History of Education Technology
 Do we still teach in the same way as in 50 or
60 years ago? Why? Why not?
 Upto what extent do the technological
advances influence our teaching practice?
Some important concepts...Some important concepts...
o Technology can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as
machines or hardware, but it can also encompass broader themes,
including systems, methods of organization, and techniques.
o Educational technology refers to technology that is employed in the
classroom for the purpose of student instruction (Buck, 1994). It is all
about computer-based technology including computer hardware,
software, CD-Rom, videodisc player and the Internet. These forms of
technology provide teachers and students with vast quantities of
information in an easily accessible, non-sequential format that can be
used as teaching tool.
Aiding the teaching practice
since 1800...
 Teaching has changed throughout time. The teaching tools that educators
used to aid their practice had changed as time went by...
 One of the very first elements used in the classroom by teachers to aid
their teaching practice was the blackboardblackboard.
 In 1801, the blackboard had a lasting impact on the way instructors taught.
Not only did blackboards become very popular very quickly, they required
fewer writing materials for schools and students who could not always
afford paper and pencils.
 Prior to the ingenious invention, teachers had no way of visually
presenting spelling!
What´s on...?
 Commercially available since the late 1920s, the television set
has become commonplace...
 Television can be a powerful educational tool, but if we want
our students to absorb specific content from what they see, we
need to give them a model for viewing that is active and critical.
(interactive view)
 The t.v. helps teachers when they need to demonstrate
something they can't show in any other way. It makes students
practice skills such as note taking, problem solving, predicting,
listening, etc.
Computers
 The first electronic digital computers were developed between 1940
and 1945 in the United Kingdom and United States. Originally they
were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several
hundred modern personal computers (PCs). In this era mechanical
computers were used for military applications.
 Computer technology has had a deep impact on the education sector.
Thanks to computers, imparting education has become easier and
much more interesting than before. Owing to memory capacities of
computers, large chunks of data can be stored in them. They enable
quick processing of data with very less or no chances of errors in
processing.
Connecting the world...
@ The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications
world like nothing before. It is at once a world-wide broadcasting
capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium
for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their
computers without regard for geographic location.
@ Teachers seem to use it for just about everything: development,
updating language skills, finding materials, learning about computer
applications, keeping in touch with friends and colleagues, teaching,
working on class projects and activities, and just having fun.
Who wants to come to the front?
o Interactive whiteboards are used in
many schools as replacements for
traditional whiteboards or
flipcharts. They provide ways to
show students any thing which can
be presented on a computer's
desktop (educational software, web
sites, etc.)
o They allow teachers to record their
instruction and post the material for
review by students at a later time.
This can be a very effective
instructional strategy for students
who benefit from repetition, for
students who are absent from
school, for struggling learners, etc.
Call me...
o Smartphones provide us with
instant connectivity to our
family and friends and access to
the Internet at G-denoted
speeds.
o A student with a smartphone in
the classroom that uses it
responsibly can become a more
independent and resourceful
learner, not only inside the
classroom, but outside of the
classroom as well.
To summarize...
 We live in the age of the computer,
and there are growing demands on
almost everyone, including
teachers, to become
technologically literate.
 Computer-aided teaching adds a
fun element to education. Teachers
hardly use chalk and board today.
They bring presentations on a flash
drive, plug it in to a computer in
the classroom, and the teaching
begins. There's color, there's sound,
there's movement - the same old
information comes forth in a
different way and learning becomes
fun.
