Technology in Education: Concepts and Definitions Educational Technology has no agreed upon definition.
Technology is commonly thought of in terms of gadgets, instrument, machines, and devices.most (educators) will defer to technology as computers
-- Muffoletto(1994)-p.5 Integrating Education Technology into Teaching (IETIT)
about a decade ago, a history of technology in education since 1920 placed the emphasis on radio and television, with computers as an afterthought .
--Cuban, 1986 (IETIT) p.5

Any useful definition of educational technology, therefore, must focus on the process of applying tools for educational purposes, and the materials used.
In education, the combination of process and product merges instructional procedures with instructional tools.
Audiovisual movement: ways of delivering information that could be used as alternatives to lectures and books. Audiovisual communications: the branch of educational theory and practice concerned primarily with the design and use of messages which control the learning process. (Saettler, IETIE,p6) AECT- Association for Ed. Commo. and Technology.
1960s and 1970s Human and non-human resources ( teachers and media). Systematic approach to designing, developing, and delivering instruction matched to carefully identified needs. International Society for Performance Improvement. Validating and creating instruction.
Technology in Education: 1. School learning prepares students for the world of work. 2. Vocational training can be a practical means of teaching. ITEA (International Technology Education Association).
Instructional and supportive applications of computers. Computers began to be used in classrooms in 1960s until 1990 and was known as educational computing. By the mid-1990s, educational computing became known as educational technology. ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) holds the following views:
Whats a Computer??
Hardware
Communicating with the Hardware Any electromechanical device that accepts input, processes input and produces output.
Software ( Types of Operating Systems) Applications Software (used for Education, Entertainment, or Edutainment)
Software:
1. Word Processing 2. Spreadsheets 3. Database Management 4. Integrated Packages 5. Graphics Software 6. Communications Software 7. Other Tools
Software:
Step 1. The controller gets an instruction from the systems internal memory and puts it in a register. Step 2. The controller directs the ALU to do necessary computations. Step 3. The controller gets the result from the register and stores it once again in internal memory.
The communications function is optional, but it is vital for communicating with other systems. For example: Modem and Fax.
