What is technology?
Technology- the branch of knowledge that
deals with the creation and use of technical
means and their inter relation with life,
society, and the environment, drawing upon
such subjects as industrial arts,
engineering, applied science, and pure

The word "technology" originates from the
Greek word "tekhne" and its Latin equivalent
"ars," both of which refer to a skill or practical
process accompanied by scientific knowledge .
In ancient Greece, "techne" was associated
with skill in the arts .

print, audio, and visual media, such as
books, videos, audio, television, CDs,
DVDs, or short films, to hold your
students' attention and help them retain
information.
 Instructional Media are media which provide
messages with an instructional purpose.

2. Audio (previous voice, music, mechanical
sounds, noise, etc.)
3. Visual (diagrams on a poster, drawings on

 Learning

behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and
may involve synthesizing different types of
information.
• Learning is a continuous process of
acquiring new knowledge, competencies,
and skills. The human mind is always
curious and never hesitates to explore new
challenges and prospects.
Four types of Learning in Education
1. Visual learners are individuals who prefer to take in their
information visually—be that with maps, graphs, diagrams, charts,
and others.
2. Auditory learners are individuals who learn better when they take
in information in auditory form when it is heard or spoken.
3. Kinesthetic learners are individuals who prefer to learn by doing.
They enjoy a hands-on experience.
4. Reading/writing learners consume information best when it’s in
words, whether that’s by writing it down or reading it.
 Domains OF Learning
Benjamin Bloom has suggested three domains of
learning in his taxonomy which are:
