  2. What Is Educational Technology • The official term coined by the AECT is the theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning.

  3. Why Do We Study Educational Technology? • Educational technology allows the teacher to determine how to best integrate technology with the various learning styles that would be effective in teaching every student in the class.

  4. Behaviorists • Believe that learning is a passive process • Students learn based on responses to their environment • Learning is not a mental activity

  5. Cognitivists • Focus on learning as a mental operation • Behavior is viewed as an indicator of cognitive processes rather than just an outcome • Explain learning in terms of how one thinks.

  6. Constructivist • Knowledge is a constructed element resulting from the learning process • Knowledge is based on one’s experiences

  7. The Teacher • Teaching requires an understanding of how each individual student learns • Teachers must be able to mesh their life experiences with the curriculum

  8. Where Technology Fits In • Teachers should try to find avenues that would allow them to help all students master the intended curriculum • Technology is the bridge between the teacher and the students. Its utilization in class is an indicator of what education will be like for future generations.

  9. Educational Technology: The Past • Audiovisual movement • Books being replaced by movie projectors • Television

  10. Educational Technology: A Modern View • Programmed instruction • Computer-assisted instruction

  11. Teaching, Learning, and Educational Technology: A Personal Synthesis Everything discussed in chapter 1 must be taken into account of your personal views and feelings about the integration of technology, and how it will be best addressed in the learning environment

  12. Evaluation Questions • What is the definition of educational technology given by the text, and the Association for Educational Communications and Technology? • What is the Behaviorist view of learning? • What is the Cognitivists view of how children learn?
