Integration of Technology Into Education Introduction to Educational Technology
Effectiveness of Technologyfor learning • Technology for instructional presentation • Technology for lesson planning • Technology for instructional design • Technology for distance education • Technology for locating learning resources • Technology for class management • Technology for instructional database • Technology for assessment • Technology for data analysis • Technology for educational innovation
The Effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) • Students usually learning more when they receive computer-assisted instruction • CAI is more efficient (reducing instructional time from one-quarter to one third) • For example, computer tutoring can present materials to students, evaluate the students’ responses, determine what to present next, and track the students’ progress. (Kulik, 1994, p.11)
Technology for Class Presentation and Instruction Presentation Format • PowerPoint presentation • Traditional slide presentation • Presentation on the Internet Presentation Hardware: • LCD color projector • Overhead projector • Wireless laptops • Remote controlled presentation • Smart board
Technology for Lesson Plan • Lesson plan template and lesson plan • Lesson plan resources online (marcopolo, Alex, Intel, or search online) • Shared lesson plan and shared instructional resources • Post lesson plan online, send it to remote users
Technology for Instructional Design • Find lesson plan online or in database • Integrating multimedia features into instruction • Links to the resources at a click • The self-paced tutorial for individuals (Learning games, FAQs online) • Make your content instruction more acceptable • Flexibly meet the learning needs of all students
Technology for Distance Education • Networked communication (email, e-video conferencing, chat, Blackboard, etc.) • Interaction, the corner stone of distance Ed. • Cable video conferencing • Internet video conferencing (NetMeeting) • Learning network: Blackboard, WebCT, LearningSpace • Issue of format shift in technology assisted learning
Locating Learning Resources • Online educational web sites Thinkfinity, Alex.org, Intel.com, riverdeep.com, Virtual library • Online educational database • Instuctor’s Website: Educational lesson plan, syllabus, free software, online tutorial, free learning games online • Learning graphics, games, tutorials, FAQs, presentations, videos, shared projects online • Using search engines to search resources for your needs
