Read and be familiarized with the three domains of educational technology which can
be found on page 17. After reading, briefly discuss the differences of these domains.
You may elaborate through examples :)
1. Technology as a tutor. It is a technology that serves as the support system of
the teachers to tutor a student via educational programs. Technology can be
observed anywhere, hence, technology as a tutor brings convenience to the
learners since they can access anytime the lessons being programmed by
their instructors or teachers. Technology-based tutorials helps the learners to
be more self-directed and encouraged due to the embedded tutorials that can
take them to a series of specific task. One example of technology-based
tutorial is when our teacher in Cell and Molecular Biology provided a video
and instructed us to watched a virtual laboratory about the basic cell culture.
Through this procedure we learn interesting things about basics of cell
culture, laboratory set-ups, safety and aseptic techniques during our most
convenient time.
The next one is the technology as a learning tool, this third domain is utilized
to make the teaching and learning process easier and more effective.
Examples of important learning technology tools are tutorials, simulations,
productivity tools like Microsoft, spreadsheet etc., and communication tools
such as messengers and email. These learning tools are essential in
disseminating information, enhancing, and assessing the students learning.
