 If schools don't train
students to use and think
about digital tools in a
thoughtful way, where
else is it going to
happen?"
Educational Technology may be
considered as
The utilization of modern machines and gadgets in the field of
education to increase the rate of learning to develop the learners
interest for effective and productive learning by exerting its
influence on the teaching learning process through vicious and
progressive use. Educational technology plays various roles.
Form the traditional point of view, it serves as presenter of
knowledge just like teachers. It also serves as productivity tool.
With the internet, technology has facilitated communication
among people. From the constructivist’s perspective,
educational technology is a meaningful learning tools by serving
as a learning partner
 Historical Development of Educational Technology
The Elder Sophists (450-350 B.C.) used the term ‘techne’ to
refer to the process of applying knowledge in a systematic way to
the practical art of instruction.

Socrates (470-399B.C.) taught through question answer

methods.

In the 17th century Johann Comenius introduced textbooks for

children.

The first educational television station went on air in Houston,

Texas, in 1953.

In 1956 CCTV were established for instructional purposes.

Programmed instruction was developed in the works of

B.F.Skinner (1954)and N.A. Crowder(1960)

Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning
and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate
technological processes and resources.

ET is a value addition to quality, relevance,
appropriateness and other such attributes,
transforming education by making it dynamic
and responsive to the passions that move the
learners and arouse their curiosity and desire
to learn.

 TECHNOLOGICAL EXPLOSION, A DOUBLE-EDGED SWOR D

A very important factor impelling change has been the technological

explosion, particularly in the area of ICT(Information and
Communication Technologies). Such technologies are double-edged
swords. They allow people to contact one another and exchange ideas
very easily in order to create communities built around common
interests and common causes. They also make it possible for global
corporations to move billions of dollars around the world with the click of
a button.
 Technology in Education and Educational Technology
Technology is the modification of the natural environment to
satisfy perceived human wants and needs” (ITEA, 2000, p. 9).
This modification of the natural environment (nature) may be
characterized as “human innovation in action.” Technology
education is “a study of technology which provides an
opportunity for students to learn about the processes and
knowledge related to technology that are needed to solve
problems and extend human potential” (ITEA, 2000, p. 242).
Technology education is concerned with the broad spectrum
of technology, which encompasses, but is not limited to, such
areas as: design, making, problem solving, technological
systems, resources and materials, criteria and constraints,
processes, controls, optimization and trade-offs, invention,
and many other human topics dealing with human innovation.
Technology has both positive and negative effects on society, and
conversely, society impacts technology in many ways. impacts
Educational technology is sometimes referred to as instructional
technology or informational technology. A very careful analysis of
words and terms related to educational technology gives one a
better understanding of the differences between it and technology
education. Educational technology is concerned with technology in
education. It is involved in the use of technology as a “tool” to
enhance the teaching and learning process across all subject
areas. Educational technology is concerned about teaching and
learning with technology. In the International Society for
Technology in Education’s (ISTE) National Educational Technology
Standards for Students (NETS•S), the document states that these
standards describe, “...what students should know about
technology and be able to do with technology” (ISTE, 2000, p. XI).
TYPES OF EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY

Hardware Approach
Software Approach
HARDWARE

It refers to the application of Engineering principle or

technology useful in the process of teaching. It is also
termed as Hardware Approach to Education. Silverman
called this type of approach as ‘Relative Technology’.
This refers to borrow and apply technology, machines and
devices in the process of teaching and learning. THE
OHP, THE SLIDE PROJECTOR, THE FILM
PROJECTOR, RADIO, TELEVISION AND
COMPUTERS WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE
PURPOSE . It is for the group of students. It is quite
useful as it enhances the learners performance and
enhance interest in the subject and extends the teachers’
limits beyond time and space without increasing the cost
of instruction per pupil.
Software
It refers to the application of scientific
principles to instruction. It is concerned
with all aspects of designing the
instructional sequence and instructional
mode to go along with different hardware.
Programmed instruction falls into this class
of educational technology. Principles of
Psychology, Operant conditioning of
skinner led to the development of ET. The
emphasis is on scientific way of teaching.

 ROLES OF
EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY IN
LEARNING
Technology can play a traditional role, i.e. as
delivery vehicles for instructional lessons or in
a constructivist way as partners in the learning
process.
In a constructivist way technology helps the
learner build more personal interpretations of life
in her/his world. Technology is a learning tool to
learn with not from. It makes the learner gather,
think, analyze, synthesize information and
construct meaning with what technology presents.
 •Technology as tools to support knowledge
construction

1. For presenting learners’ ideas, understandings and

beliefs
2. For producing organized, multimedia knowledge
bases for learners

• Technology as information vehicles for

exploring knowledge to support learning-by-
constructing
1. For accessing needed information
2. For comparing perspectives, beliefs and world
views
•Technology as context to support learning by
doing
1. for representing and simulating meaningful
real-world problems, situations and contexts
2. for representing beliefs, perspectives,
arguments, and stories of others
• Technology as a social medium to support
learning by conversing
1. For collaborating with others
2. For discussing, arguing, and building
consensus among members of the community
3. For supporting discourse among knowledge
building communities
 •Technology as intellectual partner
1. For helping learners to articulate and represent what
they know
2. For reflecting on what they have learned and how
they come to know it
3. For supporting learners’ internal negotiations and
meaning making
4. For constructing personal representations of meaning
for supporting mindful thinking
Proper implementation of technology
in the classroom gives students more
“control of their own learning and
tends to move classrooms from
teacher-dominated environments to
ones that are more learner-centered
(Russel and Sorge, 1999)
Internet has started reshaping education.
Education will not be the same in the next
decade

There is no going back. The traditional

classroom
has to be transformed
Web-based Education Commission, US

Many universities/colleges may not survive

by the end of this decade

The future teachers will

not carry books but
computers
