According to this textbook, how are the terms "educational technology" and "instructional technology" related?
Instructional technology is a subset of educational technology.
What is one thing educators have learned from the history of technology in education?
Despite technological innovations, human teachers will always be very important.
Studies have shown that students need this in order to decrease the Digital Divide.
Access to technologies accompanied by instruction on appropriate uses
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), an educational technology professional organization, has developed these to guide students, teachers, and school administrators.
National Educational Technology Standards
When students claim that materials they found online were ones they created themselves, it is called this.
cybercheating
Some technology integration strategies are designed to foster this because Bandura's theory holds that some students who are innately capable sometimes do not learn because they lack it.
self-efficacy
Which of the following knowledge domains does not belong to the Tech-PACK model?
theoretical knowledge
Which of the following is a situation where a directed technology integration strategy would be an appropriate solution?
Skills to be learned are clearly defined and require a specific behavioral response
Which of the following is an example of a technology integration strategy that could help facilitate either directed or constructivist models?
To remove logistical hurdles to learning
Which of the following is a typical technology integration strategy based on constructivist learning models?
showing video-based problems that students solve through small group work
Which is an acknowledged benefit of drill and practice software?
immediate feedback
These are the two categories people usually use to describe tutorial software functions.
linear and branching
Which of the following is not a benefit offered by simulations?
offers alternate instruction
What is a typical classroom application for instructional games?
to foster automatic recall of prerequisite skills
This is usually one characteristic of an Integrated Learning System (ILS).
has software that spans several grade levels
This is one of the controversies surrounding use of word processing in schools:
effects of word processing on students' handwriting
Since the release of products such as this, teachers and students can now use software tools to create, edit, and share documents synchronously (at the same time) over the Internet.
Google Docs
These tools take over the task of doing arithmetic functions so that students can focus on higher level mathematics concepts.
spreadsheets
This built-in feature of many word-processing programs can create problems if it replaces words with ones the user did not intend.
auto correction
Though using this kind of software does not assure an organized, coherent talk or lecture, its emphasis on breaking information into component parts can promote a more organized approach.
presentation software
The function of an IEP generator is to:
assist teachers in preparing IEPs
Which kind of software tool would a teacher choose in order to develop a test item bank?
test generator
A teacher could use this kind of software to analyze and do descriptive statistics on student responses in an action research project.
statistical software package
If a social studies teacher wanted to poll students anonymously about their opinions on a local issue, she might use this tool to gather their data:
online survey tool
Which of these tools would be of most use to geography teachers?
GPS systems
This technology had its roots in a concept originated by Vannevar Bush in his landmark 1945 article "As We May Think."
hypermedia
In hypermedia authoring, this planning step can help save time and make sure students include what they want in their products.
storyboarding
These tools, which can be read from a computer screen, on mobile devices, or as print books with interactive buttons, can provide support for young readers.
interactive storybooks
This is a popular line of research on the instructional benefits of hypermedia.
impact on student engagement
This is a popular integration strategy for interactive presentation hypermedia
game-based reviews
Since libraries typically get students for only a brief training period, focused training in this area is usually left to English and language arts teachers
information literacy
Some educators feel that feel that time spent on this would be better spent teaching word processing
Cursive writing
New forms of literacy are much more contingent on this than were traditional literacies
social interactions
This process of using images and audio to tell the stories of lives, events, or eras can enrich students' literacy development
digital storytelling
Using this strategy, students share their written works in forums such as websites, electronic books, multimedia slide shows, and news broadcasts.
digital publishing
The so-called "math wars" reflect a conflict between those who believe which two things?
instruction should be teacher-directed or student-centered
While these tools are usually used more at the elementary level, researchers report that they can also improve high school students' attitudes toward mathematics.
virtual manipulatives
This software is often used to facilitate activities such as planning a fund-raising activity or analyzing data from students' counts of colors in a bag of M&Ms or other candies.
spreadsheets
Technology can play an important and integral role in this kind of science instruction, since it can help students engage in real-world investigations and communicate findings.
inquiry-oriented
Though virtual schools propose that these can be effective, some science organizations object to them as poor substitutes for "the real thing."
virtual science labs
This is one of the major issues in using technologies in social studies.
costs of high-quality materials
Which of the following is not one of the perils of the information explosion?
students have too much information on hand to synthesize
Using this approach, the experiences and observations of traveling teams and the online learning materials are delivered at the same time so that students are able to make connections between what is happening in the real world and their studies.
Adventure learning
These kinds of technologies, which allow for visualization, analysis, and measurement of physical features and phenomena, are becoming popular in the K-12 social studies classroom.
geospatial
This popular geography resource is now available in 13 languages and has more than a third of the world's land surface and half of the world's population in high-resolution imagery.
Google Earth
