CHAPTER I Introduction

Background of the Research The Internet and Educational technology, also called as EdTech, pertains to the study and ethical practice of facilitating e-learning which improves the level of performance as well as the computer literacy of the students by teaching them to create, to use, and to manage appropriate technological processes and resources . The term educational technology is often associated with instructional theory and learning theory. Instructional technology is the theory and practice which is concerned with improving the efficiency and effectiveness of instruction involving designing instruction including all the phases of activity from needs assessment to evaluation, applying learning theory to instructional design, selecting delivery systems and designing techniques for a given delivery system, assessing human characteristics, conducting process and product evaluation, managing change and adopting innovations, building teams and managing projects, integrating instruction with other factors that influence human performance, implementing delivery to reach learners when they need it using technology in support of the development and delivery of instruction. On the other hand, Educational technology is an academic discipline that prepares individuals by helping them acquire a deeper understanding and mastery of learning resources: messages, people, materials, devices, techniques and settings; processes for analyzing and devising solutions to those problems through research, theory, design, production, evaluation, utilization; the processes involved in organization and personnel management. The focus is on effective processes to facilitate learning using technologies and

understanding the impacts of technology on learners and organizations. Areas of specialization may include distance learning, human performance technology, technology integration and management, media design and development, learning sciences, instructional design, change management, and communications processes. It should be noted that the field is not merely concerned with learning technical skills nor the simplistic use of technology for technologys sake in teaching, a common misperception by non-educators. Practitioners in the field typically hold an advanced degree, Master's or doctorate. Technology in education is most simply and comfortably defined as an array of tools that might prove helpful in advancing student learning and may be measured in how and why individuals behave. Educational Technology relies on a broad definition of the word "technology." Technology can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines or hardware, but it can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. Some modern tools include but are not limited to overhead projectors, laptop computers, and calculators. Newer tools such as smartphones and games (both online and offline) are beginning to draw serious attention for their learning potential. Media psychology is the field of study that applies theories of human behavior to educational technology. According to some, an Educational Technologist is someone who transforms basic educational and psychological research into an evidence-based applied science (or a technology) of learning or instruction. Educational Technologists typically have a graduate degree (Master's, Doctorate, Ph.D., or D.Phil.) in a field related to educational psychology, educational media, experimental psychology, cognitive psychology or, more purely, in the fields of Educational, Instructional or Human Performance Technology or Instructional Systems Design. But few of those listed below as theorists would ever use the term "educational technologist" as a term to describe themselves,

preferring terms such as "educator." The transformation of educational technology from a cottage industry to a profession is discussed by Shurville, Browne, and Whitaker.

Statement of the Problem This study seeks to answer the following questions: I. II. What is Internet and Educational Technology? What are advantages and disadvantages of the Internet and Educational Technology to the following: 1. Students III. 2. Quality of Learnings

How can we lessen the bad effects of Internet and Technology?

Significance of the Study

The Internet and Educational technology, also called as EdTech, pertains to the study and ethical practice of facilitating e-learning which improves the level of performance as well as the computer literacy of the students by teaching them to create, to use, and to manage appropriate technological processes and resources . This helps the students to be more aware and updated about the abrupt changes to our technology today. On the other hand, Edtech really helps the students to be more knowledgeable about the technological advancement specifically the proper way of its integration and application to education.

Scope and Limitations

This study primarily focuses only on the Internet and Educational Technology particularly to its advantages and disadvantages and the things to be considered to lessen the bad effects of computer to the students. Definition of Terms

The following terms are conceptually and operationally defined for better understanding of the readers. Internet. The Internet is a global network connecting millions of computers. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions. E-learning. It is the use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. E-learning is broadly inclusive of all forms of educational technology in learning and teaching. Computer literacy. Computer literacy is defined as the knowledge and ability to utilize computers and related technology efficiently, with a range of skills covering levels from elementary use to programming and advanced problem solving. Assessment. This is the process of documenting, usually in measurable terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs. Assessment can focus on the individual learner, the learning community the institution, or the educational system as a whole . Practitioners. It is a person actively engaged in an art, discipline, or profession, esp. medicine.

Toxicogenomics. is a field of science that deals with the collection, interpretation, and storage of information about gene and protein activity within particular cell or tissue of an organism in response to toxic substances.

