Education needs to utilize and enhance its functions by making use of these technological advancements. Students learn faster, assignments made easier and studying more interesting thru the use of computers and the internet. School administrators, department heads and other persons in supervisory positions can avail of this information technology to enhance their functions. Professional and student teachers therefore will be greatly helped by this course. Educational Technology 2 is a new course in the education curriculum which has to come about from the need to adapt to a changing world. The need for information and knowledge before was provided by the books, print media, radio, and later the television. Now, so much advancement has been made in the field of technology. We are now living in a world of computers, internet, laptops, cellphones, iPod and other technological inventions, because they will be given the training and skills to use technology and its inventions as a tool for teaching and self-improvement.
Educational technology has been dynamic. The delivery of marketing education seems to be rapidly shifting toward pedagogy rich in experiential learning and strongly supported with educational technology. This study integrates and extends previous research efforts and investigates the simultaneous effects of multiple influences of technology and non-technology factors on learning outcomes. Responses were obtained across a marketing curriculum with technology-accustomed students. The findings suggest that the use of preferred instructional methods will enhance each of the three different measures of learning outcomes, while encouraging supportive class behaviors can increase self-report performance and course grade. Regardless of the dependent outcome measure, only one of the five instructional technology variables proved significant, suggesting that in contrast to previous studies that examined technology in isolation, when analyzed relative to other learning factors, technology’s influence is secondary. Implications are discussed with practical suggestions for the classroom and direction for further investigation.
Educational Technology 2 as I see, it seems to encourage educators as well as learners to combine education and technology. Educators can use technology in providing knowledge and skills to learners. It has become one of the important aids of education nowadays. With this, teachers must be advanced than there students and this is possible through attending seminars and workshops.
As a pre-service teacher and one day will be a “real” teacher, I will engage myself in things that will help me increase my knowledge and learning about educational technology. I must not limit my learning and as well as teaching in what I can see. This is because I am the teacher, students must most of the time learn from me and I also learn from my learners. But as an effective teacher, I must not rely on technology alone. I will always be remembering that education is not just about educational technologies, it’s all about learning, changing, and applying, learning, changing, applying and so on the things that is being taught in the real life situation.
