Educational Technology is Very Broad
I believe educational technology is many different things put together. It has a very broad definition. Educational technology involves teaching and learning. It can easily be confused with technology in education, which is applying technology to a subject. Another common mistake made about educational technology is that it is the actual media that teachers and students use, such as computers, a Smart Board, iPad, digital camera, etc. I, myself, have confused this with educational technology. All of these things make up educational technology. It's essential that educators in the field of educational technology keep updated on technology because it's constantly changing.

Tara,
ReplyDeletePlease disregard my phone message earlier. Had I looked at the last week's assignment, I would have found you. So, here we are. I agree with you on the aspect of educational technology being so broad and that is is not easily pin pointed as specific instruments, but more as any instrument that serves the purpose of aiding in the education of one individual.
