5. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
The word "technology " comes from
the Greek word “techne” which means
“craft or art”. Educational technology refers
to the art or craft of responding to our
educational needs. Technology is not just
machines. It is a "planned, systematic
method of working to achieve planned
outcomes-a process not a product.
6. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
Based from Dale
1969
Technology also
refers to any valid and
reliable process or
procedure that is
derived from basic
research using the
scientific method.
7. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
Based from In the Definition of Educational
Technology
Educational technology is “a complex,
integrated process involving people, procedures,
ideas, devices and organization for analyzing
problems and devising, implementing, evaluating and
managing solution to those problems, involved in all
aspects of human learning.”
8. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
Other terms that are associated with
Educational Technology
• Technology in education
• Instructional technology
• Technology integration in education
books, educational media
9. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
Technology in Education
“The application of technology to any of those
processes involved in operating the institutions in which
house the educational enterprise. It includes the
application of technology to food, health, finance,
scheduling, grade, reporting and other processes which
support education within institutions.”
10. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
Instructional Technology
“Is a part of Educational Technology.”
Refers to those aspects of educational
technology that “are concerned with
instruction as contrasted to designs and
operations of educational institutions.”
11. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
Technology Integration
“Means learning technologies to introduce,
reinforce, supplement and extend skills.”
“Technology is a part and parcel of instructional
technology, which in turn is a part of educational
technology.”
12. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
Dale’s Cone of Experience
Dale’s Cone of Experience is
a model that incorporates several
theories related to instructional design
and learning processes. During the
1960s, Edgar Dale theorized that
learners retain more information by
what they “do” as opposed to what is
“heard”, “read” or “observed”.
It is a visual model that is
composed of eleven stages starting
from the concrete experiences at the
bottom of the cone then it becomes
more and more abstract as it reach the
peak of the cone.
14. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
The Computer as the Teacher’s Tool
Informative Tool
The computer can
provide vast amounts of
information in various
forms, such as text,
graphics, sound, and
video. Even multimedia
encyclopedias are
today available on the
internet.
15. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
The Computer as the Teacher’s Tool
Communication Tool
The computer has been
used in communication as evident
by social networking sites as to
facebook, twitter and friendster.
We can even chat/talk friends and
families anywhere in the globe
through yahoo messenger or the
one in facebook or view them
through the webcam. We can
send messages and information
through the internet in just
seconds or minutes.
16. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
The Computer as the Teacher’s Tool
Constructive Tool
The computer itself
can be used for manipulating
information, visualizing one’s
understanding, and building
new knowledge. The
Microsoft Word computer
program itself is a desktop
publishing software that
allows users to organize and
present their ideas in
attractive formats.
17. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
The Computer as the Teacher’s Tool
Co-constructive Tool
Students can use
constructive tools to work
cooperatively and construct a
shared understanding of new
knowledge. One way of co-
construction is the use of the
electronic whiteboard where
students may post notices to
a shared
document/whiteboard.
Students may also co-edit the
same document from their
homes.
18. Educational Technology in a Nutshell
Situating Tool
By means of virtual
reality (RS) extension
systems, the computer can
create 3-D images on display
to give the user the feeling
that are situated in a virtual
environment. A flight
simulation program is an
example of a situating tool
which places the user in
simulated flying
environment.
20. Learning through edtech ii
Educational Technology is not only
promoting the skills of the teacher and
student on how he/she going to use
technology however it is coordinates in
enhancing the teaching and learning
process.
21. Learning through edtech ii
Considering that technology was
integrated in the teaching-learning
process, learning became more interesting
unlike the way it was before. Teacher is
standing in front of the class discussing the
lesson and most of the students are not
focus. There is more interaction between
the learners and teacher through the aid of
technology.
22. Learning through edtech ii
Teachers must have to develop skills
through comprehensive practices and inquiry of
the 21st century learner. Future teacher, we must
be malleable enough to alter these development,
we must become more trained in using computer
because nowadays the way of teaching in a
classrooms is changing. In distinction to Traditional
(Teacher-Dominated) to CAI (Computer Assisted
Instruction/Student Centered Learning) teachers
used laptops, projectors, etc. in the classroom
when they teached.
23. The student after Edtech
As a future educator, we must know what
technology is and how to use such. We must
know how to be more adventurous in a way that
our students will learn more through technology.
Though the use of softwares/applications
teachers do such lesson in easier way no longer
take long preparation in doing lesson at the same
time students also understand the lesson being
thought and discussed.
24. The student after Edtech
It serve as an eye opener to the future
educator like me, on how I am going to use
technology that will help my students to
easily comprehend and understand the
lesson. Technology nowadays will help 21st
century to adapt and gain more knowledge.
It also caters the needs and demands of the
modern students.
25. The student after Edtech
Since Educational Technology has
something to do with our skills in computers,
it must be clear that computers cannot
replace the teachers. No matter what
modern technology we have, “Teachers are
teachers”. Computers are devices/things
that need the assistance/manipulation of
human especially teachers. The
representation of teachers is to the
information deliverer and information setting
controller.
