Educational technology pertains to the use of educational theories and physical hardware to facilitate learning. It encompasses 1) approaches to learning, 2) technological tools for communicating knowledge, 3) learning management systems, and 4) educational subjects like information technology. Educational technology helps set objectives, develop curricula, improve teaching and learning processes through various strategies and materials, and provides feedback for improvements. Its scope is expansive to allow for future discoveries and innovations.

3. IMPROVEMENT OF TEACHING AND
LEARNING PROCESSS
Educational technology is open to current research findings and
development that will enrich the application of teaching
approaches and methodologies in the teaching and learning
process.

7. 4. ENHANCEMENT OF
TEACHING AND LEARNING
STRATEGIES
A strategy plays an important role in
the creative hands of a teacher in
every learning situation. The
selection of appropriate strategy and
tactics in using educational
technology should be carefully
carried out for optimum results.-Educational Technology-7

8. 5. DEVELOPMENT OF THE
TEACHING AND LEARNING
MATERIALS
The educational materials used by the
teacher are as important as any part of
the teaching and learning process. In this
age of technological advancement,
appropriate teaching aids should be
carefully chosen to augment the quality of
education.-Educational Technology-8

9. 6. PROPER USE OF
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
Educational technology elaborates these resources in
terms of their specific functions, solutions, proper
handling, maintenance, and evaluates its effectiveness
in the teaching and learning process.

10. 7. PROVIDES FEEDBACK
Educational Technology provides feedback to
the teachers and learners for the necessary
improvements at the preparatory and the
implementation stages in using these
instructional materials. For these purposes,
Edtech elaborates the ways and means of
choosing appropriate evaluation techniques and
selection of materials in attaining the learning
outcomes.-Educational Technology-10

The scope of Educational
Technology should not be
confined to the limited
boundaries, but it should be
left free for the necessary
expansion, discoveries and
innovation of the new
generation.
