Educational technology is the application of technology to enhance instruction and extend human capabilities. It is a broad and evolving concept that includes any devices used to communicate information, from chalk and blackboards to modern electronic devices. Educational technology encompasses applications of different media like paper, multimedia, and assistive technologies in classrooms and schools. It also includes newer technologies like blogs, podcasts, and social media that allow for more participation and user-generated content.
This document discusses how social networks and openness are transforming teaching and learning. It highlights how tools like social media allow academics to more openly share their work and connect with peers and students. It also discusses the rise of open access to information, open journal publishing models, and how knowledge is becoming more freely shared. The document advocates for more open and connected models of teaching that take advantage of global online learning networks and communities.
1) Educational technology is the application of technology to enhance instruction and extend human capabilities in educational settings. It includes any devices used to communicate information to students, from chalk and blackboards to computers and tablets.
2) The concept of educational technology is broad and evolving as new technologies are developed and integrated into classrooms. It also includes assistive technologies to help students with disabilities.
3) Web 2.0 technologies like blogs and podcasts allow for more participation and sharing of information online, empowering more people to disseminate content. November argues this can be applied to education by having students take more control over their learning as researchers, reflectors and writers.
Younger generations are more comfortable with communicating via electronic devices rather than in person, resulting in weaker social skills and a loss of personal connection. Additionally, constant cell phone use has been linked to increasing male infertility rates due to electromagnetic wave emission and higher temperatures near the reproductive organs. Technology is also replacing many jobs with automated robots and making people overly dependent on electronics for work, school, and leisure, further eroding communities and social interaction. This rapid technological change has disrupted social norms and left societies without a clear consensus on technology use.
The following slide show is a collection of ideas I found extremely helpful when trying to gain a deeper understanding of the Net Generation. I have referenced scholarly sources to support my ideas and have organized the material into several subheadings:
Who is the Net Generation?/ How are they different?
How do they learn best?
What are their learning expectations?
What are the implications for teaching this generation?
1. The document discusses the shift to a "Post-PC Era" where mobile devices are becoming the primary computing tools used in education.
2. It argues that mobile devices expand access to technology while still allowing personal computers to be used for more intensive tasks.
3. The key benefits of mobile devices are described as convenience, engagement through new learning opportunities, collaboration both inside and outside the classroom, and enabling more student content creation.
4. The presentation concludes that while personal computers are still needed, mobile devices will become the dominant education technology going forward.
The document discusses how the web has created a culture of mass participation, sharing, and collaboration where more people can share ideas and information than ever before. It argues that ideas come to life when shared, and the web is a powerful platform for creativity and innovation for this reason. However, increased sharing online also brings dilemmas around privacy and allowing everyone to participate does not always lead to productive discussions. A key conflict for the future will be between rising mass collaboration and attempts by corporations and governments to retain control over what is shared.

Educational Technology and Digital LearningJohan Koren
This document discusses educational technology and digital learning. It provides definitions of key concepts like technology, media, and educational technology. Technology is defined as applying knowledge to organized tasks involving people and machines to meet sustainable goals. Educational technology applies this to education using tools from chalk and blackboards to modern devices. Digital learning uses internet and computing technologies to connect students to information and each other in new ways, allowing for more participation and contribution beyond traditional classroom models. The document explores implications and debates around integrating new technologies and digital approaches into education.
The document discusses predictions for communication technology advances by 2026. It predicts that online and virtual learning will become more prevalent, with teachers able to conduct holographic video calls and students accessing lessons on tablets. Laptops may become obsolete within 20 years as tablets and phones gain more functionality. Phones may be able to project holograms or send distress signals. Television is predicted to offer 4D experiences making viewers feel like they are right in front of the screen. The document also reviews several communication theories and how technology has impacted communication and relationships.
George Couros discusses the benefits of using social media in education. He notes that both large companies and churches now have social media accounts. Social media allows for free communication that reduces isolation and builds cultural understanding. It can also amplify passion and make education more open. Proper use of social media can help connect the world and empower educators to achieve limitless possibilities when working with students.
- The document discusses how technology has dramatically changed international development over the past 60 years, moving from physical missions to now allowing anyone with an internet connection to connect globally.
- It argues that while technology aims to increase efficiency, it has also unintentionally spread information and power more widely, challenging traditional hierarchies.
- New models are emerging that empower local communities to address their own needs, and technology can help scale innovative solutions by making remote connections and processes more efficient and accessible.

The document discusses the rise of social media and how it has transformed how people discover, read, and share information. It notes that social media allows for a shift from one-way communication (one to many) to two-way dialogues (many to many), democratizing information by transforming people from mere content consumers to content publishers. It also discusses how social media has become popular by enabling people to connect online and form relationships for both personal and business purposes.
