The beliefs as for how people learn best. There are numerous beliefs and theories out there about individual learning styles. It is very important that you have some familiarity with that particular individual. Each person has a certain learning style that best meets their needs and how they learn. Learning styles have been studied by many educational and psychological experts for years. A lot of instructors are also trying to find out how their students learn best so they can adapt their lessons and make it better for kids in their classroom. According to Driscoll (2005), learners learn from what they do and practice what you learn in a variety of settings. Most important some people learn best at their own pace and the different kinds of learning require different training processes.
The purpose of educational technology allows ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. Educational technology will also allow individuals experience with multiple use of software, hardware, research or project on the internet, blogs, wiki’s and social networks. Technology of education is most simply and comfortably defined as an array of tools that might prove helpful in advancing student learning.

Hello Keith,
ReplyDeleteI gotta tell you...............I love the presentation of your blog. It's like a well wrapped present! :-) The graphic organizers are very visually appealing! What tool did you use to make them?
I would like to respond to your last sentence:
"Technology of education is most simply and comfortably defined as an array of tools that might prove helpful in advancing student learning."
I totally agree! Technology might prove helpful in advancing student achievement! It might--but it might NOT! Technology is not a round magical ball that when clicked automatically brings about student achievement. The technology has to live up to phenomenal pedagogical practices based on data driven instruction. Your thoughts?
