Teaching with Technology 

Simon Hooper, College of Education, University of Minnesota and Lloyd P. Rieber, Department of Instructional Technology, The University of Georgia

 

"Educational technology is often considered, erroneously, as synonymous with instructional innovation. Technology, by definition, applies current knowledge for some useful purpose. Therefore, technology uses evolving knowledge (whether about a kitchen or a classroom) to adapt and improve the system to which the knowledge applies (such as a kitchen's microwave oven or educational computing). In contrast, innovations represent only change for change sake. Given this distinction, it is easy to argue that educators are correct to resist mere innovation, but they should welcome educational technology."
