State of the Art Educational Technology Application Practices
Introduction
Educators have become more aware and active in adopting state-of-the-art educational technology practices they can possibly adapt today.
One can see a greater need for teachers to
acquire not only computer literacy but, competence
as well.
The following trends should also be recognized by
educators:
Present day, students have become computer
literate
Teachers have deemphasized rote learning, they spent
more time in methods
Shifting focus from lower level traditional learning to higher level such as
creative and critical thinking skills.
Recent teaching- learning paved the way
for instructional approaches, students rely
less on teachers as information- givers. They acquire information, build their own knowledge and
solve problems.
These trends and new levels of learning require the appropriate use of state-of-the-art instruction and the
use of I.T. ,tapping the computer’s information and communication tools (such as word processors, data
bases, spreadsheets, presentation software, e-
mail, internet conferencing, etc.)
OBSTACLES TO I.T(DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES PERSPECTIVE)
Use of computer is time consuming and expensive Danger of technology-
centered classrooms to replace teachers
Virtue is a moderation and so, there is truly a need for
teachers to balance their time to the preparation and
application of instructional tools. Through wise technical
advise, schools can also acquire the most appropriate
computer hardware and software. At the same time,
training should ensure that the use of education technology is fitted to learning objectives.
In addition, teacher should acquire computer
skills so that they can serve as models in
integrating Ed. Tech. in teaching-learning
process.
Following modern trends in technology related
education, schools should now foster a students are
given leeway to use computer information
sources in their assignments, reports and presentation in written,
visual, or dramatic forms.
All these suggestions show that teachers and schools can no longer
avoid the integration of Ed. Tech in instruction.
And with continuing changes in high-speed communication, mass
storage of data, including the revolutionary changes
among school libraries, educators should be open
for more drastic educational changes in
the years ahead.