This document discusses technology integration in education. It argues that technology is ubiquitous in students' lives outside of school and should be integrated into the curriculum to teach 21st century skills like collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. When technology is integrated effectively, it allows students to access primary sources, collect and analyze data, and publish and present their work. The document encourages teachers to utilize available hardware, software, internet resources, and incorporate them into lessons to revolutionize the learning process.
Impact of technology on humans' social interactionSiphiwe Komwa
The document discusses how technology is transforming society and human social interactions. It notes that some predict that in the next 10 years, internet and mobile technologies will degrade the quality of human social connections by replacing face-to-face interactions. Several groups are affected, including families who interact less in person and instead use technologies like social media. Workplaces also see less personal interaction as employees focus on computers and the internet.
The document describes The Hole in the Wall experiment, where a computer was enclosed in a secure area of a barricaded wall to provide children in an underprivileged community access to the internet and computers. It explains how this helped the children gain knowledge, learn new skills like computer programming, and communicate with others, demonstrating how technology can benefit poor communities by increasing understanding, helping learn new skills that can lead to jobs, and providing access to information from around the world.
The document discusses how technology has evolved in education over time and its future prospects. It describes how educators have historically used available resources to meet student needs and how the invention of the microcomputer began a new era of educational technology. Currently, classrooms incorporate tools like smart boards, LCD projectors, and distance learning options. Looking forward, the future may include greater digital literacy and access to on-demand learning materials through technology.
The Ctrl+Sht+Del project aims to boost computer awareness and train participants in basic computer use. It is a 4-week program that will introduce participants from the Makoko community in Lagos to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and email through practical tutorials and exercises. The project hopes to stamp out phobias around computer use and drive interest in using computers to assist with everyday educational tasks. It also aims to empower participants with computer skills and inspire them to teach others.
This document discusses how learning is changing in the digital age. It notes that the new generation spends a significant amount of time online accessing information through sources like Facebook, YouTube, and browsing websites. It argues that learning is now based on searching, sorting, and synthesizing information from multiple sources rather than just absorbing a single source of information. It also suggests that new literacies will be required to effectively use social media, manage online identities, and organize and share content. Overall, the document advocates for learning that takes place through loosely connected virtual communities and involves co-creation of customized learning experiences between students and facilitators.
Using technology to improve teaching and learningEbtehaj Al-Hazmy
Using technology can improve teaching and learning in several ways:
It allows for interactivity, collaboration, communication and a sense of community among students. Technology also provides variety in teaching methods and learning preferences. It enables formative and summative assessment. Examples of technologies that can be used include interactive websites, graphic organizers, social media platforms like Twitter and Edmodo, and communication technologies like videos and photos. The key is harnessing students' existing technology skills and enthusiasm to enhance learning in schools.
In Poland, teaching writing focuses first on simple exercises in grades 1-3 like filling in blanks or rearranging words. In grades 4-6, students learn more complex text types like stories, descriptions, and letters. Teachers first present rules for each type, have students read examples, fill in blanks, and put events in order using provided words before writing independently. When checking, teachers focus on spelling, grammar, proper form, and content of the text.
Usingtechnology To Teach Reading And Writing TPudding Lee

It asks the reader if their initial opinion on using technology to teach writing has changed after considering the pros and cons.
This document discusses using blogs, wikis, and other web tools to teach writing. It provides examples of student blogs and wikis, and tips for getting started. Suggestions include setting up class and student blogs on platforms like Blogger, using wikis like Wikipedia for collaborative writing projects, and exploring other digital tools like Glogster, Twitter, and Google Docs that support writing. The presenter encourages teachers to experiment with these tools and ask for help from educational technology experts.
Designing a seminar on how to teach writingsamkadri02
The document outlines the objectives and procedures of a seminar on teaching writing skills. The seminar includes 4 tasks: 1) identifying reasons students struggle with writing and solutions; 2) ordering jumbled paragraphs about ancient Egypt; 3) matching statements to topic sentences; 4) identifying the think, pair, share phases of writing. Participants work in groups and provide feedback. The seminar aims to help teachers develop students' writing abilities and determine the teacher's role. It concludes by thanking the special guest and listing the group members.
How blogs, wikis and video help teach writingjpfarland
Blogs, wikis, and videos follow the same five-step writing process as traditional pen-and-paper writing: brainstorming/prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. However, electronic writing requires additional considerations like determining the appropriate technology to use and where the content will be published. While blogs allow for more informal writing, wikis and videos involve outlining content and crafting narratives or storyboards before publication online. Overall, these technologies motivate students and provide alternatives for those who struggle with traditional writing by engaging skills like planning, creating, and sharing content electronically.
