My Definition of Educational Technology

Educational technology is technology that is

incorporated into the classroom to enhance both the teacher’s instruction and the

students’ learning. It encourages creativity,

exploration, and curiosity.

In High School technology became a part of everyday life. Papers and projects were required to be word processed, the iPod was introduced, and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) was the number one

choice for communicating.

College Technology

In college it is impossible to function without technology; proof in point, laptops are required for the College of Education. E-mail, YouTube, My UH Portal, Facebook, digital cameras, and on-line

classes are a few of the thousands of way we now use technology in school and in our free time.
