EduCom isn’t just the system that brings technological solutions to education, it also supports the further computer education and systems. EduCom gives opportunity to teachers, students and education directors to analyze, to use and to create new computer management systems.

Connecting Education And Technology

    The "Education & Computer Connection" is a valuable source of information for educators, parents and students who use technology and the internet to enhance learning. As educators, we must be positive role models for our students. Students must see teachers as proficient users of technology in the classroom. Teachers must provide opportunities for students to access the Internet and to develop high-quality activities with hands-on use of current technology.

Technology in the Classroom:

    The use of computers, technology applications and hands-on learning enables each student to tie-in your classroom o bjectives and make a connection to real-world applications. This methodology gives each student equal access to a world of knowledge limited only by the imagination.

    As an example, in Doga Schools a project called YUTES (High-Tech Education System) has been started with Turkey Formal Science Center TUBİTAK. That system contains fully high-tech classrooms. You can find detailed information about these in the pages of this school. EduCom is supporting this project in the ‘managament analyzes’ step.

Technology for Teaching and Learning in the Classroom

OVERVIEW:

    Teaching is changing and, in many ways, becoming a more difficult job because of increasingly numerous contradictory expectations, including the following:
  • We are living in an age of information overload with the expectation that students will learn high-level skills such as how to access, evaluate, analyze, and synthesize vast quantities of information. At the same time, teachers are evaluated by their ability to have students pass tests that often give no value to these abilities.
  • Teachers are expected to teach students to solve complex problems that require knowledge necessary across many subject areas even as they are held accountable for the teaching and learning of isolated skills and information.
  • Teachers are expected to meet the needs of all students and move them toward fulfillment of their individual potential even as they are pressured to prepare students for maximum performance on high-stakes assessment tests that are the primary measure of student and school success.
    Technology can actually assist with some of these expectations and make teachers-and their students—more successful. However, as the world becomes more complex—virtually year-to-year instead of the generation-to-generation pace of most of the last century—educational needs continue to shift from teaching and learning isolated skills and information within each content area, to teaching skills that enable students to solve complex problems across many areas. Educators must prepare for a technology-rich future and keep up with change by adopting effective strategies that infuse lessons with appropriate technologies. This makes a uthentic assessment needs even more important: Assessments must keep pace with effective instructional technology use. All this while educators at every level, but teachers especially, actively pursue professional development that enables a lifelong exploration of ways to enhance the teaching and learning of science and mathematics and support science and mathematics education reform.
