- 4. Education technology: Beginnings The first administrative organizations in schools to manage instructional media were school museums. Its purpose was to collect and loan portable museum exhibits, films, photographs, charts, stereographic slides, and other materials to teachers for use in their classrooms.

- 5. Education technology: Beginnings World War II provided a boost for audiovisual education. Ways had to be found to train large numbers of military recruits and new industrial workers swiftly and effectively. During the 50s and 60s some television channels were set aside for educational purposes. During the 80s with the appearence of microcomputers many educators and public officials became enthusiastic about computers. Digitized communication and networking in education started in the mid 80s and became popular by the mid-90's, in particular through the World-Wide Web (WWW)
- 6. Education technology: Beginnings Today, the prevailing paradigm in the regular school system is Computer-mediated communication (CMC), where the primary form of interaction is between students and instructors. In addition, modern ICT provides education with tools for sustaining learning communities and associated knowledge management tasks. It also provides tools for student and curriculum management. In addition to classroom enhancement, learning technologies also play a major role in full-time distance teaching. Students are now growing up in a digital age where they have constant exposure to a variety of media
- 7. Education Technology: In the classroom Many technologies exist in schools to enhance instruction and to support student learning. Here we have four examples: 1. To help students build their capacity for research: Encyclopedias on CD-ROMs provide information, digital images, video, and audio, and also provide links to websites where students access tools such as live web cameras and global positioning satellites. Dictionaries and thesauruses are built into word processors. Through the Internet students can gain access to a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, including government documents, photographs, and diaries. 2. To make students’ inquiries more realistics: Technology can engage students in real-world activities by using graphing calculators, spreadsheets, and graphing software and electronic communication tools (e.g. Internet conferencing, e- mail, electronic discussion groups)
- 8. Education Technology: In the classroom To enable students to present information in appealing forms: With advanced technologies, students can present their original data or newly interpreted data by integrating digital video, audio, and text into word-processed documents, multimedia presentations, videos, or web-based documents. To offer students access to learning resources within and beyond the school: A variety of technologies (e.g. interactive television, Internet videoconferencing) provide students the opportunity to participate in a class that is located in a different school, in a different town, and even in a different state or country. Instructional technologies can also serve the instructional needs of students who may be unable to attend classes in the school building.
