The Educational Technology 1 (ET-1) course has truly paved the way for the learner to become: • Aware,• Appreciative, and• Equipped, To use educational technology tools ranging from traditional to modern educational 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:• Ideological propaganda,• Pornography, • Financial fraud, and• 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 utilize d 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.
