History of Educational Technology
and the ICT Revolution
CONTENT- First revolution was said
to be comprised of films, radio, television and satellite broadcasting, while
the second to comprise telecommunications and microcomputers in mathematics
instruction (Paisley, 1985). The integration of telecommunications and
microelectronic technology in computing was termed a “third revolution” and
came to be what is called Information Technology (IT). The current trend in ICT
has brought a phenomenon which can be termed a “fourth revolution” in IT. The first
revolution was mainly dominated by ‘paper and pencil’ way of instruction and
delivery of knowledge relied more on the teacher. The second revolution
can well be described when “new” or “modern” mathematics was introduced in many
countries of the world. It was during this time that calculators and computers
were also integrated in mathematics instruction. The third revolution was said
to promise not only a more productive person, a problem- solver and a life-long
learner, but also a better informed, rational and participative citizen. The
current “fourth revolution” in ICT has a globalization component force that has
replaced other revolutions and accelerated its influence worldwide.
EXPERIENCE- The revolution of ICT
and the application of it in education is a great help to the school as well as
to the students because it makes the teaching- learning active and made the
lessons easier to understand to students through showing video clips or
pictures. Educational Technology also helped to develop skills of the students
by creating web pages, posting the activities in social media, creating and
producing multimedia projects such as short film, poster, comic strips, etc.
REFLECTION- ICT Revolution had a
great impact to education and led to the development of educational technology.
As teachers, we should also use technology in instruction because in that way,
our students will participate. They got bore when we do lecture in the class.
What they like is more activities and hands- on.
APPLICATION- As future teachers, we
should:
Ø Provide activities with the use of
computers.
Ø Implement the learner- centered
approach and act as facilitators.
Ø Give the students multimedia
projects.
