What is Educational technology & why we study it

Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources.Educational Technology includes, but is not limited to, software, hardware, as well as Internet applications and activities. I feel educational technology is essential in the ongoing ever changing world; mastery of this will greatly strengthen a teachers ability to be more technologically advanced. These advancements can help save time, paper work, effort, and help both teachers and students advance far into the 21st century.

We study educational technology because it helps facilitate a large amount of the learning population such as special education students. Also, technology is effective in assisting students with disabilities. Therefore, we would study assistive technology in an effort to help individuals with disabilities have an opportunity to learn. We also study educational technology in effort to educate ourselves in order to educate students in the technological advancements that technology has to offer.
