Technology…
is not a collection of machines and devices,
but,
a way of acting.
Educational Technology is the study and ethical practice
of facilitating learning and improving performance by
creating, using and managing appropriate technological
processes and resources (AECT, 2004 ).
(Muffoletto, 1994)

Meaningful Learning
‘Authentic activity...is important
for learners, because it is the
