What do teachers need to be
ready for technology?
•
•
•
•
•
Develop a philosophy
Purchase products
Identify and solve problems
Speak the language
See where technology fits in educational
integration
Do computers make a difference?
Do pencils make a difference?

Roblyer & Edwards
Educational technology is a combination of the
processes and tools involved in addressing
educational needs and problems, with an
emphasis on applying the most current tools:
computers and their related technologies.

Milestones and Trends in Educational
Computing Technology
The Era Before Microcomputers
•
1950 - First instructional computer use:
computerized flight simulator used to train pilots
at MIT
•
1959 - First computer use in schools: IBM 650
•
1966 - IBM offers the 1500 system: Dedicated
instructional mainframe
•
1967 - CCC offers first minicomputer-based
instructional system (DEC PDP/1); Mitre
Corporation offers TICCIT system
•
1970s - CDC offers the Plato instructional
delivery system

The Microcomputer Era and Beyond
•
1977 - First microcomputers enter schools
•
1980 - Seymore Papert writes Mindstorms: The
Logo movement begins
•
1980s
–

–
MECC offers microcomputer software; educational
materials publishers begin courseware
development and marketing
The courseware evaluation is emphasized:
MicroSIFT, EPIE, others
The computer literacy movement begins, then
wanes after 1988
•
1990s - Use of ILS and other networked systems
increases; multimedia use and development
increases
The Internet Era
•
1994 - Widespread use of the Internet begins
•
2000 - Virtual reality systems and other virtual
environments are emphasized

What have we learned from
the past?
• No technology is a panacea for
education
• Computer literacy/technological
literacy is a moving target
• Computer literacy/technological
literacy offers a limited integration
rationale
• Standalone computers and
networked computers have
benefits and limitations
2001 Satellite Academy
• Teachers usually do not develop
technology materials or
curriculum
• Technically “possible” does not
equal desirable, feasible, or
inevitable
• Things change faster than teachers
can keep up
• Older technologies can be useful
• Teachers always will be important

Elements of a Rationale for Using
Technology in Education
•
Motivation
•
– Gaining learner attention
– Engaging the learner through
production work
– Increasing perceptions of control
(intrinsic motivation)
•
•
Unique instructional capabilities
– Linking learners to information sources
– Helping learners visualize problems and
•
solutions
– Tracking learner progress
– Linking learners to learning tools
Support for new instructional approaches
– Cooperative learning
– Shared Intelligence
– Problem solving and higher-level skills

Increased teacher productivity
– Freeing time to work with students by
helping with production and record
keeping tasks
– Providing more accurate information
more quickly
– Allowing teachers to produce betterlooking more “student-friendly”
materials more quickly
Required skills for an information age
– Technology literacy
– Information literacy
– Visual literacy

Educational Technology
Standards
• ISTE (International Society for Technology in
Education) and NCATE (National Council for
the Accreditation of Teacher Education) have
developed pre-service standards
• National Educational Technology Standards
(NETS) for K-12
• Technology Standards for School
Administrators (TSSA) for Principals

Today’s Big Issues in
Education and Technology
• Societal issues
– pro-technology movement
– anti-technology movement
• Cultural and equity issues
–
–
–
–
economic/ethnic bias
multi-cultural issues
gender bias
special needs students
• Educational issues
– directed vs. constructivist debate
– interdisciplinary vs. single-subject instruction
– technical issues

NCATE & ISTE
• Establish standards for teaching in education
• Increase emphasis in use of technology in
teacher training
