Learning : the Treasure within

Educational Technology … is the use of
technology to support and facilitate the
learning process.

A Process to find viable solutions to educational
problems using all available resources (human
and non-human) in a systematic manner.

Educational Technology is the theory and
practice of design, development, utilization,
management, and evaluation of the processes
and resources of learning.
AECT, 1994
Educational Technology is a Value addition to
quality, relevance, appropriateness and other
such attributes, transforming education by
making it dynamic and responsive to the
passions that move the learners and arose
their curiosity and desire to learn.

NCF, 2005
Teachers and learners should not be treated
as consumers of information but also ACTIVE
PRODUCERS.
NCF, 2005
Educational Technology?

 Technology is viewed as a process, not as
media.
 Focus on human (as well as non-human)
resources for instruction/learning.
 Should De-emphasize the connection between
Educational Technology and media.

 Emphasis on learning culture rather than

on technology
 Counter tendency to centralise, promote

diversity
 Shift from fixed to flexible curricula,

emphasis on competencies than on
content.

Research in Educational Technology
Emerging contribution of online resources and tools to

k-12 learning and teaching. SchoolNet Report.
Meta-analysis of 78 studies reveled 14 overall

observations on how new technologies effect
the learning process and the immediate
environment in which they are introduced.

Research Observations
When Students use educational technology it …

• Stimulates development of intellectual skills (problem
solving, learning how to learn, creativity).
• Improves development of various skills and attitudes.
• Increases interest in learning and attention span.
• Stimulates search for more information on a subject.
• Promotes cooperation.
• Contributes to more thorough assimilation of ideas.

Research Observations
When Teachers use educational technology it …
• Promotes use of diverse instructional resources.
• Facilitates cooperation among colleagues.
• Promotes examination of learning styles and outcomes.
• Encourages teacher-student interaction.
• Fosters view of learning as a continuous research process.
• Highlights student learning strengths and difficulties.

Today’s Net Generation
Today’s Students are Digital Natives who:
Want to receive information at light speed.
Like to parallel process and multi-task.
Prefer their graphics before their text.
Prefer random access through hypertext.
Function best when networked.
Thrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards.
Expect information systems to work like Google.
Marc Prensky (Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants, 2001)

Today’s Net Generation

Educational Technology Resources
