3. My definition of Educational Technology is… ….technologies and tools that are used to enhance the educational experience by linking the classroom to just about anywhere and anything. It commonly incorporates the use of computers or computer based applications or programs, but can also include video, podcasts, teleconferencing, and other communications technologies. The options are virtually limitless.
