9. 1. According to Leith (1967) educational
technology is the application of scientific
knowledge about learning and the
conditions of learning to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of teaching and
learning.
2. Educational technology is the development
, application and evaluation of the system
techniques and aids to improve the process

3. Revolution as a result of invension of printing and wild
availability of books and other teaching learning
material.(invention of printing)
4. The fourth revolution is the development in electronics ,notably
those involving the Radio, T.V, cassette recorder and computer
and development of systems consernt that is the fourth revolution
is the educational technology it self.
EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY AS THE FOURTH
EDUCATIONAL REVOLUTION
13. • Educational technology is the application of
scientific principles to education.
