EDUCATION IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES

Educational technology in all aspects of

educational organization and management.

when you hear the phrase educational
technology.

common?
Are there words that are related ? If yes, how are
they related?
What conclusion can you draw on what most
people think educational technology is ?
Is this common concept on educational
technology adequate? Defend your answer.

MY TOOLS

Graphic Organizer helps your students children classify ideas and communicate more
effectively. Use graphic organizers to structure writing projects, to help in problem
solving, decision making, studying, planning research and brainstorming.

Graphic Organizers in the Classroom- Graphic organizers are one way for visual thinkers
to arrange their ideas. Graphic organizers have many names including visual maps,
mind mapping, and visual organizers. Although many students plan with paper and
pencil, technology tools can be very helpful because they allow easy editing. Graphic
organizers can be used in all phases of learning from brainstorming ideas to presenting
findings. They can be used individually or in large groups.

Advantages of Graphic Organizers : Why use graphic organizers in student projects?

Shouldn't students be writing paragraphs and reports? There are a number of answers
to these questions.
1. Are a way to encourage students to think about information in new ways. With
writing, it's easy for students to copy from one place to another. With graphic
organizers, you remove the words and focus on the connections.
2. Great tool for activities that ask students to review concepts and demonstrate their
understanding. They can easily make changes and take different perspectives. In
other words, it helps students clarity their thinking.
3. A huge amount of information can be shared on a single picture to provide the "big
view" of a topic.
4. Its easy to edit, revise, and quickly add to a visual map.
5. Graphic organizers can be used as a nice planning tool from information
identification to product development. Finally, they are great for visual thinkers or
those that need to practice their visual thinking.

MY PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO 1- GRAPHIC ORGANIZER: work in small groups

trace the development of educational technology

PORTFOLIO 2- GRAPHIC ORGANIZER : Work in small group.

Explain what educational technology is using a graphic
organizer.

PORTFOLIO 3- GRAPHIC ORGANIZER: Using three concentric

circles, show that educational technology, instructional
technology are much broader than educational media and
technology integration

PORTFOLIO 4- GRAPHIC ORGANIZER: Differentiate

educational technology from technology in education by the
help of two arrows. The direction of the arrows suggests that
they differ.
