harus berperan sebagai ahli strategi.
Pemindaian lingkungan dalam konteks teknologi Pendidikan melibatkan proses
yang sistematis diantaranya : pemantauan, analisis, dan menanggapi factor dan tren
eksternal dan internal yang dapat berdampak pada pendidik di lapangan. Pemindaian
lingkungan sangat penting karena dapat membantu intuisi pendidik dan propesional tetap
mendapat informasi, Membantu institusi Pendidikan mengikuti perkembangan teknologi
Pendidikan terkini, serta membantu institusi Pendidikan dan professional membuat

 At the 3rd meeting of the Introduction to Educational Technology course,
Dr. Obed returned to teach us because Professor Deni was visiting Thailand for
official purposes. But at this 3rd meeting Dr. Obed could not teach directly in class,
hence the learning process was held by online.
The course given at the 3rd meeting is still discussing learning technology
strategies including the incorporation or integration of digital tools and technology
into the education process to support various aspects of education. To get optimal
results from digital technology and tools, educators must act as strategists.
Environmental scanning in the context of educational technology involves a
systematic process of monitoring, analyzing, and responding to external and
internal factors and trends that may impact educators in the field. Environmental
scanning is important because it can help educators' and professionals' intuition stay
informed, help educational institutions keep up with the latest developments in
educational technology, and help educational institutions and professionals make
decisions regarding the application of educational technology.
Technology must be aligned with the goals of education, we must remain
responsive to evolving digital learning, and adapt and utilize technology to improve
the quality of learning. The components of the scanning process include emerging
technologies, software applications, hardware and digital tools that enhance
teaching and learning.
