This is virtually transparent to the user and will become more so. Interactivity It is the interactivity of the program that will ultimately determine how crucial the information is to education. Software creates machines that think.

If one can access all knowledge at any time and this can be put into any form you desire, from term paper to television show, and then shown to as many people as you like in any number of transmission forms then we are looking at a new world indeed. How does this affect the learning environment?

The problem is not finding data but finding meaningful data. Learners are faced with the satellite-dish dilemma: a thousand stations, yet none with the show that you want to watch. Curriculum in the world of software design is oddly more linear than in many more traditional texts. As such, it assumes a developmental base of incremental improvement and change. This is not a general demographic target created by a testing firm and then filtered through a textbook committee in Texas. This is individual assessment and filtering for the individual.

The filtering, choosing and discrimination of what is appropriate, challenging and necessary were tasks fully approached by the instructor previously and when the educational resources become virtually infinite this already difficult task becomes even more daunting. The Human Element With all of these advances and varying interface possibilities it is crucial to keep in mind that the software is not now being written by computers.

Educational programs are designed by educators. Sequence of instruction can be infinitely specific to the individual, but its brilliance or uselessness is attributable to the person behind the program design. The curriculum and the decisions about how much time the learner spends with some technological marvel or with their fellows on the playground is still best decided by the instructor. There is no conflict with instruction remaining student-centered.

Meaningful instruction can be enhanced by these tools, and these are powerful tools. Instructors who can use these new and ever changing tools to meet students where they are as individuals and then meet them there with the best tools to enhance education.

The single thing that is the most exciting about the educational technology is its amorphous nature. Web icon An illustration of a computer application window Wayback Machine Texts icon An illustration of an open book.

Teacher and students' joint production of a reversible fraction conception. Assimilating causes an individual to incorporate new experiences into the old experiences. This causes the individual to develop new outlooks, rethink what were once misunderstandings, and evaluate what is important, ultimately altering their perceptions.

Accommodation, on the other hand, is reframing the world and new experiences into the mental capacity already present. Individuals conceive a particular fashion in which the world operates. When things do not operate within that context, they must accommodate and reframing the expectations with the outcomes.

Constructivism and technology are working hand-in-hand in the present day.
