Another important part of educational technology is the theory and practice of using new
technology to come up with new ways to teach and help students learn.
Behind all the high-tech tools and digital bells and whistles are the teachers who know how
to use these new technologies to make their students’ educational worlds bigger. They also
have the inspiration to do this.

- 2. What is Educational Technology? There have been many changes in educational technology, from the ancient abacus to handheld calculators, slide projectors, and classroom film strips to virtual reality and next- generation e-learning. This has inspired both teachers and students to learn in new ways. Technology is always changing how we work and play, how we make things, and how we communicate. So it’s only natural that new digital technology is also changing the world of education in big ways.
- 3. Educational Technology for teachers For teachers, technology is giving them new ways to help young people learn and grow. Today, there is a lot of excitement about how assistive technology, virtual and augmented reality, high-tech collaboration tools, gamification, podcasting, blogging, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, personalized learning, and a lot more can help people learn better. Here, we’ll look at some of the best examples of educational technology, as well as some specific edtech tools and trends that we’ll talk about. When we talk about “educational technology,” we can talk about both types of things at the same time.
- 4. ● Educational approaches to learning, as well as the theory and practice of these approaches ● The technological tools that help people learn and share their knowledge. ● Technology in the Classroom Tools and media
- 5. Importance of Educational technology tools One of the most important definitions of educational technology is that it includes “the technological tools and media that help people to communicate and exchange knowledge. Take augmented reality and virtual reality, for example, as example. Daniel Newman, a technology innovation expert, wrote about the “Top 6 Digital Transformation Trends in Education” on Forbes.com. He talked about how AR and VR can “enhance teacher instruction while also creating immersive lessons that are fun and engaging for the student.” He wants us to think about how virtual reality could be used to take students to ancient Greece.
- 6. By using games as an instructional tool, “gamification” combines playing and learning, says Newman, who says that using games in the classroom “can make learning difficult subject matter more exciting and interactive.” ProwdigyGame.com, which has a free math game for grades 1-8 that is used by millions of students, teachers, and parents, has a report called “25 Easy Ways to Use Technology in the Classroom.” Some of their ideas: 25 Easy Ways to Use Technology in the Classroom…Some of their ideas: ● Running a Virtual Field Trip: Explore famous places like the Empire State Building or the Great Barrier Reef, or use technology to “visit” the places before you go on a real field trip.
- 7. ● When students go on a Webquest, they learn how to look for and process information in a fun way. Among other things, they could be put in the role of a detective in order to solve a “case.” They could look for clues about a curriculum topic by looking at specific sources and web pages. ● Podcasting: Playing relevant podcasts, or helping students make their own, can be a great way to supplement lessons, help auditory learners, and even help students learn new things about how to make things.
- 8. “What Is on the Horizon for Educational Technology?” by David Andrade: Online learning and makerspaces are the current tools and trends, with robotics and virtual reality expecting to be widely used in the next few years. Taking a look at the future, Andrade says that “artificial intelligence and wearable technology” will be common in four to five years. In practice, teachers who learn how to use educational technology in classrooms and virtual classrooms will be the ones who come up with new ideas for how to make them more interesting and effective.

Technology in the classroom People talk about [Theory and Practice] Another important part of educational technology is the theory and practice of using new technology to come up with new ways to teach and help students learn. Behind all the high-tech tools and digital bells and whistles are the teachers who know how to use these new technologies to make their students’ educational worlds bigger.

A report by the International Society for Technology in Education says that the most interesting topics for teachers who use technology for learning and teaching aren’t about the technology at all, but about their students.
- 10. Students will benefit from more opportunities for personalized learning, more collaborative classrooms, and new strategies like “flipped learning,” which allows students to learn about a subject outside of the classroom (often online) and then use class time to talk about and solve problems with their peers. For teachers who want to make a difference in this field, getting a master’s in educational technology isn’t just about learning new tools, strategies, and practices. It’s also about learning about the supporting structures that must be in place to make sure the best results.
- 11. These educational technologies are as follow: As for policy and legal issues As for moral issues: (student privacy, etc.) ● Money, grants, and budgets ● Applications in the real world (the world of work, partnership opportunities, etc.) ● Networking, hardware, and learning management software ● Access to community and school resources, as well as access for students. ● To be able to do a school or district needs assessment or site tech survey analysis For teachers who are excited about the huge potential of educational technology, a master’s degree can’t be overestimated in terms of its value.
- 12. Careers in educational technology: The value of a master’s degree in this field In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in educational technology. This has led to the creation of new advanced degree programs that teach teachers how to think like an innovator and use technology to change their classroom, school, or district. The best programs for tech students are designed to all of the tools and theories used in educational technology, as well as the important issues (budgeting, legal/ethical issues, real- world partnerships, educational equity, and so on) that must be addressed in order for technology-enhanced programs to achieve their full potential.
- 13. The goal of educational technology The goal of the program is to help teachers become effective K-12 technology leaders and coaches, virtual educators, and instructional innovators who use technology-based teaching practices to help students learn. The fully online format of the program, in which students learn from experts who have a lot of experience in the field and also meet other teachers from all over the country, allows busy teachers to finish their master’s degree in 20 months while still working full time.
