Educational technology refers to the systematic application of scientific knowledge, tools, and strategies to improve the teaching and learning process. It involves designing, implementing, and evaluating educational resources, methods, and processes to make learning more effective and efficient. Educational technology is not limited to devices or software; it encompasses curriculum development, instructional design, teacher training, and assessment techniques, all aimed at enhancing the quality of education and facilitating learning in diverse environments. Information and Communication Technology (ICT), on the other hand, specifically refers to the use of digital tools, computers, internet, multimedia, and telecommunications to process, store, retrieve, and communicate information. In the educational context, ICT enables teachers and students to access a wide range of resources, engage in interactive learning, collaborate across locations, and develop critical 21st-century skills such as digital literacy, problem-solving, and communication. While educational technology is broader and can include non-digital methods, ICT is a modern subset of educational technology that relies heavily on digital and networked technologies. The development of educational technology in education has progressed through several stages.
