Educational technology is the use of both physical hardware, software, and educational theoretic to facilitate learning and improve performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources.

1. Educational Technology

2. The term “21st
century” has become the
central part of education thinking and
planning for the future. Administrators
and Teachers are actively searching for
ways to prepare students for the future,
and the educational system has been
evolving faster than ever before.
Creating a 21st
century education system
is about making sure that all students
are prepared to succeed in a
competitive world.

4. What is Educational Technology
mean?
Educational technology is the effective use
of technological tools in learning. As a
concept, it concerns an array of tools, such as
media, machines and networking hardware, as
well as considering underlying theoretical
perspectives for their effective application.

5. As an academic discipline, the study of
educational technology prepares individuals
by helping them acquire a deeper
understanding and mastery of: learning
resources: messages, people, materials,
devices, techniques and settings;

6. • processes for analyzing and devising
solutions to those problems through
research, theory, design, production,
evaluation, utilization;
• the processes involved in organization
and personnel management.
• The focus is on effective processes to
facilitate learning using technologies and
understanding the impacts of technology
on learners and organizations

8. Roles and Functions of Educational
Technology in 21st
century education

9. INSTRUCTION SHOULD
BE STUDENT-
CENTEREDThe days of lecturing teachers has passed-
though not entirely. While student-centered
learning is strongly encourage in the 21st
century, this does not mean that the teacher can
never give lecture again.
Education is no longer about listening to the
teacher talk and absorbing the information. In
order to contribute to society, students will need
to connect the new information with the
knowledge they already have and apply it to
solving the problem at hand.

10. Instead of passively receiving information, the
students would gather information on their
own, under the guidance of their teacher.
Different learning styles are encouraged, and
students have an enhanced sense of
motivation and responsibility.
They engage in many different types of
hands-on activities, as well as demonstrate
learning in many different ways. Learning is
about discovery, not the memorization of
facts.

12. EDUCATION SHOULD
BE COLLABORATIVE
Students must learn how to collaborate with
others. Society today has people collaborating
across the globe. How can students be
expected to work with people from other
cultures, with different values from their own, if
they are not able to work with the people they
see each day in their classroom?
Students should be encouraged to work
together to discover information, piece it
together, and construct meaning

14. LEARNING SHOULD HAVE
CONTEXT
Student-centered does not mean that the
teacher give up all control of the classroom.
While students are encourage to learn in
different ways, the teacher still provides
guidance as to the skills that need to be
acquired.
The teacher can make a point of helping
students to understand how the skills they
are building can be applied in their lives.

15. The role of technology in
21st
century learning:
1.Technology allows for 24/7
access to information.
2.Constant social interaction and,
3. Easily created and shared digital
content

16. There is a call for action to integrate technology as a
fundamental building block into education in three
broad areas:

17. Use technology comprehensively to develop
proficiency in 21st
century skills.
Even if all students mastered core academic
subjects, they still would be woefully underprepared
to succeed in postsecondary institutions and
workplaces, which increasely value people who can
use their knowledge to communicate, collaborate,
analyze, create, innovate, and solve problems.
Used comprehensively, technology helps students
develop 21st
century skills.

18. Use technology comprehensively to support
innovative teaching and learning
To keep paace with a changing world, schools need
to offer more rigorous, relevant and engaging
opportunities for students to learn and apply their
knowledge and skills in meaningful ways.
Use comprehensively, technology supports new,
research-based approaches and promising practices
in teaching and learning.

19. Use technology comprehensively to create robust
education support systems.
To be effective in schools and classrooms, teachers
and administrators need training, tools and
proficiency in 21st
century skills themselves.
Used comprehensively, technology transforms
standards and assessments, curriculum and
instruction, professional development, learning
environments, and administration.

20. IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATIONAL

and is able to bring about effective teaching
learning. The different strategies are being
evolved by educational technology. The
knowledge of those strategies is a must for
every teacher.

29. DEVELOPMENT OF AUDIO-VISUAL
AIDS
Audio-Visual aids have always played an
important role in thr teaching-learning
process. They need to used according to the
times. The software aids , the hardware aids,
the computer and other such appliances,
equipment etc.,have” to be used in the
present type of teaching-learning
environment.

30. HELP IN OVERALL IMPROVEMENT
Educational technology helps in locating the
problems in the different areas of educatioan.
It also helps in remedying the draw-backs.
Evaluation of the teaching-learning process is
also made better because through feedback,
things are improved thoroughly and there is
better control over the process of education.
Thus, education technology can revolutionize
the whole process of teaching-learning.
