41 comentarios:

  1. I like the definition of Ana Karen,Andrea, Monse, Alicia and Brian about the educational
    technology. I believe technology is a tool very important in our days not only for students but also for all people since through technology we have access to new information without going out of the house. Also, technology makes education enjoyable, that is to say, teacher have the option to use it to make classes more interactive and interesting. In that way It is easy to attract students´attention .
    on the other hand, I believe that educational technology allow students take online courses and this is a great advantage for those who can not attend school for health or another complication.

    I particularly liked Gabriela, Jordan and Dulce's definition of Educational Technology, especially because they included the word "support". That is a key concept right there.
    It is true that pedagogical technology has become a pivotal element in contemporary classroom, mostly in the first world, and that implementing strategies that include the use of technology under ideal conditions is not only feasible, but fruitful. However, regardless of how useful ET can be, I don't think it can ever replace the core elements of traditional pedagogy. Having a teacher who can clarify the trickiest elements of a text, or who can give you advice on how to master certain topic or skill, is something that ET hasn't been able to replace (yet). It is an incredibly handy auxiliary in the classroom, yes, but not a replacement.

  3. I liked Sarhai, Ileana, Shirley and Ana´s definition about Educational Technology because they say that the Educational TechnoIogy looks for facilitate the learning by creating and using technological process and resourcess, and I agree with this definition.
    Nowadays, technology has become in a useful tool that facilitates and improves our learning as students.Nevertheless, not only students can have advantage about the use of technology in their learning but onother people can learn a lot of things by using the technology and teachers can create their classes more efficient by the ET as well. Therefore, in the education, the technology plays an indispensable role for the learning and teaching.

    I liked the definition of educational technology mentioned by Sarhaí, Ileana, Shirley and Ana since I consider this academic discipline focuses on how teachers can enhance education through a proper use of the wide range of different media. It is true that technology has reformed the manner in which people are taught. Nevertheless, to use educational technology, a teacher is expected to have technological skills, to be creative and to keep up-to-date with emerging technology.

    I particularly liked Ulises, Hugo, and Miguel’s definition of Educational Technology. Nowadays we use technology in classroom and we use it as a tool for searching information, translations, but sometime we don’t use it correctly. Therefore, we can improve the learning process using this tools. However, we can’t replace the educational pedagogy in the classroom because it has an important role and as students we need a teacher that guides us to understand a topic and clarify our questions to acquire knowledge through teacher experiences. Educational technology could be an auxiliary in this days to facilitate our daily learning.

    After reading all the definitions we have for what "Educational Technology" is, I defined it as the technology that people use to improve their education. This is, educational technology helps us, as students, to improve our education at school, at home or wherever our education could be improved. I realized our definitions are pretty similar; however, “Gabriela, Jordan and Dulce” mentioned that educational technology gives effective teaching and learning. This is so true because nowadays most of our teachers use technology during their classes so in that way they catch our attention by using attractive slides and examples of everyday life. As I wrote before, technology helps us to improve our education in a huge way because technology is increasing every single day.

    I liked the definition provided by Ulises, Hugo and Miguel because they included the use of both high and low tech in their definition. I think that when it comes to all this technological use sometimes one could end up forgetting that technology doesn’t necessarily have to be high-end tech in order to be used. Also, always keeping in mind how it will be used seems like a very important element. Having the technology available is a good thing but one should always keep a purpose and a plan on how to use them.

  9. After reading the above concepts, I liked the concept of Suemi and sindy, because I really think that It is a clear idea about Educational technology is. The concept mentioned a part that is very interesting because said that with the technological processes, we can make more easy the way that we learn, and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. I really think that this process facilitates our life in different ways.

    I really liked the definition given by Vivi,Jannet, Oscar and Saúl. As far as I´m concerned this concept is focused on how the technology will help the education to thrive using it as a tool for teaching and learning in a easier way. This concept is quite concrete about the important role that technology plays in our life to get better resoults as students and as future teachers.

  11. I'm totally agree with Vivi, Janet, Oscar and Saul because it says that the learning is with the appropiate tools that are easy to use and easy to learn and all about this is important to get results that will improve our kind of life in the present and future. This concept is clear and even it has few words that word were the same way that I think when I explain about that topic. Of course, the use of these concept in our lifes as it is write there is the correct way to me to work wtih education and technology .

