PCK 126 (Unit 1:Introduction to technology for teaching and Learning 1)

WWW stands for World Wide Web

It is important to know that this is not a synonym for the Internet. The World Wide Web, or just "the Web," as ordinary people call it, is a subset of the Internet. The Web consists of pages that can be accessed using a Web browser. The Internet is the actual network of networks where all the information resides. Things like Telnet, FTP, Internet gaming,

Technology

Refers to the combination of processes and products used in the application of knowledge

Offline Digital Tools and Apps

are those that can be used, manipulated or accessed even without internet connection. An example of this is KA LITE is an offline version of Khan Academy offering high-quality education by bringing the online learning accessible to the offline users. KA LITE is open-source software that runs on the local server and users can watch Khan Academy videos and do exercises as well as track student's progress, etc. everything without Internet connectivity

Online Digital Tools and Apps

are those that demands internet connection to be operated or accessed. An example of this is Google classroom which operates with the aid of internet connection.

Digital Literacy

has become much more than the ability to handle computers - just like traditional literacy and numeracy, it comprises a set of basic skills which include the use and production of digital media, information processing and retrieval, participation in social networks for creation and sharing of knowledge, and a wide range of professional computing skills (UNESCO IITE, 2011)

Instructional Technology

includes practical techniques of instructional delivery that systematically aim for effective learning, whether or not they involve the use of media. It is a basic purpose of the field of instructional technology to promote and aid the application of these known and validated procedures in the design and delivery of instruction (Gagne, R. M., 2013 as cited by Kurt, S., 2017).

Technology tools

instruction (Gagne, R. M., 2013 as cited by Kurt, S., 2017). 10.Technology Tools are electronic, digital or physical tool that can expand the human ability for performing tasks or generating products. For example: word processor, presentation program, spreadsheet program, graphics editing program, picture editor, movie editor, video format converter, web design editors, web design programs and platforms, web design script languages, web applets, voice recorder, digital video camera, etc.

Wiki

is a Web site that allows users to add and update content on the site using their own Web browser. This is made possible by Wiki software that runs on the Web server. Wikis end up being created mainly by a collaborative effort of the site visitors. A great example of a large wiki is the Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia in many languages that anyone can edit. The term "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian phrase, "wiki wiki," which means "super fast." I guess if you have thousands of users adding content to a Web site on a regular basis, the site could grow "super fast" (Christensson, P., 2006).

Internet

is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as they are connected to the Internet. It is generally defined as a global network connecting millions of computers

Flipped Classroom

is a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements are reversed. The flipped-classroom approach draws on such concepts as active learning, student engagement, hybrid course design, and course podcasting. The value of a flipped class is in the repurposing of class time into a workshop where students can inquire about lecture content, test their skills in applying knowledge, and interact in hands-on activities

Multimedia

is a sequential or simultaneous use of a variety of media formats in a given presentation or self-study program (Smaldino, 2005).

Podcast

is actually a portmanteau of iPod and Broadcast. Podcasting started as mostly an independent way for individuals to get their message out there and build a community of people with similar interests. That still exists, but today there are podcasts from: individuals; companies; radio networks; TV networks; new podcast-only networks (ex. Gimlet); comedians; storytellers; churches; and a whole lot more. There is no pre-determined length, format, style, production level, or anything else. Podcasts can be broken up into "seasons" like a TV show, or be episodic and ongoing.

Webquest

is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all information that learners work with comes from the web. These can be created using various programs, including simple word processing documents that include links to websites.

Digital Learning

is any form of learning that utilizes a wide array of instructional practices for virtual learning with the aid of online and offline digital tools.

Blog

is term for Short for "Web Log," this term refers to a list of journal entries posted on a Web page. Anybody who knows how to create and publish a Web page can publish their own blog. Some Web hosts have made it even easier by creating an interface where users can simply type a text entry and hit "publish" to publish their blog (Christensson, P., 2006).

Web Access

is the ability of the learner to access the Internet at any point during the lesson in order to take advantage of the array of available education resources.

Productivity tools

refer to any type of software associated with computers and related technologies that can be used as tools for personal, professional or classroom productivity. Examples: Microsoft Office, Apple works - word processing, grade and record keeping, web page production, presentation) (KFIT-Unesco 2016

Information and Communication technology Literacy

refers to a set of user skills that enable active participation in a society where services and cultural offerings are computer-supported and distributed on the internet (UNESCO IITE, 2011)

Software

refers to program control instructions and accompanying documentation; stored on disks or tapes when not being used in the computer. By extension, the term refers to any audiovisual materials (Smaldino, 2005).

Educational Technology

refers to the application of principles in the selection, development, management and utilization of appropriate technological processes and conventional and non-conventional technology tools in teaching.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

refers to the diverse set of technological tools and resources used to transmit, store, create, share or exchange information. These technological tools and resources include computers, the Internet (websites, blogs and emails), live broadcasting technologies (radio, television and webcasting), recorded broadcasting technologies (podcasting, audio and video players and storage devices) and telephony (fixed or mobile, satellite, vision/video-conferencing, etc.) (UNESCO).
