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:
- Typologies centered on the teaching/learning act
- Typologies centered on the school and educational actors
- Typologies centered on the learner.
A flat typology of major categories
School and student administration
Resource management, databases, libraries
- Repositories
Cognitive tools, Professional Tools
Communication and collaboration
ICT as a subject
Microworlds, Simulation, Experimentation, Games
Teaching tools and assessment
Tutoring and exercising
