INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY
In education, instructional technology is “the theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning,” according to the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) Definitions and Terminology Committee. [1] Instructional technology is often referred to as a part of educational technology but the use of these terms has changed over the years. [2] While instructional technology covers the processes and systems of learning and instruction, educational technology includes other systems used in the process of developing human capability.
Instructional Technology
Definition
Instructional technology is just what it sounds like: using computers, CD-ROMs, interactive media, modems, satellites, teleconferencing, and other technological means to support learning.
Discussion
Some educators believe the use of interactive, computer-based technology is crucial to improving classroom learning. These educators contend that advanced technology will fundamentally change the learning process and structure. Other educators believe technology is merely a tool that has minimal impact on the quality of learning.
How Instructional Technology Affects Learning
Curriculum–Advanced technology has the potential to significantly expand the breadth and depth of the curriculum. With the Internet, for example, students can access information far beyond the scope of their traditional textbooks. Curricula can be individualized and adapted to students’ specific learning styles. Instructional technology has the power to enhance overall knowledge accumulation, instead of just focusing on content mastery.
Instruction–Advanced technology could significantly affect the role of teachers, as well as the structure of schools and classrooms. The use of instructional technology changes the teacher’s role from expert to facilitator or coach. Plus, instruction is no longer limited to the school building or classroom. For example, students can take courses from a global satellite feed or on the Internet. Learning can take place at home, at work, or anywhere else that has the capacity for a television, phone, or computer.
Assessment–Instructional technology will focus more and more on building feedback loops directly into the learning process. Students can obtain frequent and accurate feedback, make corrections to their work, and structure learning experiences around their individual needs. Assessment can be monitored by offsite instructors, plus it can be ongoing and cumulative.
AUDIOVISUAL AIDS
AUDIOVISUAL AIDS Audiovisual aids are defined as any device used to aid in the communication of an idea. From this definition, virtually anything can be used as an aid, providing it successfully communicates the idea or information for which it is designed. In this chapter, we not only use the term “Audiovisual Aids” but “Instructional Aids,” “Teaching Aids,” “Audio Aids,” and “Visual Aids” as well. An audiovisual product is any audiovisual (AV) item such as still photography, motion picture, audio or video tape, slide or filmstrip, that is prepared singly or in combination to communicate information or to elicit a desired audience response. Even though early aids, such as maps and drawings, are still in use, advances in the audiovisual field have opened up new methods of presenting these aids, such as videotapes and multimedia equipment which allow more professional and entertaining presentations to be presented. Most of the visual aids covered in this chapter can be grouped into the following categories non-projected aids and projected aids.
audiovisual aid – materials using sight or sound to present information; “language tapes and videocassettes and other audiovisuals”

Whenever I’m alone
I can’t stop myself
Not to think the first time we’ve met.
It was the day when somebody
Broke my heart into pieces
And the day that I’ve felt my
Whole world would turn down
Because of losing somebody
Whom I loved most.
But then you came without
Any hesitation offering
Your presence
Just to make me feel
That I’m not alone.
And that was the start….
Now, It’s you who’ve made
Me feel again what I’ve felt

Paint Brush
I keep my paint brush with me
Wherever I may go,
In case I need to cover up
So the real me doesn’t show.
I’m so afraid to show you me,
Afraid of what you’ll do – that
You might laugh or say mean things.
I’m afraid I might lose you.
I’d like to remove all my paint coats
To show you the real, true me,
But I want you to try and understand,
I need you to accept what you see.
So if you’ll be patient and close your eyes,
I’ll strip off all my coats real slow.
Please understand how much it hurts
To let the real me show.
Now my coats are all stripped off.
I feel naked, bare and cold,
And if you still love Me with all that you see,
You are my friend, pure as gold.
I need to save my paint brush, though,
And hold it in my hand,
I want to keep it handy
In case somebody doesn’t understand.
So please protect me, my dear friend
And thanks for loving me true,
But please let me keep my paint brush with me
Until I love me, too.

Wow..
It takes me 48 years in surfing this site.
If it’s not because of our subject about educational technology,
I wouldn’t spend my time in making this blog
and trying to discover something about this site.
Well anyway, I am happy because I already have my own blog.
Hope I can use this blog not just because of this subject but
because I love writing.

A Special World
A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.
How many times can you subtract 7 from 83, and what is left afterwards? You can subtract it as many times as you want, and it leaves 76 every time.
Hello world!
