Educational technology refers to the use of technological tools and resources in education to improve the teaching and learning process. It involves optimizing learning through the application of scientific methods and new equipment. Key aspects of educational technology include clarifying objectives, organizing content logically, specifying the teaching and learning process, acquiring knowledge through models of teaching, providing feedback, and selecting, evaluating and optimizing media. The role of technology in education is to provide 24/7 access to information, enable constant social interaction and sharing of digital content, and integrate technology comprehensively to develop 21st century skills like creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and information management.

• Educational technology is a separate field
of dealing with the theory of Education
with development and application resources
which implies the following principles:
1. Clarifies educational objecctives.

order.
3. Specifies the process of teaching
learning process
4. Aquire the knowledge through
development of models of teaching.
5. Adjoining the teaching learning process
with feedback.
6. Selectio, evaluation and optimization of
media. {Educational Technology in Asia
under Apeid, 1995}

3. Educational Technology is
the development, application
and evaluation of systems, techniques
and aids to improve the process of human
learning. {Lucido and Borabo, 1997}
Educational Technology is a profession like
teaching. It is made up of organized effort to implement
the theory, intellectual technique, and practical application
of Educational Technology. {Johanssen, et.al, as cited by
Corpuz and Lucido}

Educational Technology
1.Instruction should
be Student-
centered
• Instead of passively
receiving information, the
students would gather
information on their own,
under the guidance of their

gives up all control of the
classroom
• Student will be much more motivated
to learn something that they can see
the value in.

for 24/7 access to
information
2.Constant social
interaction, and
3.Easily created and
shared digital
content

9. There is a call for action to integrate
technology as a fundamental building block
into education in three broad areas:
1. Use technology comprehensively to develop
proficiency in 21st century skills.
2. Use technology comprehensively to support
innovative teaching and learning.
3.Use technology comprehensively to create
robust education support system.
