This document discusses educational technology, defining it as the process of applying tools for educational purposes, rather than a specific product. It explores the history and evolution of educational technology from its roots in audiovisual communications and instructional systems to its current emphasis on computers and computer-based systems. Key aspects of computer systems like hardware, software, operating systems, and networking are described. The document outlines current applications of educational technology including instructional software, interactive materials, distance learning, and productivity and instructional tools for both teachers and students.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology to StudentsMhister Laagan
It is important for the students to learn and understand both the disadvantages and advantages of technology since it becomes a part of their daily life. Similarly, technology use must not be excessive. In fact extreme technological use in students can cause all sorts of problems; socially and physically so it is important for the students to understand that yes, technology is an amazing thing; but at the same time, it should not be used all of the time. They should not be overly dependent on it.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. “Technology is commonly
thought of in terms of gadgets,
instrument, machines, and
devices….most (educators) will
defer to technology as
computers”
-- Muffoletto(1994)-p.5 Integrating Education
Technology into Teaching (IETIT)
5. “Only about a decade ago, a
history of technology in
education since 1920 placed the
emphasis on radio and
television, with computers as
an afterthought .”
--Cuban, 1986 (IETIT) p.5
6. However, Saettler (1990) urges
“The historical function of
educational technology is a
process rather than a product.”
7. Any useful definition of
educational technology, therefore,
must focus on the process of
applying tools for educational
purposes, and the materials used.
8. In education, the combination of
process and product merges
instructional procedures with
instructional tools.
10. Audiovisual movement: ways of
delivering information that could be

16. Instructional and supportive
applications of computers.
Computers began to be used in
classrooms in 1960s until 1990
and was known as educational
computing.
By the mid-1990s, educational
computing became known as
educational technology.
ISTE (International Society for
Technology in Education) holds the
following views:
18. An emphasis on Computer
Systems
Computers as media are becoming
more complex and more capable.
Computer systems are subsuming
other forms of media.
The perceived complexity of
computer-based systems has made it
more difficult for educators to
effectively integrate software and
computer media into classrooms.
