- 8. Definition of Educational Technology Educational technology and e-learning can occur in or out of the classroom. It can be self-paced, asynchronous learning or may be instructor-led, synchronous learning. It is suited to distance learning and in conjunction with face-to- face teaching, which is termed blended learning. Educational technology is used by learners and educators in homes, schools, businesses, and other settings. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell
- 9. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell The roles of Edtech in learning TECHNOLOGY • Makes the world a new place. As delivery vehicles for instructional lessons. • Serves as a source and presenter of knowledge. • Technology like computers is seen as a productivity tool. • Educational technology serve as learning tool that learners learned with. • The learners learns from the technology and technology serve as a teacher.
- 10. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell The roles of Edtech in learning “From the traditional point of view, technology serves as source and presenter of knowledge. It is assumed that knowledge is embedded in the technology (e.g. the content presented by films and tv programs or the teaching sequence in programmed instruction) and the technology presents that knowledge to the student (David H. Jonasssen, et al, 1999).”
- 11. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell The roles of Edtech in learning “From the constructivist point of view, educational technology serves as learning tools that learners learn with. It engages learners in “active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative learning. It provides opportunities for technology and learner interaction for meaningful learning. In this case, technology will not be mere delivery vehicle for content. Rather it is used as facilitator of thinking and knowledge construction.”
- 12. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell The roles of Edtech in learning From a constructivist perspective, the following are roles of technology in learning: (Jonassen, et al 1999) • Technology as tools to support knowledge construction. • Technology as information vehicles for exploring knowledge to support learning- by constructing. • Technology as context to support learning-by doing. • Technology as a social medium to support learning-by conversing . • Technology as intellectual partner ( Jonassen 1996 ) to support learning-by reflecting.
- 13. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell Tools and Media used in Edtech • Audio and video Radio offers a synchronous educational vehicle, while streaming audio over the internet with webcasts and podcasts can be asynchronous, Classroom microphones, often wireless, can enable learners and educators to interact more clearly. Video technology has included VHS tapes and DVDs, as well as on-demand and synchronous methods with digital video via server or web-based options such as streamed video from YouTube, Teacher Tube, Skype, Adobe Connect, and webcams. Telecommuting can connect with speakers and other experts. Interactive digital video games are being used at K-12 and higher education institution.
- 14. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell Tools and Media used in Edtech • Computers, tablets and mobile devices Computers and tablets enable learners and educators to access websites as well as programs such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, PDF files, and images. Many mobile devices support m-learning. Mobile devices such as clickers and smartphones can be used for interactive audience response feedback.Mobile learning can provide performance support for checking the time, setting reminders, retrieving worksheets, and instruction manuals
- 15. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell Tools and Media used in Edtech • Social networks Group webpages, blogs, wikis, and Twitter allow learners and educators to post thoughts, ideas, and comments on a website in an interactive learning environment. Social networking sites are virtual communities for people interested in a particular subject to communicate by voice, chat, instant message, video conference, or blogs. The National School Boards Association found that 96% of students with online access have used social networking technologies, and more than 50% talk online about schoolwork. Social networking encourages collaboration and engagement and can be a motivational tool for self-efficacy amongst students.Every student has his or her own learning requirements, and a Web 2.0 educational framework provides enough resources, learning styles, communication tools and flexibility to accommodate this diversity.
- 16. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell Tools and Media used in Edtech • Webcams Webcams and webcasting have enabled creation of virtual classrooms and virtual learning environment. • Whiteboards Whiteboards predate tablets and other technological tools, but current interactive whiteboards and smartboards allow learners and instructors to write on the touch screen. The screen markup can be on either a blank whiteboard or any computer screen content. Depending on permission settings, this visual learning can be interactive and participatory, including writing and manipulating images on the interactive whiteboard.
- 17. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell Tools and Media used in Edtech • Screencasting Screencasting allows users to share their screens directly from their browser and make the video available online so that other viewers can stream the video directly. The presenter thus has the ability to show their ideas and flow of thoughts rather than simply explain them as simple text content. In combination with audio and video, the educator can mimic the one-on-one experience of the classroom and deliver clear, complete instructions. Learners have an ability to pause and rewind, to review at their own pace, something a classroom cannot always offer.
- 18. Learning through Edtech 2 Educational technology gives us a better comprehension on how technology is being integrated to the teaching and learning process which could make the learning more fun for the students and for the teachers as well, its aim is to engage the students on a collaborative way with the internet in order for them to learn better because learning is said to be a social activity. One may not learn alone he needs others to learn more comprehensively.
- 19. Learning through Edtech 2 Topic: “Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning” This lesson teaches us to be aware with the use of different use of computer software including the Microsoft, power point and micro excel. As a future teacher we are given a chance to become an effective teacher someday we are being thought for a better teaching which is also helpful for both teacher and students.
- 20. Learning through Edtech 2 Topic: “Educational Technology in the Asia Pacific Region” This lesson awaken us that those other countries are really progressive when it comes with the development of computer, we know that even those elementary grades are already aware with the use of computer because of the fact that computer plays a vital role with our learning.
- 21. Learning through Edtech 2 Topic: “IT Enters a New Learning Environment” The four models of school learning is very helpful in the teaching learning process especially in integrating technology in it. Aside from that, knowing about this models and new approaches, the learning environment could be effective and conducive. Let us all know that there are better ways to learn other than rote learning or memorization and that learning is for use not only school but in real life. So, let us engage students in teaching-learning process by the use of different models and strategies.
- 22. Learning through Edtech 2 Topic: “Computer as Information and Communication Technology” We know that we are now in the 21st century and the computer is recognized as the third revolution of education. First is the printing press, second libraries and lastly the computer. The mere fact is Computer are helpful tool in gaining information but aside from that computer can be also a communication technology with the use of different programs such as yahoo, google, MSN we are able to communicate to our teachers, schoolmates, relatives through online. And it is also helpful in education, the educational media, which is used in communicating to audiences.
- 23. The Student after Edtech I applied some of the knowledge I have gained in this subject when I create presentations, because we all know that in creating good presentations in some software involves knowledge on how to use it properly.
- 24. The Student after Edtech As a future educator of 21st century learners, I believe that all the knowledge I have gain in educational technology subject will be apply in my future teaching. I will use these knowldege on how to use instructional technologies to ensure that my future students will not just learning but also enjoying.
