Education Technology Definition

Study of best ways to integrate computer and other multimedia technologies into existing learning environments and creation of new learning environments made possible by these technologies. This field concerns how technology can be used to address traditional educational challenges and the challenges that new technologies themselves create.

I think it is important in this field to not only look at the ways that technology can improve the educational experience but also what new problems arise from the use of these new technologies.

Educational Technology Journal

I looked at 2 Educational Technology Journals:

• Educational Technology Research and Development
• I could definitly see the articles in this as being good ideas for clase project for EME5054 or future classes I will take in my Ed Tech degree.
• This Journal is on Ed. Tech website and I was able to the full text or articles on the UF Libary website.
  
• This is an article I found interesting IDEA: Identifying Design Principles in Educational Applets. I might being making educational applet for my Game Design Class.
• International Journal on E-Learning
• Found this journal interesting because I interested in on Course Management systems (CMS) particularly Open Source Options.
• I found a review of the open source CMS Moodle but was not able to find a link to it outside of the UF Library system. The College Education uses Moodle of its online courses I believe.
  

$100 Laptop

So here is a test of posting a posting a youtube video. It's also a video about a project I am interested, "The $100 Laptop". I believe that this is related to Education Technology because it could bring computers into many school rooms in the USA and around the world.
