HISTORY OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

During the Middle Age Advent of Scholastic Philosophy, Pierre Abelard introduced a technology of instruction which was really a new method of structuring and presenting materials that helped set the style of scholastic education. The use of technology in the process of learning and teaching has improved the way in which students learn throughout the years. The 19th century paved in the advent of effective technological development including the production of textbooks, use of blackboards, and improvement in writing implements like  pen and ink. In 1920, visual media became widely accepted and in 1926, educational films were used as instructional media. In the 21st century Technologies of the future only recently focused on computers, Internet current primary trend.

Computer literacy or knowledge of computer applications is a moving target teaching students technical skills for today is valuable computer-based materials are just one component of resources available to education system. Integration of technology as a tool to advance learning in the content adds to the effectiveness of teacher’s created activities.

Now a days being connected by phone and Internet really does unite people .People communicate with people and they feel closer to and forget about weak ties, their neighbors or acquaintances faraway.

Technology is everywhere, but there are also things that is hard to solve. For example the signal in our cellphones sometimes it do not have a signal if we go to a far place near the mountains. Second is the electricity, because there are really place here in the Philippines that until now they don’t have yet an electricity.

As a future teacher we must also think that even though the world is changing there are still people who cannot adopt that changes especially those people who are living near the mountains. That is why as a teachers we must be flexible and open minded in the real world.
