  1. Education Milestones and Standards ED 215 Tara Carey

  2. What is Educational Technology? • A combination of the processes and tools involved in addressing educational needs and problems, with an emphasis on applying the most current tools: computers and other electronic technologies.

  3. Four Perspectives • Educational technology as media and audiovisual communications • Educational technology as instructional systems and instructional design • Educational technology as vocational training • Educational technology as computer systems

  4. #1 Media and Audiovisual Communications • Slides and films • Media mode to deliver information • Serves Library Media Educators • Association for Educational Communications Technology (AECT) • http://www.aect.org

  5. #2 Instructional Systems and Instructional Design • Use planned, systematic approaches to developing uniform, effective training procedures • Serves higher education and industry instructional designers and trainers • International Society for Performance Improvement • http://www.ispi.org

  6. #3 Vocational Training • Prepare students for the world of work in which they will use technology • By practical means of teaching in content areas • International Technology Education Association (ITEA) • http://www.itea.org

  7. #4 Computer Systems • Used to aid schools • Instructional • administrative • International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) • http://www.iste.org

  8. How is it integrated into education? • Early developments • Programmed instruction • F.B. Skinner

  9. Timeline • 1950; First computer used for instruction • 1959; First computer used with school children • 1960-1970; University time-sharing systems • Early 1970s; Computer-assisted instruction emerges • Mid-to-late 1970s; Schools use computers for instruction and administration

  10. Cont. • Late 1970s; Computer Literacy Movement begins • 1977; First microcomputers enter schools • 1980s; Microcomputer applications spawn movements • Mid 1980s-1990s; Integrated Learning Systems emerge • 1994; World Wide Web (WWW) is born

  11. Cont. • 1998; International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) creates standards • 2000 and beyond; Internet use EXPLODES

  12. Objectivism vs. Constructivism Models

  13. Objectivists • Knowledge has a separate, real existence of its own outside the human mind. • Learning happens when knowledge is transmitted to people and they store it in their minds.

  14. Translation • Teaching is directed, systematic, and structured • Students all pass same tests; standardization means accountability • Inquiry approaches are too slow to be practical; learning has to be teacher directed

  15. Constructivists • Humans construct all knowledge in their minds by participating in certain experiences. • Learning occurs when one contsructs both mechanisms for learning and his or her own unique version of the knowledge, colored by background, experiences, and aptitudes.

  16. Translation • Knowledge is constructed not transmitted! Let students do activities that help them to generate their own knowledge. • Hands-on instruction is student centered • Let students show what they have learned in different ways.

  17. Why Use Computer Technology in Education? • Motivation • Ways of gaining learner attention • Support for manual operations on high-level learning • Illustrations of real-world relevance • Engagement in production work • Connections with distance audiences

  18. Cont. • Enhanced Instructional Methods • Interaction and immediate feedback • Visual demonstrations • Illustrative connections between skills and applications • Opportunities to study systems in unique ways • Unique information sources and populations • Self-paced learning • Access to learning opportunities • Cooperative Learning

  19. Cont. • Increased productivity • Saving time on production tasks • Grading and tracking student work • Faster access to information sources • Saving money on consumable materials

  20. Cont. • Required Information Age Skills • Technological literacy • Information literacy • Visual literacy

  21. NCLB • Impact of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 • Schools must demonstrate that all students are meeting standards • Tracks student progress
