What+Is+Education+Technology

What is Educational Technology? a. In 2004 the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT), defined Educational Technology as the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources (  [|www.indiana.edu/~molpage/Definition%20of%20ET_classS05.pdf] __ ). __  The AECT is a professional association whose activities and goals are directed toward improving instruction through technology. It is actively involved in the designing of instruction and a systematic approach to learning. b. Educational Technology is a way of teaching. It is a belief in life-long, self-directed, and networked learning. It is also an innovative way to design, deliver, facilitate, and manage instruction for learners of all ages, whether it is face-to-face in a classroom, online, or a combination of method s. This definition comes from the website of the Department of Educational Technology at Boise State University. Boise State offers high quality Master’s Degrees in Educational Technology. Boise State’s “EDTECH is an NCATE  accredited program, aligned with  AECT  and  ISTE  standards. " says the NCATE Board of Examiners, March 2009.

The student lists are almost identical both discussing similar topics. In fact, both lists have the same six points to make. The updated version has just been rearranged and added to. All six topics have been reworded and clarified somewhat. The updated student topics include: 1)Creativity and Innovation, 2)Communication and Collaboration, 3)Research and Information Fluency, 4)Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making, 5)Digital Citizenship, & 6)Technology Operations and Concepts. They may have been rearranged and listed in order of importance, but that hasn’t been indicated. The original descriptions were very general and the new standards reflect more in-depth concerns. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Next the ISTE included a list of standards geared primarily towards the teachers utilizing technology. The new list for teachers mirrors the list for students where the teacher is expected to facilitate for what they students are supposed to be learning. In other words the teacher’s standards are in place to insure the teachers are teaching the students what they need to know to meet the student standards. Therefore many of the teacher standards are the same as the student standards because to teach something one has to understand it. Both teacher lists include that the teacher needs to understand and convey the issues that correspond with technology. However the older list seems to focus primarily on how the teacher should use technology in the classroom for his/her own benefit. In the newer list the standards focus on the teacher using technology in the classroom to benefit the students and to further their knowledge of technology and its uses. This can be seen in the newer list when the standard encourage the teacher to model proper behavior rather than just letting the students figure it out on their own. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;">3. ** **__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Communication model __** __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">– Define and explain the communication model. Also explain how technology fits in to that model in an educational setting. Which learning styles fit into the communication model? __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">In the communication model there is always a sender and an intended receiver. Each party has their own world that is formed by their own unique experiences and so they will read and decode things in different ways. With this in mind, the two will have something in common for communication to take place. This is called the shared space. The shared space is where the sending and receiving takes place. There is usually more then one type of communication going on when two people are speaking. There is verbal communication when two people are talking, and body language or non-verbal communication. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> In an educational setting communication is essential. If lines of communication aren’t crisp and clear, learning does not take place. Technology enhances communication with tools like email and Moodle to help parents and students stay current on homework and other class or school activities. Smart Boards are another neat piece of technology in classrooms today. The teacher’s computer screen is projected on to the Smart Board. The class can then use it as the interactive computer screen. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Technology is an ever growing tool in our schools because it tends to appeal to all three learning styles – visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.
