Elements of Educational Technology

In reviewing the article on the definition of educational technology, there were a couple of ideas that stood out to me. I thought it was interesting to see the progression and change in the definition itself throughout the years. Technology is a dynamic field so it makes sense that this definition would have to remain open to constant change and reevaluation. I was also very interested in the paradigm shift from a focus on controlling instruction to facilitating learning. This changed my thinking on how technology can be used. My experience with technology has been more focused in training and instruction. This article makes me consider ways to promote this "deeper" level of learning by focusing on the learner and the learning environment.
