2. From traditional point of view, technology
serves as source and presenter of knowledge.
It is assumed that " knowledge is embedded
in the technology ( e.g. the content
presented by films and t.v programs or the
teaching sequence in programmed
instruction ) and the technology presents
that knowledge to the student ( David H.
Jonassen, et al, 1999 )
3. From the constructivist point of view,
educational technology serves as learning
tools that learners learn with. It engages
learners in " active, constructive, intentional,
authentic, and cooperative learning. It
provides opportunities for technology and
learner interaction for meaningful learning. In
this case, technology will not be mere
delivery vehicle for content. Rather it is used
as facilitator of thinking and knowledge
construction.;
