology support both teaching and learning,;
supports learning 24 hours a day, 7 days a week;
builds 21st century skills; increases student
engagement and motivation; and accelerates
learning. Technology also has the power to transform
teaching by ushering in a new model of connected
teaching. This model links teachers to their students
and to professional content, resources, and systems
to help them improve their own instruction and
personalize learning.
