Whats the difference between a technology and a tool? Whats the difference between a technology and an invention? Whats the difference between a skill and a technology?

Technology Quote
This technology will cut us off from the real world, ruin our memory and reasoning abilities, make users lazy, and make gossip and half truths possible.
Socrates on Writing and the Alphabet

Technology
Machine View: Technology is very closely related with machines or physical systems of some sort. Social View: Technology includes physical systems and the organiza&on of knowledge for the achievement of prac&cal purposes as well as any tool or technique of doing or making, by which capability is extended.

Educa&on

Educa&on, OED
1. The process of bringing up a child, with reference to forming character, shaping manners and behavior 2. The process of looking aler a person or animal with respect to food and other physical needs 3. The culture or development of personal knowledge or understanding, growth of character, moral and social quali&es, etc., as contrasted with the impar&ng of knowledge or skill. 4a. The systema&c instruc&on, teaching, or training in various academic and non-academic subjects given to or received by a child, typically at a school; the course of scholas&c instruc&on a person receives in his or her life&me. Also: instruc&on or training given to or received by an adult 4b. The training of an animal. 4c. Instruc&on or enlightenment as imparted by a par&cular thing, circumstance, etc.; an educa&ng force or experience.

Formal educa6on: the hierarchically structured, chronologically graded educa&on system, Non-formal educa6on: any organized educa&onal ac&vity outside the established formal system (corporate training, Khan Academy, book clubs) Informal educa6on: the truly lifelong process whereby every individual acquires aqtudes, values, skills and knowledge from daily experience (youtube, paren&ng, Sesame Street, grandmas recipes).

What is Intelligence?
Cogni6ve View Focus of intelligence is within the individual. --Piaget, Binet Social View Intelligence is distributed among the person, tools, symbols, community. --Vygotski, Pea, Perkins

Cole, M., & Wertsch, J. V. (1996). Beyond the individual-social an&nomy in discussions of Piaget and Vygotsky. Human Development (0018716X), 39250-256. Available at hNp://lchc.ucsd.edu/People/MCole/Beyond%20the%20individual-social %20an&mony.pdf

Distributed Cogni&on
Distributed Cogni&on is an approach to studying all aspects of cogni&on to dene cogni&on-- from a biological, social and organiza&onal perspec&ve. Integral to the concept of cogni&on and intelligence is the integrated rela&onship among the individual, people, tools, systems, and ar&facts.

What is Educa&onal Technology

Older deni&on 1920-1970 (and today?)

Media born of the communica&ons revolu&on which can be used for instruc&onal purposes alongside the teacher, textbook, and blackboard. . . . The pieces that make up instruc&onal technology [include]: television, lms, overhead projectors, computers, and other items of hardware and solware. . . (p. 21) US Commission on Instruc&onal Technology, 1970

More Current 1970

Instruc&onal technology goes beyond any par&cular medium or deviceinstruc&onal technology is more than the sum of its parts. It is a systema&c way of designing, carrying out, and evalua&ng the whole process of learning and teaching in terms of specic objec&ves, based on research on human learning and communica&on, and employing a combina&on of human and nonhuman resources to bring about more eec&ve instruc&on.

Technocentric vs Systemic Thinking with Educational Technology

A technocentric approach focuses on a technology. A systemic approach, in contrast to a technocentric one, is concerned with the learning culture. --Papert

Technocentric: What can a SmartBoard do?

Systems View: What is a system?

A system is a group of interacting, interrelated, and interdependent components that form a complex and unified whole. A business A city A bathtub A forest A family A school A classroom

What are the social/system changes of these technologies?

Technology Wri&ng Physical Change Can write ideas down and check later. Mindset Change Do not have to rely on memory. Access to ideas from distant places Expanded job opportuni&es for a person. Expanded social opportuni&es for a person. Images, text, and sound interact with user on a board Easy access to instant communica&on with friends and acquaintances. A lot of sharing of personal informa&on. More educa&onal op&ons for more people. Ques&ons about credits and seat &me Can access, edit, and collaborate on documents on any computer with internet/ wi Wealth of informa&on available on demand and portably.

The model of learning described in this plan calls for engaging and empowering personalized learning experiences for learners of all ages...It calls for using state-of-the-art technology and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) concepts to enable, motivate, and inspire all students to achieve, regardless of background, languages, or disabilities. --Arne Duncan, US Secretary of Education

Data and Personalized Learning: Adap&ve Learning Systems

An Adaptive Learning System is one that uses computers to deliver interactive and customized instruction to a learner. The term is often used synonymously with Intelligent Tutoring System. Typically, an adaptive system assesses, teaches, modifies, and reassesses a learner in a specific domain. Adaptive systems collect and use data such as types of errors, time on problem, and preferred learning style.

1) infrastructure-as-a-service, commonly referred to as virtualiza&on virtual machines, bandwidth, and storage, all scalable as needed. (Example Amazon Servers to host online school) 2) pla}orm-as-a-service (PaaS), the environment for developing and delivering applica&ons. (example, a group of developers use Heroku.com to develop a Python App) 3) solware-as-a-service (SaaS), solware designed to meet specic needs of an organiza&on (e.g Adobe Crea&ve Cloud or Google Apps)
