Educational technology is the use of technological tools and resources to facilitate learning. It engages learners through active, constructive, and collaborative learning experiences. Educational technology can serve as a source of knowledge, a learning tool, and an intellectual partner that supports knowledge construction, learning by doing, exploring information, conversing with others, and reflecting on the learning process. When used effectively, educational technology helps students learn in ways that are more engaging and relevant to 21st century learners.

For producing organized, multimedia
knowledge bases by learners.

12. For representing and simulating meaningful real-
world problems and
situations and contexts
For representing beliefs, perspectives,
arguments and stories of others
For defining a safe, controllable problem space
for student thinking
2. Technology as context to
support learning-by-doing:

13. 3. Technology as information
vehicles for exploring knowledge to
support learning-by-constructing:
For accessing needed information
For comparing perspectives, beliefs
and world views

14. 4.Technology as a social
medium to support learning by
conversing:
For collaborating with others
For discussing, arguing and building consensus
among members of a community

17. With Educational Technology, one could learn more
about computers – not only merely about computer
itself but with how this thing could be very useful in our
daily lives. It will serve as an eye opener and mind
booster on making things work more effectively.
Technology could be a very effective and convenient
tool in letting younger students gain and received the
ideas and knowledge we want to impart to them since
the younger generations today belong to the 21st
century learners. They are more engaged with the
modern life as well as the latest gadgets invented by
the experts. We should help them realize that these
valuable things are not just for fun but could also be a
great help in their learning and development.