The pros and cons of using technology in the classroom to teach writingJennifer A Cutting
The document discusses the pros and cons of using technology in the classroom. It notes that technology provides student choice, engages students, makes the writing process easier, and allows writing to be more creative. However, it also lists challenges like lack of reliable internet, not enough devices, lack of teacher training, and issues with finding time to incorporate technology into lessons. The document concludes that both advocates and critics of classroom technology make valid arguments, and that technology is now a regular part of life that should be used in moderation in classrooms, with the teacher still playing the most important role.
The document discusses the pros and cons of using digital media to teach writing. Some of the key pros mentioned are that digital technology engages students, students are familiar with social media, and it easily links to Common Core State Standards. However, some cons are that the resources needed for digital technology are initially expensive and require updates, students may rely too heavily on spell and grammar checks, and low-income areas have less access to digital media. The document concludes that educators need to prepare students for the digital age by teaching them to properly use digital media, despite the challenges.
This document provides guidance on brainstorming and outlining techniques for writing an MLA short essay. It discusses freewriting and idea mapping as brainstorming methods, and recommends generating ideas without editing to develop topics. Outlining involves dissecting the thesis into main points and subpoints, then organizing these thoughts coherently with a numeric or alphabetical system. An example thesis is provided to demonstrate creating an outline.
This document provides guidance on teaching writing for exams. It discusses the basic features of writing tests, different writing tasks, types of writing, key skills assessed, and how to assess student writing and provide feedback. It emphasizes practicing the full writing process from brainstorming to revising, using rubrics, and giving students opportunities to provide peer feedback before submitting final drafts to the teacher. The goal is to train students on the skills and processes required to perform well on writing exams.
Using Story Bird to Teach Writing to all Learnerskalireynolds
Story Bird is a website that allows students to create stories using artwork to generate ideas. Teachers can assign stories and view student submissions. Students can write independently or collaboratively, sharing their stories via social media. The site offers a way for all learners to engage in writing at their own level.
What Can Journalists Teach Developers About Writing Source Code?Alistair McKinnell
Today's programs are more complicated than ever. Overwhelming detail threatens to prevent developers from writing code that can be understood and safely changed. Exactly how to organize all this detail is a significant challenge. Luckily there is something that developers can learn from journalists.
The Inverted Pyramid is a writing style that journalists use to organize the details in newspaper articles. It provides two important benefits for readers. First, readers can leave an article at any point and understand it, even if they do not have all the details. Second, for those readers who wish to proceed, it conducts them through the article details.
Writing is a task that no two people do the same way. However, there are some logical steps that every writer seems to follow in the creation of a paper. The process described here outlines those basic steps.
The document provides techniques for brainstorming, including input exercises to focus on aspects of the problem. It discusses generating lists around audiences affected, behaviors that may change, and descriptive words for central objects. Other techniques include idea webs to connect ideas, changing perspectives, breaking into small groups, and using story structures with setups, conflicts and resolutions to inspire ideas. The overall goal is to stimulate creative thinking around solving problems through various exercises.
This document discusses the reasons for and benefits of writing. It outlines the main steps in the writing process as prewriting, drafting, editing/revising, and presenting. The benefits of using the writing process in classrooms include creating a final product, teaching purposeful communication and research skills, and allowing for student collaboration and feedback. However, some drawbacks are that it takes time, may lose student interest, requires teaching writing stages, and restricts spontaneity.
This presentation examines the pros and cons of using digital technologies to teach writing. Some of the pros discussed include access to endless information sources, ease of technology incorporation due to student expertise, and increased student engagement. However, cons include unreliable information sources, students' skill levels surpassing teachers', and increased opportunities for off-task behavior. The presentation provides solutions to these issues, such as teaching students how to evaluate sources, providing teacher training, and planning meaningful collaborative activities. Overall, the conclusion is that including digital technologies benefits students, and there are solutions to most problems that may arise.
This document provides guidance on brainstorming and planning for an essay. It discusses that brainstorming is an important early step that helps develop a provisional writing plan. This process can help uncover a central theme and focus research questions. Having an initial plan can prevent being overwhelmed by information later on. The document also provides an example of turning a thesis statement into a more detailed provisional outline. It stresses that the provisional plan will likely need revision after further research. Guidance is offered on finding and evaluating sources, taking notes, knowing when to stop research, and revising the initial plan based on new information. Finally, it covers writing a first draft and checklist for editing.
