Subject: Academic technology v. technology education
We are having an interesting discussion about the difference between
"academic technology" and "technology education" and "educational
technology." My thoughts are that "academic technology" and
"educational technology" are similar and involve the integration of
technology by teachers and students into the regular curriculum of math,
science, history, etc. However, "technology education" in my mind means
specifically teaching students how to use specific software applications
and computer equipment for the sake of knowing how to use the software
and equipment. To muddy the waters further, one article I found in Phi
Delta Kappan says technology education is the modern successor to
industrial arts.
