The document discusses the role of educational technology in 21st century education. It outlines that instruction should be student-centered, education should be collaborative, and learning must have context. Educational technology can [1] improve teaching and learning, [2] analyze and enhance the teaching-learning process, and [3] create robust education support systems to prepare students with 21st century skills.

2. The term 21st
century has become the central part of
the educational thinking and planning for the future.
Administrators and teachers are actively searching for
ways to prepare the students for the future, and the
educational system has been evolving faster than ever
before.
The impact of technology is to develop proficiency in
21st
century skills, support innovative teaching and
learning and create robust education support system.

3. prepare the students to become active, successful, and
contributing members of society.
 Society has change, we cannot adequately prepare
students for the society that will exist today or will exist
tomorrow, If we continue to prepare them for the
society that existed yesterday.

4. Important Roles of educational technology
• Instruction Should be Student-Centered
• Education Should be Collaborative
• Learning should have Context

5. [1.]Instruction should be STUDENT-CENTERED
Known as learner-centered education, broadly
encompasses methods of teaching that shift the focus of
instruction from the teacher to the student.
Focuses on skills and practices that enable lifelong
learning and independent problem-solving.
Theory and practice are based on the constructivist
learning theory that emphasizes the learner's critical
role in constructing meaning from new information and
prior experience.

6. • Students choose what they will learn, how they will
learn, and how they will assess their own learning.
Open-ended problem solving requiring critical and
creative thinking
Role-playing and participation in simulated situations
Non-traditional writing assignments
Collaborative team projects
Individual, self-paced assignments
 Community engagement and Service-Learning
assignments

7. [SCI]-student- centered instruction
"increased motivation to learn, greater retention of
knowledge, deeper understanding, and more positive
attitudes toward the subject being taught’’.

8. [2.] Education should be COLLABORATIVE
Collaborative learning is an educational approach to
teaching and learning that involves groups of students
working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or
create a product.
Students should be en courage to work together to
discover information, piece it together, and construct
meaning.
It should be dynamic and the students should learn how
to recognize the different strengths and talents each
person can bring to a project and change roles depending
on those attributes.

9. [3.] Learning Should have Context
Learning facts and knowledge about a content area
topic is an important prerequisite to understanding that
topic and then developing expertise.
The context becomes the glue to increase the stickiness,
the longevity of long term memory of those facts. This is
especially true for abstract concepts. These concepts
need something concrete with which to attach.
The students will be much more motivated to learn
something that they can see the value in.

10. Three Fundamental Building Block into EDUCATION
[1.] Use technology Comprehensively to develop Proficiency
 In 21st
century skills.
-people use their knowledge to
COMMUNICATE,COLLABORATE,
ANALYZE,CREATE,INNOVATE & SOLVE PROBLEMS.
[2.] Use Technology Comprehensively to Support Innovative
TEACHING & LEARNING
-Apply knowledge and skills in meaningful way.
[3.] Use technology Comprehensively to Create Robust
Education Support System.
-Transform standards & assessment.

11. Important function of educational technology
•Improvement of teaching
•Analysis of the teaching-Learning Process
•Improvement of Learning
•Enhancing goals of education
•Training to teachers
•Development of curriculum
•Development of Teaching-Learning Materials
•Teaching Learning Strategies
•Development of Audio-Visual aid
•Help in overall Improvement
•Identification of Needs of the Community

12. [1.] Improvement of Teaching
Education technology analyses the process of teaching
thoroughly.
Developing the theories of teaching, it helps in
improving the quality of education.
 The different variable of teaching
 =their interlinks
 =effects upon each other
 =relationship
 =theories of teaching

13. [2.] Analysis of Teaching
Learning Process
Education technology aims at analyzing the
process of teaching learning thoroughly
Find out the different variables of teaching their
interlinks effects upon each other and
relationship.
Establish better relationship between teaching and
learning.

14. [3.] Improvement of learning
Analyses the process of learning and its related
theories.
Facilitate more and more learning in less time.
Help various empirically established
generalization from psychology, sociology, physical
science, and engineering.

15. [4.] Enhancing Goals of
Education
The objectives of education are being revived and
revised by the passage of time.
Everything undergoing tremendous changes and
with a very fast speed.
Technology helps enhancing the right objectives in
the light of the changed circumstances and
environment.

16. [5.] Training to Teachers
The change type of environment with new
curriculum and new materials is to be
handled by the teacher.
Right type of the training to the teachers is
the need of the hour.

17. [6.] Development of Curriculum
View the objectives of education in developing
right type of curriculum.
Curriculum is the total teaching learning
environment.
Developing a suitable curriculum appropriately.

18. [7.] Development of Teaching
Learning Process.
One of the most important in teaching
learning process.
Have to be accordance with the environment
of the learners.
Everything in the society including values of
life needs to be reflective of the materials


19. [8.] Teaching Learning Strategies
Strategy has to be right one, which should be
according to the materials and the
effectiveness on it.
Different strategies are being evolved
through technology.

20. [9.]Development of
Audio-Visual Aid
Played an important role in the teaching learning
process.
Used according to the times.
Software, hardware, computer, other appliances
and equipment.
Computer assisted instruction will help the
learners to develop their skills.

21. [10.] Help in Overall
Improvements
Helps in locating the problems in the
different areas of education.
Evaluation of the teaching learning process
do made better through feedback of the
people.
Revolutionalize the whole process of the
teaching learning.

22. [11.] Identification of
Needs of the Community
Educational technology identifies the needs of
the community.
Providing equal education opportunities in
