Alli Jennings's List: Trial 2

• The 5 Keys to Educational Technology
• 1. Considered implementation. Any technology, whether physical or conceptual, has value--beyond the purely philosophical--when it is implemented and subsequently utilized by a population.
• 2. Appropriate tools, techniques, or processes. When thinking of educational technology, this segment of my definition is likely the piece that first comes to mind.
• • This is one of the keys to successful application of Ed Tech.
• 3. Facilitate the application of senses, memory, and cognition. It is in this component of my definition where I stepped the farthest away from the majority of existing definitions of the field.

• 4. Enhance teaching practices. Learning in our formalized education context does not exist in a vacuum; that is, we do not simply provide learners with access to information and resources with the expectation that they will learn through discovery.
• 5. Improve learning outcomes. Finally, all else might turn out to be simply exercises with no point if we are unable to improve learning outcomes.