This document provides techniques for generating new ideas, including brainstorming, adaptation using SCAMPER, attribute listing, analogy, and constructive discontent. It encourages applying these techniques to redesign a computer mouse by mapping attributes, thinking of similar objects, analyzing ways to improve it, and using a 2D grid to think creatively.
The document provides four tips for teaching 9th grade students narrative text writing: 1) Have students work in groups to write short stories but edit individually, 2) Allow students to choose working individually or with friends on children's bedtime stories, ensuring outlines and drafts are checked, 3) Provide pictures and starting sentences to guide individual story writing, 4) Organize group work where each adds a sentence to a collective story that is passed between groups.
There is no doubt that media plays an influential role in our catechetical ministry lives. However, "digital natives" today are no longer satisfied simply passively consuming information; instead they want to be active participants. From participating to producing, this interactive session will explore the role media can play in today's parish catechetical program. Together we will learn to become creative "digital storytellers." Our creativity will fuel our "faith fire" in order to enhance faith formation in the 21st century Kingdom of God.
TECH2002 Studies in Digital Technology Lecture Week 16The_Joker
This document provides an introduction and overview for a university course on digital technology and new media. It outlines several key concepts that will be covered, including social media tools for collaboration, new media genres of participation like hanging out and messing around, and how individuals are becoming digital through incorporating new media into everyday life. Assessment for the course includes a project exploring values in technologies and a written essay.
This document discusses the concept of multiliteracies and its importance for teaching English. It defines multiliteracies as involving a multiplicity of discourses, being influenced by new technologies and multimedia, and incorporating different representational forms like visual design. Research shows literacy is not singular but takes multiple forms based on one's environment and culture. This shift means teaching English must include situated practice with new literacies, overt instruction on interpreting various meanings, and applying understandings to different contexts. Incorporating popular culture and media can develop important cognitive skills. Teaching multiliteracies requires openness to changing literacies and social relations in digital spaces.

Virtual 3D worlds such as Second Life and online gaming environments are attracting educationalists' interest. This paper reports upon the first European Teen Second Life educational project for 13-17 year olds: the Schome Park
Networked learning: experience the educational power of the network and the participatory culture of the web Presented at the Asia Society Ning.com is a free web-based platform that allows users to create their own social networking sites with many of the same features available on Facebook or MySpace. (The word “ning” means “peace” in Chinese.) Sites created with Ning allow virtual communities to form around common interests and around the world. Come explore how participating on a Ning—and even creating your own—enables students and teachers alike to engage in networked learning.
The document discusses the shift to 21st century learning, including a move from linear to networked learning, an emphasis on community and collaboration over individual achievement, and the need for schools and teachers to adapt to these changes. It notes that skills like creativity, innovation, and pattern recognition will be increasingly important for the future workforce. Statistics are provided on the growth of information and how quickly knowledge becomes outdated, emphasizing the need for lifelong learning. Effective technology integration depends on pedagogical approaches rather than the technology alone.
Inaugural Lecture
John Cook
Date: Tuesday 3rd of Feb, 2009
Time: 6pm
Venue: Henry Thomas room, Holloway Road, London Metropolitan University
Introduced by Brian Roper, Vice-Chancellor London Metropolitan University
Students Voice: Continuum of Choice for the future of educationAlana James
How much and to what extent should we consider trust and student voice as we redesign education? This is the first year report of findings from the Future(s) of Education project (www.futureofeducationproject.net)
The document discusses how education is being impacted by technology and the information superhighway. It raises questions about who will own knowledge and content in the digital age. It argues that simply introducing new technologies into education is not enough, and that teachers need to help students critically understand the social structures and values promoted through different media. A real commitment is needed to reconstruct education and professional roles in relation to the new techno-culture.
Sociomedia: The Transformative Power of TechnologyRichard Smyth
a model for using educational technology in light of new emerging literacies. this goes along with the podcast available here: http://www.anabiosispress.org/temp/sociomedia.mp3
The document discusses literacy for engaging in a participatory culture. It argues that developing new media literacies requires understanding our relationships with media, not just technology. A focus on media emphasizes the social and cultural practices that emerge around communication tools. The document outlines several core new media literacies like play, performance, and collaboration that are important for full participation in today's media landscape. It also discusses how initiatives are working to help students tap into rich learning networks through connected learning approaches. However, barriers like uneven access to opportunities and skills can prevent some from fully participating. Educators need to become participants themselves in new media to help students develop important new media literacies.
This document discusses how new media and technology can impact learning. It covers sociocultural learning theory, characteristics of new media use such as personalization and social software.