    I really liked Dulce's definition of Educational Technology, she mentions that technology is support. i for one agree definetelly with her becuase in my oipinion state of the art technology should be used wisely so that it has a clear goal in mind to be practical, it has become a very importat element in contemporary classroom, principally in the first world, and that implementing strategies that include the use of technology under ideal conditions is not only feasible, but fruitful.However I recommend thinking about how to use it before going over it so that we can take advantage of it the best we can to enhance learning properly.

  13. After reading other concepts I realize of the one that I chose is the one that I believe is more successful (Suemi and Cindy). I think this subject is going to help us to use the tools that had been developed over time. In a world that is constantly updated do not knowing this kind of tools can make us stay behind in matters of technology and out of the competence and that’s why I think that the role that educational technology plays in our lives as future and competent teachers is very important.

  14. I like Ulises, Miguel and Hugo’s definition “Educational Technology is effectively applying technological tools (low tech and high tech) so as to improve the learning process always keeping in mind this technological will be used”.
    I think that this definition is small, clear and accurate because they say what is and to what is used. They mention in their concept as well as many of the other concepts did the “tools” but they also emphasize the fact that are “technological” tools (not any tool) and they explain the use of this technological tools "to improve the learning process".

  16. I agree with Ulises and Hugos´s definition because their definition is clear, small and precise when say Educational Technology apply technological tools addition the difinition says what is and to what is used to improve the learning process.I think any level-headed educator would agree that guys must be able to use technology to be competitive in the workplace after graduation. I don’t foresee technology replacing passionate teachers educating their students. I simply see it as an important tool to help the education process and prepare students for the future.

  17. I´m agree with Sarhai, Ileana, Shirley and Ana´s definition of Educational Technology. I think that Technology is very important for us because it can help us to develop our skills as a future English teacher. We can improve the learning process using the technology but it is important know how we can use. Nowadays, the technology plays a very important role and also it is a tool very important for our education because we can learn to make a lot of things ; it is very useful and interesting and also practical. We as students have more advantages because it can help us in the moment of doing homework.

  18. The definition I liked the most is the one from Vivi, Jannet, Oscar and Saúl. This is because it focuses on taking advantage of technology by not only the use of appropriate tools but also in enhancing the teaching practices. These days that it seems like technology is an important key of our everyday life, it is an optimal idea to keep on finding ways in which we take control of it and not let it go on the inverse. Furthermore, it is believed that by making use of technology even if it is just a little inside and outside the classroom, pupils will respond better than teaching without any. In addition, I would say that by using these tools, the environment of the class could have a remarkable improvement. However, it also needs the commitment of both, teacher and student so it can work more than fine taking advantage of useful material: from low tech to high tech.

  20. I like the deifinition done by Vivi's team.The technology has been totally useful for everyone of us and it is good use it in our education. This has eased our life. For example, We used to use books and dictionaries for researching and we still use them;however, it is easly researching on internet quickly and easy.Also, it has been helpful in the improvement of our english skills.

  21. I agree with the definition given by Elsa’s team; they explain in a concrete way what educational technology is. Furthermore, their definition seems to my team´s. Nowadays, we must keep up to date with the current affairs that technology offers us and use as a useful tool for improving education. It is an easy way of creating new programs that help us to teaching and learning.

  22. I really like the comment that my team posted before. Educational technology refers to the resources used to assist the process of education and learning. It can range from the most basic such as the blackboard or paper until more complexes as computers, projectors, audiovisual media in general.

  23. I agree with the definition that my team and I chose; I think the definition it’s pretty clear and also objective. It says that it has to be with the practice of learning and improving by creating, using and improving appropriate technological processes which we can use for facilitating our ways of teaching and learning.

    The definition that I agreed the most with is from Fer, Oliver and Abinadab. From the beginning, it explains in details what Educational Technology is and what is does. I personally would like to encounter something new in a most basic way that it allows me to truly understand of "what it is " completely. They selected this definition from the slideshare which says that it is a systematic way of implementing teaching and learning and so on. This states the "how" by means of putting the meaning: a "systematic way" and of course, it has to include "teaching and learning" as for the "educational" part that we understand. It also says the second part of its function, which is to bring an more effective aim towards a human learning, communication and employing the combination on non-human resources. It gives you the layout of we, as humans, using whatsoever digital or environmental resources to evaluate or instruct a specific object or research. This is exactly what happens when Technology sums up with Education.

