BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE CLASSROOM THROUGH EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

Educational technology is the digital technology used to facilate learning.sample

is what we are doing right now, online learning

Educational TECHNOLOGY is the study and Ethical practice of facilitating learning

and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological
process and resources.

in school Ed Tech is the use of technology and Tech Processes to facilitate

learning and improve performance

Techers can bring the world to the class thru television, dvds and newspaper, for
example checking the headlines in the news paper every can make the students aware
that there are issues and concern worldwide that is similar to have in our country
Internet can also connect us around the world thru the use of social media

. Technology provides support to the solution of meaningful problems.

Some problems brought to the classrooms can be simulated and created with graphics,
video and animation.

Students is more interested in a multimedia format in the form of sound and moving
images. Students can review stories on an interactive video many times or a picture
to study them. internet allows student to search easily parts that interest them
simulation or exploratory

Technology acts as cognitive support

The use of technology acts as a cognitive support it assumes interaction with

others who are knowledagbele, who can coach model guide and give reminders in the
accopmlisnemnt of various task
multi media databases and cd roms or the internet provide important information
source for students who are doing research, electronic refereces are easy to search
and they provide information very quickly
Technology can help learners visualize processes and relationship that are
invisible or difficult to understand student may create chart, map and other
graphic represenatations which they can generate thru simulation

Technology promotes collaboration as well as independent learning

interconnectedness support colaboration technology povide avenues for discussion

and communication among learners, student can send and receive information.
communiction services are rapidly becoming to schools. A two way video or audio
allow students and teachers to see and hear from each other, face to face
interaction can place over great distances in real time through online learning.

Technology Program for teachers

These are the technology program that can be used to assist teachers to be
innovative in teaching. These are the following

Stand-alone Programs

Computer programs that can work offline, i.e. does not necessarily require network
connection to function

A portable application, which can be run without the need for installation
procedure
The knowledge integration environment: Helping students use the internet
effectively

Programs Available on the Internet

There are several programs which are available on the

Internet from where the school can choose a site.

The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program is
a worldwide hands-on, science and education program focusing on the environment It
works to promote the teaching and learning of science, enhance environmental
literacy and stewardship, and promote scientific discovery. Students and teachers
collect data and perform research in collaboration with scientists from numerous
international agencies, and their work is made accessible through the GLOBE
website.

Students prepare themselves to a “virtual electronic field trips” through a live

interactive broadcast from the expedition site. “Electronic field trips” have
an advantage over a video because they occur in real time.

The electronic field trip is a field trip that students and teachers take via the
Internet, using their computers and modems to access up-to-the-minute information
right from the classroom about places such as museums, cities or countries, or
local businesses.

Virtual field trips allow learners to engage with and to learn about authentic
artifacts and to explore places important to their discipline of study and
consistent with their individual learning needs.
