Use of Educational Technology to Transform the 50-Minute Lecture: Is Student Response Dependent on Learning Style? Chrysanthe Demetry Worcester Polytechnic InstituteAbstractEducational technologies like web-deployed assessments and student response systems provideopportunities for formative assessment that would be expected to enhance student learning andhelp create a more active classroom environment. These technologies can be used in ways thatmight help or hinder particular types of learners, yet not much research has been done in thisarea.

Friday Morning Session 1 - Faculty Hands-on Technology Education Nripendra N Sarker and Mohan A Ketkar Prairie View A&M University Prairie View, TX 77446 AbstractThe computer hardware basics are taught using traditional TTL logic gate units, such as, NOT,OR, AND, NAND, XOR, and XNOR gates. Circuits are created by placing these gates (chips)on breadboard and connected to 5V power supplies. Use of this set is unique particularly tojumpstart a digital logic circuits course as there is no alternative to this hardware

The limits of integrating technology intoclassroom teaching are teacher-dependent, and every teacher must use what he/she feels mostappropriate for the learning outcomes. Since the Industrial Revolution, science and technologyhave shaped the world in fundamental ways.1 Integration of currently-available educationaltechnologies in the classroom can similarly affect the student learning in the most fundamentalway.Integrating Educational Technologies in TeachingApollinaire, as quoted by Elliot W.

Even though the trend ofintegrating teaching with various innovative instructional technologies is here,completely online engineering or engineering technology education is not yet widespreadthroughout engineering colleges and universities. This is partly due to the quality issuesin voice/video in online courses, insufficient support for university faculty to offer suchcourses, and challenges faced in offering laboratory classes.“___________University

Following a briefintroduction the paper begins with a discussion of the differences between engineering and technologicalliteracyIntroduction; defining technological and engineering literacyIrrespective of the internet, knowledge in all areas of learning information continues toexpand, and the internet makes it readily available. How it is handled, as the flow of paperspublished in IEEE Technology and Society and other journals show, is becoming increasinglyproblematic for knowledge is one of the most useful mechanisms of control that we have.Ease of information availability brings with it problems of ownership, intellectual propertyrights, privacy, and in
highly context-specific. For example, knowledge from science,agriculture, construction, mathematics amongst countless other areas can be described astechnological knowledge dependant on its utility in a particular context. A useful way ofconceiving this is to adopt the epistemological differentiation put forward by Morrison-Love 17 ,where transformation is considered as the epistemological basis for technology education, in asimilar way to proof within mathematics and interpretation within science. In alignment withphilosophical perspectives on technological knowledge, and its inter-dependency withtechnological activity, the centrality of action to the nature of activity students engage with withintechnology education becomes apparent.In
