2. Educational Technology-(also known as “EdTech”) refers to an
area of technology devoted to the development and application of
tools (including software, hardware, and processes) intended to
promote education.
Put another way, “EdTech is a study and ethical practice for
facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using
and managing appropriate technological processes and resources.”
Although this developing field may sound like a specialized niche,
its potential implications are far-reaching and affect many segments
of the population. Read on to find out if you’re among those most
likely to benefit from the advancement of EdTech, and how you can
contribute to its growth.

3.  Online collaboration tools, such as those in Google Apps, allows students and instructors to
share documents online, edit them in real time and project them on a screen. This gives students
a collaborative platform in which to brainstorm ideas and document their work using text and
images.
 Preshow can technology help you?
 negation software (such as PowerPoint) enable instructors to embed high-resolution
photographs, diagrams, videos and sound files to augment text and verbal lecture content.
 Tablets can be linked to computers, projectors and the cloud so that students and instructors can
communicate through text, drawings and diagrams.
 Course management tools such as Canvas allow instructors to organize all the resources
students need for a class (e.g. syllabi, assignments, readings, online quizzes), provide valuable
grading tools, and create spaces for discussion, document sharing, and video and audio
commentary. All courses are automatically given a Canvas site!
 Clickers and smart phones are a quick and easy way to survey students during class. This is
great for instant polling, which can quickly assess students’ understanding and help instructors
adjust pace and content.
 Lecture-capture tools, such as Panopto, allow instructors to record lectures directly from their
computer, without elaborate or additional classroom equipment. Consider recording your lectures
as you give them and then uploading them for students to re-watch. Studies show that posting
recorded lectures does not diminish attendance and students really appreciate the opportunity to
review lectures at their own pace.

11. Six Pedagogical Advancing Anchor to attain
Real and Sustainable Technological
Advancement
1. Teachers are freed of routine and mundane administrative tasks
such as grading and organizing data in a way that can be quickly
used
2. Students are asked to reflect on their own work as well as the
work of fellow students
3. Students are asked to work alone and to collaborate with fellow
students
4. Teachers are able view summaries of learning as well as specific
aspect of possible problem areas
5. Students and teachers are able to articulate learning through
examinations of both declarative and procedural knowledge •
Students are presented with problem set similar to future testing
efforts; and
6. The platform is web or cloud-based making access in the new
digital divide based only on connectivity

12. OVERVIEW;
Educational Technology In the 21ST Century
Students must have rich and ample opportunities to use modern
technology for important purposes in schools, outside of classroom
walls and beyond the school day, just as individuals in high-
performance workplaces and other real-life settings do. Technology
enables people to communicate, learn, share, collaborate and create,
to think and solve problems, to manage their work, to take ownership
of their lives.
Technology can be a means to access content on any topic, a tool for
thinking and creating, a connection to peers and experts, and a
window into other cultures. Multimedia content can make the
curriculum come alive and allow teachers and students to explore
content deeply—or in brief, accessible chunks. State-of-the-art
scientific instruments can support students’ understanding of science,
technology, engineering and math content—and help them master
the critical thinking skills of these disciplines. Online, collaborative
projects with peers or experts in other states or countries can expose
them to different cultures and perspectives.
