Educational technology is the study and practice of using technology to improve learning and performance. It relies on a broad definition of technology that includes not just machines but also systems, methods, and techniques. The technology of education can be defined as tools that advance student learning and influence behavior. The field of technology education teaches students about technological processes and principles. The history of educational technology began with early tools like cave paintings but is often traced to educational films in the 1900s and mechanical teaching machines in the 1920s. There has long been a belief that new technologies could solve all learning problems, though predictions of books becoming obsolete, for example, did not come true.

2. What is Educational
technology???
Educational technology is the study
and ethical practice of facilitating
learning and improving performance
by creating, using and managing
appropriate technological processes
and resources.. Educational
Technology relies on a broad
definition of the word "technology."
Technology can refer to material
objects of use to humanity, such as
machines or hardware, but it can also
encompass broader themes, including
systems, methods of organization,
and techniques

3. What is technology
of education???
Technology of education is most
simply and comfortably defined as an
array of tools that might prove helpful
in advancing student learning and
may be measured in how and why
individuals behave.
The field that studies technology,
teaches students about the processes
involved with technology and the
knowledge behind it is called
technology education.

4. History
Educational technology in a way could
be traced back to the emergence of
very early tools, e.g., paintings on
cave walls. But usually its history
starts with educational film (1900s) or
Sidney Pressey's mechanical teaching
machines in the 1920s.
The first large scale usage of new
technologies can be traced to US
WWII training of soldiers through
training films and other mediated
materials.

5. latest development
During the 20th Century, there was a
recurrent pattern of expectations and
outcomes (Cuban, 1986). It has been
a common belief that advances in
technology could solve all of the
problems in learning. Thomas Edison
said in 1913 that “books will soon be
obsolete in schools…” (Reiser, 1987).
This prediction has not become a
reality. When a new medium entered
the educational scene, there was
much initial enthusiasm and interest
which eventually faded.

6. latest development
thank you for imparting your
knowledge about computers sir, we
are lucky enough to be your student
in edtech 2. Sorry if we pass this
project late because there is a
unexpected circumstance. We felt so
sorry sir jay!!
Thank you and we will miss you. We
hope that we will be on your advisory
in the next semester.
GOdbless!!!
