Synopsis Educational technology is most simply and comfortably defined as an array of tools that might prove helpful in advancing student learning. Educational technology relies on a broad definition of the word "technology". Technology can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but it can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. Global Encyclopaedia of Educational Technology is a complete and extensive study of all recent developments that have taken place in the field. It is a must read for researchers, academicians, educationists, teachers and students. This reference can serve as a guide for graphic designers, instructional designers, web designers and all technical designers. Global Encyclopaedia of Educational Technology is an integration of different methods based on both learning theory and teaching practice. This encyclopaedia presents effective theory-and research-based strategies for integrating technology resources and technology-based methods into everyday classroom practices. It is written from the teacher's perspective, making it ideal for both novice and experienced computer users. Unique coverage of integrating technology into specific content areas demonstrates how to use technology to teach language arts, social studies, science, math, music art, physical education/health, and special education, rather than just providing generic strategies. For practicing teachers and computer users the book is a paradise.
