    • Educational technology (also called learning technology) is the  study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by  creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and  resources."[1] The term educational  technology is often associated with, and encompasses, instructional  theory and learning theory. While instructional technology covers the  processes and systems of learning and instruction, educational technology  includes other systems used in the process of developing human capability.  Educational Technology includes, but is not limited to, software, hardware, as  well as Internet applications and activities.

      • EdTech definition

    • Problem Based Learning and Inquiry-based  learning are active  learning educational technologies used to facilitate learning. Technology which includes physical  and process applied science can be incorporated into project, problem,  inquiry-based learning as they all have a similar educational philosophy. All  three are student centered, ideally involving real-world scenarios in which  students are actively engaged in critical thinking activities. The process that  students are encouraged to employ (as long as it is based on empirical research)  is considered to be a technology. Classic examples of technologies used by  teachers and Educational Technologists include Bloom's Taxonomy and  Instructional Design.

    • Gracious ProfessionalismTM

       

      Dr. Woodie Flowers, FIRST National Advisor  and Pappalardo Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts  Institute of Technology, coined the term "Gracious  ProfessionalismTM."

       

      Gracious Professionalism is part of the ethos of  FIRST. It's a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work,  emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the  community.

       

      With Gracious Professionalism, fierce competition and mutual  gain are not separate notions. Gracious professionals learn and compete like  crazy, but treat one another with respect and kindness in the process. They  avoid treating anyone like losers. No chest thumping tough talk, but no  sticky-sweet platitudes either. Knowledge, competition, and empathy are  comfortably blended.

       

      In the long run, Gracious Professionalism is part of  pursuing a meaningful life. One can add to society and enjoy the satisfaction of  knowing one has acted with integrity and sensitivity.

       

      CoopertitionTM

       

      CoopertitionTM produces innovation. At  FIRST, Coopertition is displaying unqualified kindness and respect in  the face of fierce competition. Coopertition is founded on the concept and a  philosophy that teams can and should help and cooperate with each other even as  they compete.

      Coopertition involves learning from teammates. It is  teaching teammates. It is learning from mentors. And it is managing and being  managed. Coopertition means competing always, but assisting and enabling others  when you can.
