Teaching with technology is a broad topic that includes the use of media tools integrated within Learning Management Systems (LMS) and/or those run more independently over the Internet. It also involves differing media types (i.e. social or dyadic) and functions (i.e. synchronous or asynchronous).
Instructional technology is the branch of education concerned with the scientific study of instructional design and development. The main purpose of instructional designers is to create engaging, effective learning experiences. There are a variety of models (e.g., ADDIE, Backward Design, ASSURE etc)
2. Teaching Technology
It is the systematic application of
scientific knowledge about teaching
learning and conditions of learning
to improve the efficiency of
teaching and learning .
It is the method and practice of
teaching especially as a academic
subject or theoretical concept.
3. Instructional Technology
It includes practical techniques of instructional
delivery that systematically aim for effective
learning ,whether or not they involve the use of
media.
It is the basic purpose of the field of instructional
technology to promote and aid the application of
these known and validated procedures in the
design and delivery of instruction.
4. Difference between in their Objectives
The objectives of teaching technology is to determine the
goals and formulate the objectives in behavioral terms ,to
organize the content in logical or psychological sequences
,to evaluate the learners performances in terms of
achieving educational objectives.
Whereas , the objectives of instructional technology is to
enhance education with technology existed for thousand
of years ,to simplify the complex education system (e.g.
technology to better explain complex ideas).
5. Difference between teaching technology
and instructional technology.
• Teaching Technology is the effective use of
technology tools in learning as a concept it
concerns an array of tools such as media ,machines
and networking hardware for their effective
application whereas Instructional Technology is the
branch of education concerned with the study of
instructional design.
• It embraces all areas of technology in any fields of
education while in instructional technology ,it
covers a narrow field dealing with all type of
teaching and learning.
6. • Teaching technology provides good content and audio- video aids to
understand the topic easily and get good marks in their academics on the
other hand constructional technology is defined as theory and practice of
design and evaluation processes for learning.
• Teaching technology main purpose is to determine the goals and formulate
the objectives in behavior terms whereas in instructional technology ,the
main purpose is to create engaging , effective learning experiences.
7. • The primarily goal of teaching
technology is to enhance the
knowledge of learner with the help of
technology whereas the primarily goal
of instructional technology is to
enhance the teaching and learning
process.
• Teaching technology provides opportunities for more learner – centered
instruction and allow students to explore ,make mistakes and learn from
their errors, while in other hand instructional technology gives instruction
that how we start an educational software ,how to make presentations
,how to make google forms etc.
8. • Teaching technology consist ,
good practice encourages
contacts between students and
faculty and good practice gives
prompt feedback whereas in
instructional technology there
is no need to give feedback
,instructions are in comments
follow by the students.
9. Examples of teaching technology are-
• Books in soft copies form.
• Google classroom activities.
• Online classes content.
• Channels related to education on you-tube and other websites.
Examples of instructional technology are-
• Registration forms link.
• Video/ google meet link.
• Training instructions.
• Instructions for how to make presentations and many more.
• Instructions given by the school ,colleges and governments etc.
