What is the purpose of Educational Technology?
Quote from Martin Weller (EdTechie)
“I don’t mean that title as a rhetorical, smartass, question, but rather a more fundamental one. It’s probably not one we ask ourselves very often, we tend to be caught up in the application of a particular technology, or trying to solve a specific problem. But at the more abstract level, what do you think educational technology is for?”
Is the purpose of EdTech to:
🎓 Improve learning performance?
🎓 Making learning more accessible/flexible?
🎓 Financial benefits?
🎓 Student experience and choice?
🎓 Improved pedagogy?
🎓 Reflection on practice?
🎓 Administration and monitoring?
