Lesson 2 Notes
Lesson 2 Notes
● After accomplishing the three tasks given, what does history tell you?
● Each succeeding generation inherits the accumulated knowledge of the preceding
one, do you think it has generally become increasingly better?
Many of today's classrooms no longer resemble the classrooms that we may remember
as children. Chalk has been replaced with a stylus pen, and with a touch of the screen,
you can change what color you want your stylus pen to write in on the board. Textbooks
have been replaced with e-readers, and parent-teacher conferences can be conducted via
video conferencing.
● Think back to when you were still a grade school student. What did technology
look like for you during that time?
● What does it look like today in your class?
● What will it look like when you begin teaching? Would there be any difference?
Classroom technology started as very primitive. Teachers stood at the front of the
classroom and wrote instructional material on a chalkboard. Notes, messages, and the
like were written on these boards with chalk. Later it would be paper and pen being used
at each desk.
● How did technology change classrooms over the past 50 years? What is the future
of technology in your classroom?
● If you were to plot a graph line of technology in education from the time of the
first small computer labs in most high schools to the present day, would you see a
steep climb upward?
● Why is it important to talk about the development of technology in education?
Arguments about the role of technology in education go back at least 2,500 years. To
understand better the role and influence of technology on teaching, we need a little
history, because as always there are lessons to be learned from history.
● Technology is changing the dynamics of education, especially the relationship
between teachers and students. What does this tell the teachers of today?
● Are teachers still necessary in a 21st -century classroom? Justify
● Just imagine where technology will take us in the future. You can imagine how
information technology in education will change the learning experience. It’s a
good bet you will see technology streamlining and improving interfaces. If we
have smartboards, the Internet, and cloud today, what will we have in 25 years?
● How do teachers respond to students who have a digital gap?
● Does technology allow more students to participate at a level that is suitable for
them?
● As future teachers, how can we effectively use these technologies to improve
teaching and learning?
● How do you currently make decisions about what technology to use for teaching?
● How does each resource highlight the significant developments of technology in
education?
ABSTRACTION
History of Educational Technology as presented in different periods by several authors.
Think of the three timelines previously presented to you. Incorporate the developments
mentioned there that are not included here.
F. Contemporary Times
● Highlights interculturalism and multiculturalism; mobile devices and media
platforms; self-paced and individualized study plans; a variety of available
resources and technologies; innovation and production of new knowledge; and,
creation of "enabling spaces" for students.
● Flipped classroom structures revolutionized the delivery and efficacy structure of
learning.
● LMS, MOOCs
● utilization of virtual and augmented reality, 3D printers, robotics
● Employing varied education processes such as heutagogy, peeragogy, and
cybergogy
● limitless possibilities
