Educational technologies

Draft

Definition

Educational technologies are technologies that are used in education. Not to be confounded with educational technology - the field.

Families of technologies

DSchneider is not yet sure which categories to adopt and how to create a global taxonomy.

Basque and Lundgren-Cayrol (2003) found and analyzed 24 different typologies of ICT usage in schools. These authors suggest three kinds of typologies:

1. Typologies centered on the teaching/learning act
2. Typologies centered on the school and educational actors
3. Typologies centered on the learner.
