Educational Technology

       Educational Technology equipped teacher to have important medias and knowledge about the new trends in technology to make the learning and teaching process more fun. It helps teacher to come up with a cool and fun motivations and activities for students, think of alternative and unique ways of presenting to the students the lessons, to easily caught the attention of students while they are learning. It doesn't necessarily means that technology is far more better than teachers, it's just that, technology can help teachers to be equipped with all learning resources that the students might need. Remember: there is no Technology that can ever replace Teachers.

     

       Integrating Technology in Education is also part of Educational technology, as the name implies. Integrating means combining, so it means technology is being combine with education especially in instruction. A real Integration needs change, The only problem we can't achieve change is the initiatives that we have, some countries can't afford to have computers because of financial problems. that's one factor. Another is the knowledge of teacher to use technology, some are not knowledgeable about those, we also need to have models and guidelines for teachers on how to use a particular modem. Integrating technology is a good thing if we just use it also on good purpose.

Everybody is talking about technology integration, but few practicing teachers profess to know exactly how to proceed. The fact is that real integration requires change. . . . However, what seems to be lacking is a model that teachers can use to guide them through the necessary changes they will need to make to be successful in integrating new technology into their classroom (Johnson & Liu, 2000, p. 4).
