The Educational Technology 1 (ET-1) hastruly paved the way for the learner tobecome:

oAware,

oAppreciative, and

oEquippedTo use educational technology toolsranging from traditional to moderneducational media.

Truly, the foundation for a truly satisfying exposure to educational technology has been firmly laid down by the ET-1 course, starting with the thorough treatment of the history of educational technology, quality education, and the roles of ET in the 21st millennium.

In ET-1, the learner was also oriented towards averting the dangers of dehumanization which technology brings into societies, through:

o Ideological propaganda,

o Pornography,

o Financial fraud, and

o Other exploitative use of technology.

Sad to say, these dangers continue to affect peoples and

cultures while widening the gap

between rich and poor countries.

On the application of educational

technology to instruction,

Educational Technology 1 showed

the 4 phases of application of

educational technology in the

teaching-and-learning, namely;

a. Setting of learning objectives,

b. Designing of specific learning

experiences,

c. Evaluating the effectiveness

of the learning experiences

vis-à-vis learning objectives,

and

d. Revision as needed of whole

teaching-learning process, or

elements of it, for further

improvement of future

instructional activities.

Adding to the technology sophistication

of the learner, Educational Technology

1 fittingly refined the distinction

between educational technology and

other concepts, such as:

• Instructional technology (which is the

use of technology in instruction,

different from school management),

• Educational media (on equipment

and materials, apart from the

teacher himself),

• Audio-visual aids (or learning media

to stir the senses for more

effective learning).

In sum, educational technology served;

• To orient the learner to the

pervasiveness of educational

technology and society.

• To lend familiarization on how

educational technology can be

utilized as media for the avenues

teaching-learning process in the

school.

• To uplift human learning

through the use of learning

technology.

• To impart skills in planning,

designing, using and

evaluating the technology-

enriched teaching-learning

process.

• To acquaint learners on basic aspects

of community education, functions of

the school media center, and finally

• To introduce the learner to what is

recognize as the third revolution in

education, the computer.
