Abstract:
In the period of new progress and thus concerned for creating innovative approaches to
teaching. Modern developments of innovative technologies have provided new possibilities
to the teaching profession, but at the same time have placed more demands on teachers to
learn how to use these new technologies in their teaching. It is not necessarily the technology
that has to be innovative in the instructional process, but rather the approach to teaching and
learning using the technologies.
In this process of change, information communication technology (ICT) tools resulting from
new scientific and technological developments are present in every aspect of life, including
education. Knowledge related to the effective use of educational technologies has become
recognized as an important aspect of an educator’s knowledge base for the 21st Century. In
earlier stages of educational technology implementation, educators were taught in technology
classes that focused primarily on technology skills independent from the pedagogical or
content courses. As a result of educators’ experience in the school environment showing that
technical skills alone are not enough (because one could know how to operate a piece of
technology without knowing how to use it effectively to promote student learning), the focus
then shifted to preparing educators to integrate technology into their teaching.
