How technology is a tool in education, How technology is a catalyze in education, How technology is a medium in education?





Technology is an application of scientific knowledge in practices. Education Psychology is the process whereby technology is app
lied in facilitating learning process by using machines like videos, Television, video Tape, visual Audio,Audio,Cameras,Pictures and others devices. The new technologies and human development intended to prepare learners to design and evaluate new technology young learners to participate and direct to implementation of programs aimed at using new technologies is to foster learners ‘personal, social,emotional,sipiritual,linguistic and intellectual development to acquire technical skills and theoretical knowledge that will contribute to their development or researcher or practitioners in this emerged field. This concentration means new technologies and human development and prepares the learners for caring high education, research and applies setting.
In Education Technology the effective learning and teaching have to involve technologies which had to fit with the stages of human development that based in cognition as the mental process. A psychologists Jean Piaget,have analyzed four stages of human cognition, means the mental process which are the Sensory Motor stage,Pre-operational stages, Concrete stage and Formal stages. Also the other Psychologist Jean Sinnoth added another stage for the development of human being that is The Adult stage or Adult mental cognition stage simply so called Post Formal Thinking stage.
The integration of Videos that contain songs for Drilling, and Stray pictures have been related to the children worth age of (0-2 years) the stage of human being in the human development in cognition because in this stage a child learn through Observing and imitating from what they see and what they listen by using this Technology the Teacher will success to make the interest of the students or learners.
The use of the Streaming Videos, Photo cameras, will enable the Teacher to make the Interest of the learners to the subject or lesson. By using this Technology in Education go Perpendicularly to the human development, by considering the stage of cognition is actually the age of( 3-5 years),at this stage it characterized with the great expansion of symbolic, as a Teacher have to think this stage and much worth the Technologies.
Also Radio cassette that comprises of Speakers, Using the library Videos that have to be related to what you teach your learners. This technology have to be used in the children or learners with the age of 7-10 years which is known as concrete stage that a learner is characterized by understanding the spatial and focus on attributing various object simultaneous. So as Teacher can use these Technologies in teaching the learners belonging to this stage due to their characteristics of cognition of their mental.
The use of computer for searching materials in different websites and the use of Phones to many Programs like the Internet have been developed at the age of 11-14 years ,as the stage of Formal operational stage (adolescences) by Jean Piaget. The integration of  hardware and software have related to the stage(critical thinking) this is because children at this stage are able to use these Technologies in his or her own way as Adult do. The integration of Computer in his or her software the Teacher will encourage the learners to perform in their own ways. Also the intention of the teacher is make the learners to be aware and be active in the learning process.
The use of hardware and software Technologies in Education. A Teacher have to use these technologies to the age that is characterized by the critical thinking, Paradox thinking and to the learners who have knowledge about the multiple causality and multiple solution. The use of these Technologies enabled the Teacher and learners to understand the problem (disconnection) to the websites as much as possible. Example when the Teacher integrates the software and the problem occurred the learner will change and search another thing other search engine.
The use of Technologies in Education have been reported to have many positive impacts to the learners because through usage of Technologies in Education the learner will be having an opportunity  to share from the what the teacher intended to teach at that day or period and share the material widely from the world, also these Technologies if they will be used by the learner can lead to the great immorality of the learners; also the uses of Technologies in Educational matters can lead the learners to be stagnant in the issue of critical thinking because each and every thing they will be depending on the Internet’s in order to solve their academic matters.
