Science & Technology in Education
2
Aim To acquaint the participants with the dynamics and role of Science and Technology with special reference to Education.
3
Objectives At the end of this session you will be able: To know the significant revolution in education sector through technology To identify the various technologies and their use in educational arena To know the efficacy of Technology in the learning process

No Definition of Science … A carpenter, a school teacher, and scientist were traveling by train through Scotland when they saw a black sheep through the window of the train. "Aha," said the carpenter with a smile, "I see that Scottish sheep are black." "Hmm," said the school teacher, "You mean that some Scottish sheep are black." "No," said the scientist glumly, "All we know is that there is at least one sheep in Scotland, and that at least one side of that one sheep is black.” http://www.gly.uga.edu/railsback/1122sciencedefns.html

Science is an intellectual activity carried on by humans that is designed to discover information about the natural world in which humans live and to discover the ways in which this information can be organized into meaningful patterns. Dr. Sheldon Gottlieb
6
Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences. Freeman Dyson
7
Science and Technology Science: Acquiring Knowledge through ‘Scientific Method’ Technology: Applied Science Sci & Tech: Indivisible pair; Interchangeable Knowledge and Usage of Tools and Crafts
8
Why Technology? Assistive, Enhances Learning Conducive to All Learning Styles/Approaches Visual Learners Auditory Learners Kinesthetic Learners Attention Grabbing Broadened Scope Library without Walls Less Teachers, More Campuses Online Teaching (Video Conferencing)
9
Types of Technology with Reference to Education Audio Visual Aids Multimedia Overhead Projector Recording Devices Computer Deta storage & Portability Cyber Aids Internet E-brary (Search Engines : Jstor, Ebscohost, etc) OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) Learning Software (s) On-line Teaching and Conferencing Blogs of Experts E-Examination Assistive Technology Braille Voice Detection Software Digital Dictaphone (Visually impaired & Suffering from Dyslexia) SMS/ Texting (Deaf Sts) etc
10
Computers, Internet Technology & Teachers It has made easier for the teachers to render knowledge and for the students to grasp it The Computer Technology is used to add a fun- element to education Internet has endowed education with interactivity Computers offer an interactive audio-visual media Power-Point presentations and animation software can be used to render information to the students in an interactive manner
11
Technology in Schools – a leap towards success It makes learning an enjoyable activity, thus inviting greater interest from the kids The admin processes, the official procedures of school can be simplified by the means of technology The school could have a library system, which by the utilization of technology can be maintained in an efficient manner Attendance records of the pupils and teachers can be maintained by means of a student database
12
… School can host a website of its own holding information about the school There can be a decreased use of paper in bringing most of the school office work in an e-format
13
Studies have shown … Children conversant with technology show improvements in their writing, reading and math skills Technology has also contributed to the decrease in drop out rates, improvement in student attendance and enhancement in their learning abilities (HANDOUTS)

Assistive Technology
15
Visual Impairments Screen Reader Software Relay back to you, what you are typing Magnification Software Products enlarge a particular part of a computer screen Closed Circuit Camera Systems can magnify print and text and then display an enlarged version on a television or computer screen Stickers can be put onto standard keyboard keys that either present the letters and numbers as Braille or simply increase the size of the characters.
16
Motor and Dexterity Impairments Speech Recognition Technology On-Screen Keyboard (you only needs a mouse to select characters on the screen) Predictive Text (help increase the rate of typing - after typing two or three letters, you are given a selection of words to choose from) Devices are available that take the place of keyboards but are smaller and need less effort to press the keys
18
Hearing Impairments Visual notifications and text
19
Technology & Early Education Young Students can internalize the abstract concept through visual images Conducive in Language (s) Acquisition Technology introduces playful learning Cartoons Movies Video Games etc Computer Technology enhances learning
20
Technology & Higher Education Recorded Lectures Contact with Scholars worldwide Software Database Software Spell + Grammar Check Software Plagiarism Detector Access to Libraries Worldwide
21
Technology which allows Hawking to speak Ground-breaking Theorist By the late 1970s, ALS had ravaged Stephen Hawking's ability to swallow and breathe An operation which saved his life but took away his voice By flicking a few fingers of one hand, he manages his surroundings
