CHAPTER 7
Evaluating Educational Technology
EXPLORE
It is important to evaluate the educational technology and software first before using in order to determine if those are suited for the needs and interest of the learner as well as the subjects. Also, it is important to evaluate the software and educational technology during its usage to know if those things are helping the students to understand the lesson. Likewise, it is important to evaluate the educational technology and software after its use in class to know if those things become effective in presenting the lesson; if the students are able to tell, explain or demonstrate the idea of the lesson
This activity aims to determine the significance of evaluating educational technology
After learning the need of evaluating educational technology, answer briefly questions below.
1. Why is it important for teachers to evaluate educational technology and software to its use, during its usage and after its use in class instruction?
The appropriate period to use checklists, rating scales and rubrics is when there is a performance and/or product. Performance and product need checklist, rating scale or rubrics because it is not easy to evaluate that two without those things. Without checklist, rating scale or rubrics to evaluate the performance or product, the result of the evaluation has the tendency to be subjective. In order to avoid that, better to use either of the three.