  25. I liked Sarhaí, Ileana, Shirley and Ana’s definition because it caught my attention since I read that “it facilitates learning by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources.” This is something true because nowadays both teachers and students teach/learn easier by implementing technology. So the use of technology becomes classes more interesting and through the use of different technological resources students do learn and have fun while they do it. At the same time, using this amazing tool, students try to be up- to –date with the technology because it is something essential in any aspect of life.

  26. I liked the definition of Vivi, Jannet, Oscar and Saul. I think that it is a very accurate definition and it sums up very well the whole concept. I Think that at the end, Educational Tecnology is, as they say, the implementation of techniques that facilitate aspects of our lives, in this case the education.

  27. I believe that everyone had a great definition and its main point was to find the best way possible to use technology in our learning. Everyday there are new innovations in technology and its our responsibility to find the best way there is to apply such tools in our learning.

  28. In my personal opinion one of the definitions that fits in a accurate way the meaning of Educational Technology is the one from Ulises, Miguel, and Hugo's definition. The mentioned that Educational Technology is effectively applying technological tools (low tech and high tech) so as to improve the learning process always keeeping in mind that the technologicala will be used.
    In fact, the word "effectively" was the one that cought my attention because we have to use the technology in the correct way in order to have effective knowledge. they also mentioned the low tech and high tech so i believe that as a teacher we have to use the tool that we are able to have it doesnt matter if it is low tech.we have to deal with the conditions.

    The definition that Hugo, Ulises and Miguel shared with us is the one that caught my attention because it was short but accurate. According to their definition Educational Technology are the different tools (internet, computer, tablets, phones) that help us to improve the way we learn and teach. Such tools have had a big impact in our life to the point that it has changed. Now, we need to be updated of the changes technology has and don't forget that this technology will always be used and replaced through the time. I like so many other definitions but I can't metion all but I think that we all catched what Technology means and its relation with education.

  30. In my point of view, the definition of Ana karen, Alicia, Monse, Brian and Andrea is one of the most clear definitions, I also believe that every definition above adds something to the common knowledge of what "Educational Technology" is. As we already read above in the comments, the concept of Educational Technology is all about using technology and its new techniques in your favour to improve your skill and to do your school and also daily life easier.

  31. I think one of the best and most precise definitions of Technology of Education is what my team wrote Gabriela / Jordan / Dulce: Educational technology is some items you need to use to support the practice of Effective teaching and learning. As I read I believe that it is the best because without both detours says what is based on and refers to the teaching and learning issues.

  32. Jordan Alberto Dominguez López. [In my opinion i think that the definition of my group "Gabi, Dulce" is the clearest; It is short and comprehensive. The ET is such an important affair. We need some items in orden to be up to date with the technology. nowadays technology is very important for educating]

  33. In my personal opinion, every definition is good; however I have to choose only one. I choose the definition of Sarahi, ILeana, Shirley and Ana because is easier to understand and suistable. Also, I liked it because they defined the concept about Educational Technology objectively.

    I prefer this definition because it says technology is a tool that helps teaching and learning, it is supposed to facilitate both issues. Also I consider that with this tools we will achieve more outcomes in the process of learning if we choose the most suitable tool. As well as it helps us to research information easily and communicate better.

    The concept I chose is the one that Sarahí,Ileana,Shirley and Ana wrote because I think it fits the most on what educational technology is nowadays. I do believe we as students must create and use appropiate technological processes and resources just as my classmates mentioned on their definition not only in our learning processes but in our future teaching experiences. Something that I really liked is that we should use media because I think our generation is growing with all this media as an important tool in our learning process.

  38. after read all the definitions in my point of view all of them are very clear and correct because there are different perspective in what is "Educational technology" so i think that Educational technology is a very good tool due to the easy way in the search of information,besides it offer different teaching methods and create new ones moreover any person can develop their skills usign this important tool

  39. There are many concepts of Educational Technology, but they all are similiar to each other. They all try to explain the same concept but with different words: Educational Technology facilitates our learning by teaching us how to use all the technology we have nowadays. So I chose the definition of Sarhaí, Ileana, Shirley & Ana, that says that educational technology "Is the study of facilitating learning by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources, it emphasizes communication skills and approaches to teaching/learning through the use of diverse innovative media." This is the concept I liked more because I think it is very complete, clear and understandable.
