The document discusses the role of educational technology in the 21st century. It outlines three current trends: 1) a shift towards more student-centered learning approaches, 2) teaching higher cognitive and non-cognitive skills, and 3) the spread of new information technology. The document also discusses how technology provides more flexible learning resources and connections to educators outside the classroom. Technology allows for personalized and differentiated learning experiences. Connected teaching offers opportunities to personalize learning through online simulations. All teacher education programs should provide technology-supported learning to improve instruction.

2. THE ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
IN THE 21 ST CENTURY
• While it is difficult to make precise
predictions, it is quite likely that technology
we are totally unaware today may be
developed in the years following the turn of
the century. It may also be technology that
totally changes the way we think about the
world and the opportunities for the delivery
of effective and efficient education.

3. Three Current Trends

4. Student-Centered Learning Education
• The shift to a more student- centered approach to
learning will accelerate in the incoming years.
Educators should ensure that the implementation of
new educational technology is carefully thought
through, so as to enrich the learning process.
• The move towards more student-centered
techniques will still not replace completely the
teacher institution- centered approach but there will
be a slow but there will be a slow and steady
increase in the use of student-centered learning
within the traditional system.

5. Student-Centered Learning Education
• Over the last decade education has
increasing become a lifetime experience and
many people find that they have to continue
studying, in order to gain extra qualification
and expertise that they need to survive in
inreasingly technical and computer-based
society.

6. Teaching Higher Cognitive and Non- cognitive Skills

7. Teaching Higher Cognitive and Non- cognitive Skills

8. The Spread of New Information
Technology
• Information technology in all its various
forms and manifestations is making an
increasing impact on education as years go
by.
• The current trend will speed up rapidly.
• Aiding this spread of the use of computer is
the availability of cheap micro-computers.
And the universal use of the information
technology of the printing press

9. • Educational transformation is coming not
because of the increasing ineffectiveness of
schools in meeting society’s needs – though
that is certainly a good reason – but due to
their growing unaffordability. We now see
student-teacher ratios in some urban settings
climbing to unworkable levels of 40 plus,
even 60 pupils per class (Dolan, 2011; Dillon,
2011).

10. The 2010 U.S. National Educational Technology Plan
(U.S. Department of Education, 2010) provides
some important ideas on the impact of these
advances in learning technologies, sketching both
opportunities and challenges
Learning
• Learning can no longer be confined to the
years we spend in school or the hours we
spend in the classroom: It must be life-long,
life-wide, and available on demand.

11. •Technology provides access to a much wider and
more flexible set of learning resources than is
available in classrooms and connections to a wider
and more flexible set of “educators,” including
teachers, parents, experts, and mentors outside the
classroom.
•Engaging and effective learning experiences can be
individualized or differentiated for particular learners
(either paced or tailored to fit their learning needs)
or personalized, which combines paced and tailored
learning with flexibility in content or theme designed
to fit the interests and prior experience of each
learner.

12. Teaching
• Connected teaching offers a vast array of
opportunities to personalize learning. Many
simulations and models for use in science,
history, and other subject areas are now
available online, including immersive virtual
and augmented reality environments that
encourage students to explore and make
meaning in complex simulated situations
(Dede 2009)

13. Teaching
• All institutions involved in preparing
educators should provide technology-
supported learning experiences that promote
and enable the use of technology to improve
learning, assessment, and instructional
practices.
