A. TITLE/TOPIC: Lesson 2: EVALUATION OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND ITS

CURRENT APPLICATION: Classifications of Educational technology and
Applications

No. of hours: 3 hours Period: Prelims

B. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

a. Identify the classifications of Educational Technology

b. Names the benefits of educational technology in the classroom
c. Differentiate material technology from non-material technology

C. MOTIVATION:
If you hear the word technology today, what comes into your mind?

D. INTRODUCTON

Educational Technology has also its classification and applications. As

educators we need to learn about its classification for us to easily categorize the
materials which we are going to use in the classroom and what are its applications. We
will also learn in this topic the benefits of the educational technology to students and
teachers as well.

E. PRESENTATION OF THE CONTENT

If we hear the word technology today, we would immediately think of the

mediated instructional materials particularly those, which are computer-based.
But technology also includes the indigenous materials which have been used in
the past and which have been proven as reliable. It is just that they belong to
 the crude type of technology. Indeed, they have proven their worth especially
to the teachers in the early days. According to the Equilibrium Theory of
Education, the schools which are supposed to transmit accumulated knowledge
and skills to students must see to it that students are given a balance of the old
and new learning so that they will not lose track of the finest pedagogical culture
which have been developed and accumulated all through the years. Moreover,
at this point in time, not all schools are equipped with computer units and not all
teachers are retooled for the new technology are still in use. Below is the graphic
presentation to show the classification of educational technology.

F. STUDENT ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS (SAQ)/QUIZ

SAQ # 1: What are the two classifications of Educational technology? (4 points of class
standing)

SAQ # 2: What are the types of Material Technology? (4 points of class standing)
SAQ # 3: These materials were classified as mediated technology? (4 points of class
standing)

The material technology is divided into the traditional and the modern ones. The
traditional or low-tech instructional materials are the indigenous materials usually real
objects or those that are made of paper and cardboards. Pictures or photographs,
illustrations, drawings, cartoons, posters, graphs, charts, flash cards and maps done in
paper are examples of the lo-tech materials. Realia or real objects and their edited
versions like models and mock-ups, specimens and objects are also included as such.
Though they are traditional in nature, their merits as tolls for learning have been proven
in the decades that past. They are still here to stay because not all schools are
equipped with technology tools and not all teachers are ready to embrace modern
technology.

Hi-tech materials or the mediated technology include those, which are

presented using media equipment or hardware. This includes the educational
television, motion pictures, overhead projector (OHP), opaque projector, slide projector
and more importantly the computer and its peripherals like the LCD, printer and
scanner.

The most pervasive modern technology for teaching and learning in these
contemporary times is the computer and its various applications. In fact all educational
efforts are being geared towards its used.

The non-material educational technology on the other hand includes the

theories, laws, principles, methods and strategies of teaching. They evolved as results of
researches and studies in order to facilitate teaching and learning

SAQ #4: These are the materials which include the theories, laws, principles, methods
and principles of teaching. (3 points of class standing)

G. SUMMARY:
