What is Educational Technology?

The mission of the Instructional Technology Program is to promote student achievement by supporting faculty, staff, and students in the effective and successful integration of technology into content curriculum.
Essential Elements of ICT Literacy

Educational Technology -
is "the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources."


Januszewski, A., Molenda, M. (Eds.). (2008). Educational Technology: A Definition with Commentary. New York: Taylor & Francis Group
Technology Integration -
​is when classroom teachers use technology to introduce, reinforce, extend, enrich, assess, and remediate student mastery of curricular targets. Integration is an instructional choice that generally includes collaboration and deliberate planning—and always requires a classroom teacher’s participation. Integration does NOT replace a teacher with a computer.
