- 5. History of Education Technology 1946 - First vacuum tube-based computers developed; universities help in computer development effort; technology used in war effort. 1960 – PLATO (programmed logic for automatic teaching operations), the first computer – assisted – instruction (CAI) system, is initiated at the University of Illinois. It profundly influences computer – based education systems throughout the world. 1965 -. mainframes and minicomputers are put into place in some schools, but most are used for administration. 1970 – Texas instruments develops the first hand – held electronic calculator.
- 6. 1969 – The children’s program Sesame Street debuts on the National Educational Television network and soon becomes an international hit. 1970 – ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet, goes online. Engelbart invents the mouse, hypertext and groupware. 1971 - Intel's first microprocessor developed. 1974 – The first affordable personal computer is featured on the cover of the magazine Popular Electronics. 1977 – Japan Victor Company (JVC) introduces the VHS format video cassette recorder. 1983 – Compact Disc (CD-ROM – invented by James T. Russell in the late 1960s -) technology is introduced in the United States
- 7. 1990 - Multimedia PCs are developed. 1994 - Digital video, virtual reality, and 3-D systems capture the attention of many, but fewer multimedia PCs than basic business PCs are sold. 1995 - The Internet and the world wide web began to catch on as businesses, schools, and individuals create web pages. 1996 – Dvds allow storage of larger amounts of digital data. 1997-2007 - The growth of the internet expands far faster than most predicted. It soon becomes the world's largest database of information, graphics, and streaming video making it an invaluable resource for educators.
- 8. Search engines such as Google and Yahoo constantly develop new ways to find information within the ever-growing number of web pages. Web sites that offer individuals a place to put personal information become popular, as does internet-based publishing and discussion forums. Voice recognition slowly enters the computing mainstream. Some computers incorporate TV input. Larger computer storage capacity and the growing prevalence of CD- ROM and DVD drives in personal computers make it easier for educators to store larger files for educational applications.
- 9. Theory Behaviorism B.F. Skinner said: The Technology of Teaching” attempts to contemporary Education. Cognitivism The Cognitive concepts of working memory (formerly known as short term memory) and long term memory have been facilitated by research and technology from the field of Computer Science.. Constructivism This form of constructivism has a primary focus on how learners construct their own meaning from new information.
- 10. Practice: • Synchronous Synchronous learning refers to the exchange of ideas and information with one or more participants during the same period. • Asynchronous Asynchronous learning may use technologies such as email, blogs, wikis, and discussion boards, as well as web- supported textbooks,hypertext documents, audiovideo courses, and social networking using web 2.0. At the professional educational level, training may include virtual operating rooms.
- 11. The linear learner learns best when information is presented in a well-organized, structured, and logically sequenced manner. Linear learning Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together Collaborative learning
- 12. Classroom 2.0 refers to online multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) that connect schools across geographical frontiers. Classroom 2.0 E-learning 2.0 E-learning 2.0 is a type of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) system that developed with the emergence of Web 2.0.
- 13. Media Educational media and tools can be used for: • task structuring support: help with how to do a task. • access to knowledge bases (help user find information needed). • alternate forms of knowledge representation (multiple representations of knowledge, e.g. video, audio, text, image, data).
- 14. Audio and video Radio offers synchronous educational vehicle, while streaming audio over the internet with webcasts and podcasts can be asynchronous. Video technologyhas 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.
- 15. 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 feedback.Mobile learning can provide performance support for checking the time, setting reminders, retrieving worksheets, and instruction manuals Computers, tablets and mobile devices
- 16. Group webpages, blogs, and wikis allow learners and educators to post thoughts, ideas, and comments on a website in an interactive learning environment. Social networks Webcams and webcasting have enabled creation of virtual classrooms and virtual learning environment.[ Webcams Interactive whiteboards and smart boards 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. Whiteboards
- 17. Screencasting is when you record a video of your computer screen, oftentimes for teaching or sharing ideas. Screencasting Virtual classroom A virtual classroom is a teaching and learning environment where participants can interact, communicate, view and discuss presentations, and engage with learning resources while working in groups, all in an online setting.
- 18. Learning management system A learning management system(LMS) is software used for delivering, tracking and managing training and education. Computer-aided assessment
