THIS WAS ONE OF OUR FIRST CLASSES, AND HERE WE HAVE SOME INTERESTING POINTS ABOUT TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES.
DEFINING TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES
1.-How many types of
resources are there?
There are also digital and analog resources, analog resources
such as textbooks, the overhead projector, and the videocassette recorder (VCR)
are still used extensively in both corporate and educational settings, and resources like videocassettes, multimedia, curriculum materials, professional
books, digital video disks, and CD-ROM”
Analog media are also still in widespread use in higher education,
chalkboards, whiteboards, and overhead projectors serve a valuable function in
enabling instructors to generate verbal and visual cues spontaneously to supplement
lectures
2.-How are resourced appropriately used?
The term appropriate is used to modify
resources to indicate that the hardware and software used in education should
be selected with consideration of their suitability for and compatibility with
educational goals. They should be selected through a process that meets professional
standards and, on the positive side, encourages the use of “media that
emphasize the diversity of our society as a multicultural community.”
These meanings of appropriate pertain to educational use in
general, for example, the selection of materials for a school media-center
collection or a corporate resource-center collection. When the resources are
being considered for use as part of an instructional lesson or program, other
issues come to the fore.
3.-How have the
evolution of resources and emerging technologies affected the educational field?
Resources can be
used to facilitate learning because they are specifically designed for learning
purposes. These are usually called “instructional materials or resources.”
other resources exist as part of the normal, everyday world, but can be discovered,
applied, and used for learning purposes.
Resources are sources of support for learning, including
support systems and instructional materials and environments. Resources can
include whatever is available to help individuals learn and perform competently
resources play an integral role in facilitating learning and improving
performance.
All these changes have
significantly affected everyone, especially those who were accustomed
to working and studying on the traditional dais, all this has been for them a
technological revolution, now for everything is used and technological
resources are needed.
4.-How digital have tools
changed the landscape of educational technology?
The early identification and the ongoing
identity crises in the field of educational technology are inextricably
connected with the emerging technologies of the day. If history
is any indicator,
educational technology will
continue to maintain a central focus on the use of emerging technology resources to improve learning, have
totally changed the whole landscape because since the use of the internet and
new technologies began to be introduced, it was something new and novel for
everyone, although the use of the internet has always been expensive because
it has become a necessity to have to hire such services, both for school tools
and for work tools
5.-According to the
reading, how are settings and people used as resources?
The setting in which learning and performance take place is
internal or external, simple or complex, the ability to organize it
appropriately is essential for educational technology professionals.
These people have advanced knowledge and experience dealing
with specialized learning resources. They are often used when the knowledge and
experience of the facilitator and/or learners need to be augmented with the
advanced knowledge and understanding that these specialists can provide.
We take from each environment the tools that
are useful to us for the development of our activities and tasks in the same
way as people, people share their knowledge and the use of their resources,
that way we all share information about how we use resources and how we apply
them.
6.-What ethical issues
are to be considered in the use of resources?
Issues such as cost, accessibility, and equitable
allocation of resources have become increasingly important in recent years. A
central ethical concern for educational technology professionals is the effort
to ensure equitable access to resources for all learners.
7.-What assumptions mentioned by the author have changed after the pandemic?
For me many things have changed after the
pandemic, although we are still in a pandemic, the use of technological
resources has increased, and many people decided to stay at home and continue
studying at a distance, for reasons of practicality or time, and with that, we
have had to learn to make better use of electronic devices no longer because we
like it but because it has become a necessity
Resources can take the form of the tools, materials,
devices, people, and settings that learners interact with to improve learning
and performance. Historically, the identity of the field is intertwined with
the use of the emerging technologies of any given era. In the latter half of
the 20th century, the field grew beyond the earlier, simpler, resource-driven conception of educational technology.
8.- What aspects are
you disagree with?
I really do not disagree with any point, what
I would like is for more federal funds to be available for all those people who
really can not have access to all the technological resources that we have because that limits the learning of many people in the world, that would be
great.
