Brief History of Edtech

11. Educational Technology is the
development , application and
evaluation of systems ,
techniques and aids to improve
the process of human learning .

12. Educational Technology is the
application of scientific knowledge
about learning and the conditions
of learning to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of the
teaching and training .

13. Educational Technology is the systematic way
of designing , implementing and evaluating the
total process of learning and teaching in terms
of specific objectives based on research in
human learning and communication and
employing a combination of human and non-
human resources to bring about more effective
instruction .

14. Stone Age people knew how to
make a picture to represent an
object . Cave dwellers painted
pictures of animals on the walls
of caves .
(The New Book of Knowledge)

15. Hebrew and
Phoenicians were the
first to use an alphabet
.

16. A group of Greek
teachers known as
Sophists , with their clever
arguments and oratorical
styles , were credited for
the basic philosophical
foundations of western
thought .

17. In the 15th century
, Johann Gutenberg
invented the
Printing Press .

20. Technological innovations ,
including the development of
textbooks , blackboards and
improvement of pen and ink , were
seen in the 19th century . In the
medieval Europe , monks made
books and called manuscript books
, by writing on parchment with pens
made from quills .

22.  Achieved fame as a reformer and writer of
innovative textbooks and other educational works .
 He wrote Janus Linguarium Reserata ( The Gate
of Language Unlocked ) , a latin language textbook
that taught basic vocabulary of eight thousand
words and latin grammar .
 He was recognized as the pioneer of Modern
Instructional Technology with his publication in
1657 of Orbis Sensualium Pictus ( The Visible
World Pictured ) , the first illustrated textbook
specifically designed for use by children in an
instructional setting .

24. Herbartian method of Teaching
Five formal steps of Teaching :
 Preparartion
 Presentation
 Comparison
 Abstraction
 Generalization
 Application

26. Johann Heinrich
Peztallozi
He believed that the teaching
in more effective if it proceeds
from concrete to abstract ,
hence the use of real and
actual objects involving
nmore senses .

28. Known as the Father of
Kindergarten
Emphasized the use of actual
objects which could be
manipulated by learners

30. Maria
Montesorri
Montesorri Method of
teaching
Emphasized Sensory
Training

32. Conducted scientific
investigation of learning ,
resulting to the development of
the first scientific theory of
learning
Father of Instructional
Technology

34. John Dewey
Advanced the ideas of
Pragmatism

35. Visual Education began in the
late 19th century .
Photography was invented , but
became widely accepted not until
the 1920s .
Public Lectures were illustrated
through the use of magic lanterns
the projected slides and
stereopticons , the earliest visual

36. •The first visual instruction
department which collected and
distributed lantern slides to
schools was organized in New
York in 1904
•This began the audiovisual and
media science departments

38.  The first school to open in United States in
1905
 Housed collection of art objects , models
, photographs , charts , real objects and
other instructional materials gathered
around the world
 Forerunner of the present-day media
center
 Renamed as Division of Audiovisual
education for the St.Louis School in 1943

40. THOMAS EDISON
Developed the series of
historical and scientific films
for school use

41. Films came into the classrooms
in 20th century
Theatrical films were also used
as educational tools
The first educational film
catalog was published in 1910
in the United States
Films for regular instructional
use was adopted by the first

43. Published his earliest paper
on programmed learning
about a machine which tested
and confirmed a learning task
.

44. The Ohio State
University and a
Cincinnati radio station
launched the Ohio
School of the Air in
1929
The first instructional
television program was
launched by Iowa State
University in 1932

46. They invented the
first all-electronic
digital computer ,
ABC , at Iowa State
University in 1939

47. The first
practical tape
recorders were
developed

50. Hierarchy of
Learning
experiences in 1946

52. The invention of
the videotape in
the 1950s made
it possible to
record pictures as
well as sounds

55. Benjamin Bloom
Published the
Taxonomy of
Educational Objectives ,
a scheme for
categorizing educational
objectives in 1956

56. Systematic studies were
undertaken to establish how the
attributes or features of various
media affected learning. The
convergence of instructional
media and instructional design
began with the
conceptualization of audiovisual
studies.

57. In the late 1950’s ,
the second generation
computers , based on
transistors were
introduced.

59. A computer aided
instruction project was
started by Patrick Suppers
and his associates in the
early 1960’s in Stanford
University.

60. The launched of the third
generations computers
which used solid -state
technology or integrated
circuits ( IC ‘s)

62. •Jerome Bruner, working from
a different perspective, devised
a descriptive scheme for
labeling instructional activities
parallel to that Edgar Dale’s in
1966.

64.  Fourth generation of computers
which introduced personal
computers were developed in the
1970’s
 Invention of the microprocessor, a
single silicon chip that contains all
the functions of the computer
specialist.

66. School community
recognized the role of
media specialist.

67. 1980’S
video cassette recorder
and playback television
shows. Also compact disc
became popular.

decades behind the above
mentioned highlights :

72. Educational television in the
Philippines begun at channel
9’s education on TV produced
by Fr. James Reuter, SJ.

73. A college course in
physics was telecast over
one of the commercial
channels

sports was produced and presented
jointly with the bureau of the
broadcast of the former ministry of

 Among the ETV series produced were
aliwan ng mga bata and tayo’y mag
palakas

75. The university of air program
offered by the university of the
Mindanao in early 70’s was
among the early innovations in the
used in the radio for instructions.

76.  A major breakthrough in the development
of educational technology was the
establishment of the center of educational
innovation and technology ( INNOTECH )

77. The television network, ABS CBN, came out
with the sister station, knowledge channel,
which aired curriculum based ATV
