Educational technology refers to the use of technology tools to enhance learning. Several Asia Pacific countries have implemented policies promoting educational technology in schools. These include New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Technologies can be used to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend teaching skills. They provide opportunities to address instructional issues and expose students to state-of-the-art practices. Technologies also help develop 21st century skills and allow for higher-order thinking through projects. Computers specifically help with communication, interaction and message-building while supporting student-centered learning. The internet is also an important classroom and study tool for students. Educational technology helps promote learning as well as teaching when used as a tool rather than just content.
