LESSON 1 : A REVIEW OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 1
The
Educational Technology 1 (ET-1) has
truly paved the way for the learner to become
aware, appreciate and equipped to use educational technology
tools ranging from traditional to modern educational media.
Truly,
the foundation for truly satisfying exposure to educational technology has been
firmly laid down by the ET-1 course, starting with the thorough treatment of
the history of educational technology, quality education, and the roles of ET
in the 21st millennium.
In
ET-1, the learner was also oriented towards averting the dangers of
dehumanization which technology brings into societies, through ideological
propaganda, pornography, financial fraud, and other exploitative use of
technology. Sad to say, these dangers continue to affect peoples and cultures
while widening the gap between rich and poor countries.
On
the application of educational technology to instruction, Educational
Technology 1 showed the 4 phases of application of educational technology in
teaching-and-learning, namely; (a) setting of learning objectives (b) designing
specific learning experiences (c) evaluating the effectiveness of the learning
experiences vis-à-vis the learning objectives, and (d) revision as needed of
the whole teaching-learning process, or elements of it, for further improvement
of future instructional activities.
Adding
to the technology sophistication of the learner, Educational Technology 1
fittingly refined the distinction between educational technology and other
concepts, such as instructional technology (which is the use of technology in
instruction, different from school management), educational media (or equipment
and materials, apart from the teacher himself), audiovisual aids (or learning
media to stir the senses for more effective learning).
