Reflection on Different Eras of the Educational Technology

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone👋. This is my first time write my blog and I was excited. On 10/12/2021 was the first class for Emerging Technologies in Teaching and Learning subject. 

Today, I want to write about reflection on different eras of the educational technology. There was 4 eras of the educational technology which are Pre-microcomputer era (1950s-late 1970s), Microcomputer era (late 1970s-1990s), Internet era (1993-1998) and Mobile technologies era (2005-now). 


First Era: Pre-microcomputer era (1950s-late 1970s)



The first era was pre-microcomputer and it started 1950s until late 1970s. On 1950, the first computer was used for instruction, MIT pilots are trained using flight simulators. On 1959, the IBM 650 teaches binary arithmetic to school children in NYC. Start 1960 until 1970, the universities use main-frames systems for programming. In early 1790s, computer-assisted instruction (CAI) emerges; universities using mainframes and mincomputers in schools and schools begin using computers for instruction and administration (mid to late 1970s). Luehrmann coins the term computer literacy as CAI movement declines; in 1978, Molnar warns that non-computer literate students will be educationally disadvantaged (late 1970s). 


Second Era: Microcomputer era (late 1970s-1990s)


The first microcomputers enter schools on 1977. Microcomputer is a complete computer on a small scale, designed for use by one person at a time. An antiquated term, a microcomputer is now primarily called a personal computer (PC), or a device based on a single-chip microprocessor. Common microcomputers include laptops and desktops. Integrated Learning Systems (ILS) are identified as cost-effective solutions for instruction; movement away from stand-alone systems towards central servers with connected machines (mid 1980s-1990s).


Third Era: Internet era (1993-1998)



The third era was internet era. In this era, the World Wide Web (www) is born on 1993. This gave many benefits to people especially students. Online and distance learning was increases (1994) and virtual schooling begins (1995). I remember that my father bought computer and modem internet. Internet was slow but I never give up to dial up until internet was connected😂. International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) creates standards to guide technology skills for learners and teachers (1998).


Fourth Era: Mobile technologies era (2005-now)


Mobile technology is the technology used for cellular communication. Mobile technology has evolved rapidly over the past few years. Social networking gains mainstream popularity (2005). Amazon releases the first ebook reader, Kindle (2007). Partnership for 21st Century Skills creates framework (2008). iPad, the first handheld computer, released by Apple (2010). Since the start of this millennium, a standard mobile device has gone from being no more than a simple two-way pager to being a mobile phone, GPS navigation device, an embedded web browser and instant messaging client, and a handheld gaming console. Many experts believe that the future of computer technology rests in mobile computing with wireless networking. Mobile computing by way of tablet computers is becoming more popular. Tablets are available on the 3G and 4G networks. Mobile technology has different meanings in different aspects, mainly mobile technology in information technology and mobile technology in basketball technology, mainly based on the wireless technology of wireless devices (including laptops, tablets, mobile phones, etc.) equipment information technology integration

Integrating Theory into Practice

Image
 In this week, we have learned about 4 subtopics which are Instructional Models, Bloom's Digital Taxonomy, The 4 C's and Multiple Intelligences.  1) Instructional Models Firstly, we have learned technology integration strategies based on learning theories. There are 6 theories which are Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) Theory, Schema Theory, Cognitive Load Theory, Situated Learning Theory, Gagne’s Theory of Instruction and Constructivism Theory.  Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) Theory This is not one single theory but a generic term used to describe all the perspectives that focus how our cognitive processes such as attention, perception, encoding, storage, and retrieval of knowledge. It uses a two store model where stimuli enter the Sensory Register and from there go to Short Term Memory.  Here through rehearsal and encoding they can get stored in Long Term memory.  The retrieval process can access this information from LTM and bring it to the Working Memory for u

Reviewing Need Analysis

 Hello, everyone! Assalamualaikum! So, after all of the groups have given their presentations, today's class (February 11th, 2022) is focusing on the final project. Our update on the goggle sheet was evaluated by Madam. She explained what should be written in each column. She corrects some of the writing in the groups that isn't appropriate for the lesson. We definitely see her intentions for the analysis writing. We also made certain changes in response to madam's request. Madam has already stated that she wants to show and teach about an animation video creator that we can utilise during the design phase in the next session. So keep an eye out!
