Choosing the appropriate educational technology to facilitate the delivery of instruction is an integral part of planning lessons.
The teacher has to take into consideration the relevance, the availability and the purpose for which the device is being used. In an event that technology is not available on hand, the teacher is obliged to prepare one. There are principles and procedures which he/she must take into consideration. There must be a plan or a design to be followed to insure that the preparation is smooth and that the device to be prepared will be utilized to the fullest. Time, energy, effort, and money must be saved.
This powerpoint presentation discusses about the principles of designing educational technology as well as the criteria in evaluating educational technology.

Instructor, MMSU-LES Four (4) Principles in Designing Instructional Materials (Lorenzo as cited in Garo, 2008)
Principle #1. Materials are specifically designed for planned
purposes.
for instructional materials to be effective, they must serve the
objectives for which they are intended springboard to a lesson, unlock vocabularies (give meaning to difficult words) Four (4) Principles in Designing Instructional Materials (Lorenzo as cited in Garo, 2008) (contd)
Principle #2. Instructional materials are tools designed for
teachers as well as for students/learners.
these materials are not individualized; they are tools which
enable the teacher to individualize learning the materials of instruction should serve as a tool for evaluating results of teaching so that the teacher can improve on the methodology, strategy, and techniques and selection of the content Four (4) Principles in Designing Instructional Materials (Lorenzo as cited in Garo, 2008) (contd)
Principle #3. The use of content in the material is planned.
Instruction will give in detail the use of content.
instructional materials must reflect the content or the subject
matter; if not, the material is empty and useless the teacher must have a prepared detailed set of activities to be unfolded with the use of the instructional technology Plan of the design and the implementation must be structured so that the teacher shall be guided accordingly Four (4) Principles in Designing Instructional Materials (Lorenzo as cited in Garo, 2008) (contd)
Principle #4. Instructional materials specify (1) the content to
be learned, (2) the techniques of presentation, practice and use of the content, and (3) the mode of teaching associated with those techniques
the technique of presentation may also be in the form of sets of
instructions like the contextualization of new language content and procedures for repetition and transformation. Four (4) Principles in Designing Instructional Materials (Lorenzo as cited in Garo, 2008) (contd)
Principle #4. Instructional materials specify (1) the content to
be learned, (2) the techniques of presentation, practice and use of the content, and (3) the mode of teaching associated with those techniques
the mode of communication can be a book, an audiotape, or
audio-video tape, or CD-ROM or card with arranged content or instructions the teacher performing specifications actions or using specified objects is also considered as a mode of presentation CRITERIA in EVALUATING EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY NEIL CHRISTIAN T. CORALES Instructor, MMSU-LES EVALUATION is a HOLISTIC approach must judge the strength of the content selected, the strategies employed, and the instructional materials used including the preparation of the teacher
One cannot evaluate the instructional devices without norms or
standards on which to base judgment. SIZE make sure that the text or picture is seen very clearly by the farthest pupils relative sizes of pictures must be observed so as not to confuse pupils or students RELEVANCE content of educational technology must be related to the learning task on hand and the maturity level and experiences of the pupils or students technology must be up-to-date so that the students as well as the teacher can keep abreast with the needs of the times COLOR material can be more effective if they are colorful the colors used in drawings, illustrations and other materials should approximate the real-life colors (Montessori approach) color harmony is also important consideration so that the material will be pleasing to look at ECONOMY prize of the material does not guarantee its effectiveness Cheap but properly chosen educational technology can be effective also as long as the teacher utilizes them alongside with pedagogical practices DURABILITY refers to the length of time the material can be used over and over again can the technology stand several uses? Can the school or the teacher get their moneys worth? Can the teacher do something to increase their usefulness? How? EASY TO HANDLE Is the technology light, easy to put up and manipulate? Can it be brought to anywhere? Can it be stored for a long period of time and be retrieved easily as the needs arise? NOVELTY refers to the newness or uniqueness of the material using one and the same material with different lessons should be avoided as much as possible because pupils get bored learners are focused to materials that have the element of surprise
