  From the constructivistpoint of view, educational technology serves as learning tools that learners learn with. It engages learners in " active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative learning. It provides opportunities for technology and learner interaction for meaningful learning. In this case, technology will not be mere delivery vehicle for content. Rather it is used as facilitator of thinking and knowledge construction.;
