- The term tech·nol·o·gy is derived from the Greek tekhnologia, the “systematic treatment of an art, craft, or technique“. This blog is all about using (or not using) technology in teaching; hence, we thought we coined a new term (that’s already been used a lot) for its title: teachnique! By definition, the focus is on:
- a: the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area <medical technology> b: a capability given by the practical application of knowledge <a car’s fuel-saving technology>
- a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge <new technologies for information storage>
- the specialized aspects of a particular field of endeavor <educational technology>
Clearly a work in progress, this site will be as dynamic as any preK-life classroom, hopefully!
