Technology supports teaching and learning.
Technological support of teaching includes design, delivery, and assessment of instruction. The effective educator will have, and continually develop, the knowledge and skills in learning technologies to be able to appropriately and responsibly use tools, resources, processes, and systems to retrieve, assess and evaluate information from various media. Responsible use of technology involves the consideration of ethical, social and human issues. An effective educator in our rapidly changing technological society will have the knowledge of technology and skills necessary to facilitate efficiency in completion of class, school, agency, or client administrative tasks. In addition the effective educator will use technology as a tool for educational research, a vehicle for personal and professional productivity, and in the pursuit of life-long learning.
