Educational Technology 2 is concerned with “integrating technology into Teaching and Learning.” Specifically this is focus on introducing, reinforcing, supplementing and extending the knowledge and skills to the learner so that they can become exemplary users of educational technology.
Educational Technology 2 will involve a deeper understanding of the computer as well as hands-on application of computer skills. But this is NOT to say that the goal of the course is to promote computer skills, rather, the course is primarily directed at enhancing teaching- learning through TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION.
Objectives:
Ø To provide education in the use of technology in instruction by providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners.
Ø To impart learning experiences in instructional technology supported instructional planning.
Ø To acquaint students on information technology or IT-related learning theories with the computer as a tutor.
Instructional Technique and Technologies
Problem Based Learning and Inquiry-based learning are active learning educational technologies used to facilitate learning. Technology which includes physical and process applied science can be incorporated into project, problem, inquiry-based learning as they all have a similar educational philosophy. All three are student centered, ideally involving real-world scenarios in which students are actively engaged in critical thinking activities. The process that students are encouraged to employ (as long as it is based on empirical research) is considered to be a technology. Classic examples of technologies used by teachers and Educational Technologists include Bloom's Taxonomy and Instructional Design.
