The document provides an introduction to educational technology, defining it as the study and practice of facilitating learning through appropriate technological processes and resources. It discusses the history of technology in education from educational films and programmed instruction to modern learning management systems and learning analytics. Examples are given of educational technology projects at Tallinn University focusing on areas like coaching environments, interactive playdesks, and online learning platforms.
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 theoretical perspectives for their effective application.

According to the Association for Educational Communication and Technology (AECT, 2008) it is possible to define educational technology as “the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources” (Richey et al. 2008).
Engineers, technicians, and technologists:
technology as a tool for material construction based
on a systematic engineering knowledge of how to
design artifacts
Social scientists:
technology as a process for material construction
based on the organization of knowledge for the
achievement of practical purposes and also based
on any tool or technique of doing or making by
which capacity is extended (Luppicini 2005).

LESSON 1
Meaning of Educational Technology
What is Technology?
The word “ Technology” comes from the greek word “techne” which means craft or art.
A technology is not just a machines. It is a “planned systematic method working to achieved planned outcomes – a process not a product.
Refers to any valid and reliable process of procedure that is derived from basic research using scientific method.
Refers to all the way of people use their inventions and discoveries to satisfy their needs and desires.
What is Educational Technology?
Based from In the Definition of Educational Technology
Educational Technology is “a complex, integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas devices and organization for analyzing problems and devising, implementing, evaluating and managing solutions to those problems, involved in all aspects of human learning.”
Based from David H. Jonassen
Educational Technology is “Consist of the designs and environment that engage learners… and reliable technique or method for engaging learning strategies and critical thinking skills.”
It is a theory about how problems in human learning are identified and solved.
Is a field involved in applying a complex, integrated process to analyze and solve problems in human learning.
Is a profession like teaching. It is made up of organized effort to implement the theory, intellectual technique and practical application of educational technology
Based from Lucido and Borabo
Educational Technology is a field study which is concerned with the practice or using educational methods and resources for ultimate goal of facilitating of the learning process.
Other terms that are associated with Educational Technology
1. Technology in Education
“The application of technology to any of those processes involved in operating the institutions in which house the educational enterprise. It includes the application of technology to food, health, finance, scheduling, grade, reporting and other processes which support education within institutions”
2. Instructional technology
“Refers to those aspects of educational technology that “are concerned with instruction as contrasted to designs and operations of educational institutions.”
3. Technology integration in education books, educational media.
“Means learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend skills.”
“Technology is a part and parcel of instructional technology, which in turn is a part of educational technology.”

Educational technology is a field of study that investigates the process of analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating the instructional environment and learning materials in order to improve teaching and learning. It is important to keep in mind that the purpose of educational technology (also referred to as instructional technology) is to improve education. We must define the goals and needs of education first and then we use all our knowledge, including technology, to design the most effective learning environment for students.
Today is the age of technology, everywhere the technology is dominating and making surprising results. Then why not in education; this field requires technology to be used and implemented because 21st centuries learner is familiar with it and appreciate it for learning process.

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
