Study Notes

Technology in Education

Communication: The receiver of a message, decoding it, is the recipient. This can be a person or device.
Technology Components: The fundamental component of technology is the operations, procedures, and tools, not just products.
Types of Educational Material: A programmed learning material example includes a video about a location or historical site. A video on a floppy disk is one example of programmed learning material.
Technology as Educational Tools: Educational tools must contain educational content.
Technology Production Process: The translation of design into an educational product is the production process.
Learning Resources: Museums and exhibitions are valuable experiential learning resources classified as physical/spatial resources.
Communication Interference: Interference in message transfer or reception is known as noise.
Teacher's Role: Technology has augmented, not eliminated, the importance of a teacher as a source of information.
Educational Materials Classification: Items such as videos, and images stored materially, can be considered instructional or learning media/materials.
Technological Gaps: Technological disparities are not only linked to teacher reluctance, but to aspects of implementation, access, and training.
Two-way vs. one-way communication: Feedback is a crucial component of two-way communication models.
Education vs. Training: Though overlapping, education is broader and encompasses more aspects of a person's growth than training in a specific task.
Student Disruption Factors: A student's physical factors can act as interruptions or disruptions in the learning process.
Technology Implementation Success: Ensuring technology use is successful or effective goes beyond just acquiring hardware and software.
