At the beginning of the class, the concept of educational technology was very vague, believing that educational technology was a variety of AIDS and computer applications related to education. Only after class did I begin to realize that educational technology covers a wide range of implications. It not only refers to all kinds of hardware equipment related to education, but also includes software equipment, educational process and various educational concepts. In the process of education, teachers’ educational goals and students’ learning interests are taken into account. Based on this basic concept, the process and results of education are reflected, and then the tools and technologies are studied to maximize the completion of educational goals and help students make better progress in learning. Thus, after the class, it really changes my thoughts on Educational Technology. It gives me a concrete idea, that the basic and the critical concept about education is to help students to learn in a right and effect way.
When I was in junior high school, I had anatomy in biology class, including fish anatomy and frog anatomy. In order to study the function of the fins we have to remove the fins step by step, and dissect the frog. It is very cruel for girls. Nearly 20 years later, I still remember my fear when dissecting fish and frogs. So I wonder if there’s any educational technology that can mimic real fish and frogs without actually killing them to learn.
My cousin sister is a nurse and she has shared with me that they need to learn about human bodies by dissecting cadavers. First of all, it’s very difficult for medical schools to find bodies, and most of the bodies are old people, and sometimes medical schools need young bodies to teach. And for the students, in the face of the body is a very big challenge, my cousin and I occasionally speak of her things in anatomy class, most of the students start are very afraid of need a lot of time to adjust psychology, is not only the face of the body in class mentality, and also want to spend a lot of time to do psychological debugging. The article Shared by Eva has examples of lego application in various disciplines, such as programming, physics, biology and so on. Based on this, and modern technology has been very developed, will there be any technology can be applied to biological anatomy and medical education.
