Educational Technology is a plethora of instructional methods combined to facilitate instruction and knowledge. For me as a student, it means convenience in that I don’t have to go anywhere but my home office to work towards my Master’s degree. Is it more than that? Most definately, and for me as the educator it is an application that allows one to facilitate their knowledge with technological tools to enrich instruction and enhance comprehension. Again, the term “enhanced overall student achievement” applies directly to educational technology.
It is astonishing to realize the magnitude with which our world creates digital learners of today. The numbers presented in the two videos were overwhelming to my mind in regards to how teachers must adapt to the technological world of today. An acute awareness was brought to me in regard to students having to turn their power off at school. That seems very oppositional to our achieving desired learning outcomes. Ultimately with technology being in an ever-evolving state, we must learn to evolve with it. This means we should “Roll with the punches” -if you will, but also “Wallow in the delight” of the opportunities for unrestricted success that technology presents.
