Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning through appropriate technological processes and resources. It involves analyzing problems, devising and implementing solutions related to human learning. Educational technology consists of designs and environments that engage learners through cognitive strategies and critical thinking skills. The goal is to facilitate the learning process using educational methods and technological resources. Technology integration uses learning technologies to reinforce and extend skills, as part of instructional technology.

11. Roles in Learning
• traditional: source and
presenter of knowledge
• constructivist: serve as
learning tools that learners learn
with
• either way, learning is present
when technology is used
effectively

12. Systematic Approach
to Teaching
• define objectives
• choose appropriate methods
• choose appropriate experiences
• select materials, equipment and
facilities
• assign personnel roles
• implement instruction
• evaluate outcomes
• refine the process
