In my opinion, instructional technology means using hardware and software to motivate, educate, and inspire teachers and students to utilize higher level thinking skills and technology skills. For example, a teacher uses a promethean board (a type of smart/white board) to engage students and provide an access to formative evaluations. Instructional technology would include training the teacher how to use the board, modeling the board use with students until the teacher feels comfortable, and then collaborating with the teacher to advance the educator’s knowledge in further uses of the board. In addition, instructional technology means using the World Wide Web to stimulate and facilitate learning and teaching. For instance, using Web Tools 2.0 to help simplify an educator’s life and free more of her/his time for teaching and less time on organizing. One of my favorite tools would be an on line book mark service. Thus, whether the teacher floats or is at home, he/she can readily navigate to their favorite web pages without having the issue of having saved the bookmark at school and needing it at home.
