The purpose of this publication is simple: to provide examples of learning – identifying and clarifying what the technology is “training” and “looks” in and outside the classroom.
In fact, I started this post in 2015 and decided it could be useful for some, so I updated and finished it. Several frequently asked questions about context.
What is the simple definition of technology?
We tend to think about “technology” as a new and usually computer hardware or software of some kind. This is just one type of technology.
A broader, simple definition of technology is the application of “things” (often knowledge) that cause change. This “change” can be in the form of science development, solving problems, production of commercial goods, improving healthcare, sharing information, changing physical landscapes, creating physical and digital structures, etc.
The definitions range from the dictionary to philosophically to conceptual And so on. For our purposes, we will define “technology” such as the application of tools, knowledge, processes or other methods for achieving goals.

In terms of its timeliness, “technology” is also a relative term. At one point, a pencil was considered a “new” technology. In socio -cultural contexts, it is also relative in technology that can be almost invisible in a society, it can be completely changed (for better or for a worse) other society. The meaning is contextual, as is the technology as a concept.
What is educational technology for teaching and training?
Educational technology is the implementation of new tools and ideas that help teachers learn students and study.
What are the functions of educational technology?
Educational technology can Automation processes, improve access to information, activation sharing knowledge and data, duplicate information between media forms, cura Important knowledge, Communicate ideas, visualize Critical concepts and others.
(To be honest, technology can also destroy, poisons, delete, mislead, etc., but this is more a critique of applied technology, not the concept of technology itself.)
In order to understand technology as a concept, it may be useful to look at some related words: technical, technical, technician, technological, technical, technocracy and technophil
The root of technology is Greek: Tekhne (art, craft) and –LodgeS
Classroom training technologies are the tools, systems and techniques that facilitate, activate and encourage training.
This can happen in the form of a training system or platform such as the Khan Academy, which helps students practice new skills based in the Encyclopedia Community such as Wikipedia, which allows people to treat and share knowledge, interactive white boards that allow students to study through teacher practice. Training technology can be simple (as a calculator) or advanced (as virtual reality).

Other less “visible” examples of technology in education
Of course, not all “technologies” are hardware or software. If technology is the application of tools, systems and knowledge to achieve a goal, the examples of teaching technology are really open.
Carrie Mapping Programs: The collection, organization and deliberate distribution of knowledge
Assessment: Attempting to measure the student’s understanding or mastering content or skills. In this sense, the function of technology is to do something abstract (understanding) specifically (letter or number). In this case, the effect of educational technology is a quantitative determination and qualification.
The concept of public education: the intention to train all citizens through the transformation of text dollars into buildings (schools) and systems (areas, classes, graphics, etc.) that help children study
Socratic Seminar: A learning system through a managed inquiry and discussion
Other examples: conferences for parents-teachers, school schedules, reports for reports, organization of classrooms by age, categorization of knowledge and skills in “content areas” and even school electricity and water supply.
