Introduction:

The use of educational technologies in teaching and learning

presents pedagogical concerns and challenges to educators.
Combining multimedia technologies
with the Web has created new
possibilities for the development
of

instructional

materials

to

deliver course content. However,

this use of technology continues
to

represent

traditional

conceptions regarding the use of

computers. The question remains
as to when and how to use various forms of educational
technology and how to best integrate them into the classroom.
Using educational technology as a constructivist tool could aid
students to represent their ideas, articulate what they know,
and explore, manipulate, and process information, while actively
collaborating with each other (Jonassen, Peck, & Wilson,
1999).
