11. ERIC ASHBY’S “FOUR REVOLUTIONS IN EDUCATION” 1.Emergence of Schools. 2.Invention of Alphabets. 3.Invention of Printing Technology. 4.Influence of Information and Communication Technology in Education.

12. Use of ICT in education is not encouraging: 1. How many colleges make regular use of UGC’s Countywide Class Room Programmes? 2. How many Colleges tap the potentials of Computer and Internet for teaching and learning. 3. How many teachers go beyond chalk and talk and explore the possibilities and potentials of Modernisation of Teaching in this Digital age?

13. TWO REVOLUTIONS OFFER NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET THE NEW CHALLENGES 1.ET REVOLUTION 2.ICT REVOLUTION

14. What? Education technology is the development, application and evaluation of systems, techniques and aids to improve the process of human learning.

15. THE ET REVOLUTION ADDRESSES BOTH THE ISSUES OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY OF EDUCATION

16. FOUR INFORMATION REVOLUTIONS 1.Writing was invented 6000 years ago. 2.First written book was published in 1300 B.C. 3.Invention of printing press in 1455 A.D. 4.The ICT-revolution is the Fourth Information Revolution.

17. WHAT? Information and communication technology is defined as the use of hardware and software for efficient management of information, i.e. storage, retrieval, processing, communication, diffusion and sharing of information for social, economic and cultural upliftment.

18. Information and Communication Technology improves different aspects of Higher Education such as:  Teaching  Sharing Of Resources  Increasing Accessibility  Research And Development  Virtual University  Human Resource Development  Distance Education  Total Quality Management  Bridging The Gap Between the Haves And the Have-nots

19. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY AND TEACHING 1. IT provides access to different sources of correct and comprehensive information. 2. IT broadens the information base. 3. IT provides variety in the presentation of content. 4. IT provides flexibility to learners for quality learning.

20. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY AND SHARING OF RESOURCES In the backdrop of decreasing investment in Higher Education, Information Technology enables the creation of a central facility which can be shared by students, teachers and researchers from different departments. Example: Inter University Consortium(IUC) of UGC.

21. ICT AND TQM ICT will bring desirable changes in the input, process, output and feedback components of teacher education system.

22. TEACHER EDUCATION SYSTEM CONEXT INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT Teacher Characteristics Student Characteristics Human Resources Physical Resources Support of Agencies Socio-Political Context Instructional Quality Institutional Management Student Participation Curriculum Quality Student Achievements

23. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ICT LITERACY IN PRE-SERVICE TEACHER EDUCATION  To create general awareness amongst teacher trainees about information and communication technology and its use in teaching learning.  To acquaint teacher trainees with parts of computer system and their functions.  To develop vocabulary of information and communication technology amongst teacher trainees.  To develop competency amongst teacher trainees of using off-line electronic resources (CD-ROM etc.) and on-line resources such as the world wide web.  To develop competency and encourage teacher trainees in using NET for improving school teaching and personal academic (on-line resources).

24. EDUCATION IMPLICATIONS OF ICT 1. Time, space and socio-economic factors are no longer major barriers to learning. 2. Decentralized nature of the new technology frees the learners from the technology provider. 3. Learners have access to variety of learning resources. 4. Up-to-date knowledge from any part of the world. 5. New media allows interactivity, learner need not be a passive recipient of knowledge. 6. New technology allows the learner to receive information in a variety of formats.

25. VARIETY OF ICTs  Printed Text  Audio Cassettes  Video Cassettes  Radio  Cable Television  Satellite Television  Computer- based audio- graphics system  Telex

26. Continued…  Video discs  Computer- controlled interactive video  Video conferencing  The internet  Computer- based multimedia  Remote interactive databases  Virtual reality  World Wide Web

27. FIVE GENERATIONS OF DELIVERY TECHNOLOGIES 1.Correspondence model. 2.Multimedia model 3.Tele-learning model 4.Flexible learning model 5.Intelligent flexible learning model

28. National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT) through its Central Institute of Education Technology (CIET) had produced audio/video programmes on a wide range of subjects related to teacher education. The State Institutes of Education Technology (SIET) also telecast programmes in the states of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat.

29. WHY? It is true that a teacher can not be replaced by technology. It is also true that a teacher who does not make use of technology will be replaced by a teacher who makes use of technology.

30. HOW?  Educational technology brings education to people instead of bringing people to education. It is the systematic way of designing, carrying out and evaluating the total process of teaching and learning in terms of specific objectives based on findings from research in human learning and communication.
