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.
