 * Defining Technology in an educational context. **

"Educational technologies are often viewed not only as solutions to real or perceived inadequacies of traditional instruction, but also as tools for reducing the inequities in educational opportunities around the world" (Amiel & Reeves, 2008, p. 29). For example, Calculators, radio and Cabled TV.

A frequent perception people have of educational technologies is that they are electronic tools or devices, such as a calculator, computer or a phone. ** Technology is not a product and instead is a process ** (Amiel & Reeves, 2008, p. 32).