CHAPTER 2 The Research Body Consider the Handbook of Human Performance Technology. The word technology for the sister fields of Educational and Human Performance Technology means "applied science." In other words, any valid and reliable process or procedure that is derived from basic research using the "scientific method" is considered a "technology." Educational or Human Performance Technology may be based purely on algorithmic or heuristic processes, but neither necessarily implies physical technology. The word technology comes from the Greek "techne" which means craft or art. Another word, "technique," with the same origin, also may be used when considering the field Educational Technology. So Educational Technology may be extended to include the techniques of the educator. Children and adult people are growing up in a vastly changing context. No aspect of their lives is untouched by the digital era which is transforming how they live, relate and learn Some examples of these changes in the classroom include: Problem Based Learning, Project-based Learning, and Inquiry-based learning. Together they are active learning educational technologies used to facilitate learning. Technology which includes physical and process applied science can be incorporated into project, problem, inquiry-based learning as they all have a similar educational philosophy. All three are student centered, ideally involving realworld scenarios in which students are actively engaged in critical thinking activities. The process

that students are encouraged to employ (as long as it is based on empirical research) is considered to be a technology. Classic examples of technologies used by teachers and Educational Technologists include Bloom's Taxonomy and Instructional Design. In using these technology in our education, we might find something that is good for learning or something that will hinder learning but we should know how to avoid this thing from happening. Technology helps us to reach a much larger audience from greater geographic locations as well as help disabled and geographically isolated students, helps students with busy schedules, freedom to work at home on their own time, decrease overcrowded classrooms, offer more classes at peak demand times of day and week, increasing flexibility in class scheduling, decrease paper and photocopying costs, promoting concept of "green revolution", access to students of everything instructors present in the classroom, and train students to learn new technology skills they can use later in the work place. Aside from these advantages that we get from using technology, we might also encounter its disadvantages. By using it ,we will come to the point that we are selecting appropriate hardware and software programs, gather incompatible technology issues, challenges when submitting assignments,some students can't afford modern computer technologies, students usually pan an online technology fee, instructors and students need training to learn how to use online technology, possibility of cheating on tests and quizzes, and difficult to motivate students, requires self-discipline and self-motivation. In the last few years, Technology has taken increasingly larger steps in its development. Not 10 years ago Facebook was being run out of a Dorm, Twitter DIDNT EXIST, and Youtube was just starting up. Ten years ago floppy-disks were the main way that people backed up files, laptops were slightly thinner than typewriters, Ipods were in their most basic form, and CD players were seen as the tech of the future. Thank goodness times have changed, and I am sure that times will

change even more in the next 10 years due to more technological advances, but that doesnt necessarily bode for you as a student. Along with these leaps in advancements come distractions in the form of conveniences, and some of these distractions can be fatal in attempting to concentrate. Conclusion and Recommendation Toxicogenomic technologies provide new means to evaluate complex biologic systems and the impact of chemicals on living systems. Specifically, toxicogenomic technologies may be applied to improve cross-species extrapolation in the analysis of chemical hazard, identify susceptible subpopulations, assess effects of early life exposures to chemicals, analyze compounds modes of action, screen for potential toxic responses, refine exposure assessment, and analyze biologic effects of combined exposures or mixtures. Applying toxicogenomic technologies to these important problems in toxicology can improve understanding and minimize adverse effects of environmental exposures and drugs and contribute to a knowledge base of toxicity end points. To date, applications of toxicogenomic technologies in risk assessment and the regulatory decision-making process have been exploratory. Although they clearly have great potential to affect decision making, toxicogenomic technologies are not ready to replace existing required testing regimes in risk assessment and regulatory toxicology. However, toxicogenomic technologies are assuming an increasing role as adjuncts to, and extensions of, existing technologies for predictive toxicology. Toxicogenomics can provide molecular level information and tests that add to the weight of the evidence for or against the safety of specific environmental toxicants and drugs. Ultimately, toxicogenomic technologies are envisioned to be

more sensitive and more informative than existing technologies and may supplant some approaches currently in use, or at least be a component of batteries that will replace certain tests. This chapter summarizes the committees conclusions and recommendations. The summary includes several areas of important overarching recommendations that are not discussed elsewhere in the report (recommendations for a new initiative, for general risk assessment, and to address educational needs) as well as recommendations discussed in detail at the end of individual chapters.
