Chapter 2 || Lori  || **__ Facilitating learning __** incorporates the notion that “learning is controlled and owned by students” (Januszewski, & Molenda, 2008). The facilitator’s role is to promote active learning, utilizing assessment and evaluation to optimize planned and spontaneous learning situations. Reference: Januszewski, A., & Molenda, M. (Eds.).

Reference: Januszewski, A., & Molenda, M. (Eds.). (2008). //Educational technology: A definition with commentary.// New York, NY: Routledge. || Chapter 5 || Lori  || The purpose of educational technology is **__the use of technological resources__** in order to facilitate learning. Included in the definition is the utilization of selected materials, eclectic approaches to learning dependent on learning goals, learner needs, resources, and setting (high ed, K-12, or corporate).

 * Facilitating Learning,
 * Improving Performance, Chapter 3 || Michael  || Educational Technology claims to **__improve performance__** of individual learners of teachers and designers, and of organizations. (Januszewski, & Molenda, 2008) Improving performance by making learning experiences more valuable by being focused on worthwhile goals, reduce learning time and increase learning effectiveness, and a way to improve productivity. (Januszewski, & Molenda, 2008)
 * Creating,
 * Using,
 * Managing, Chapter 6 || Michael  || **__ Managing __** is effectively orchestrating people, processes, physical infrastructure, and financial resources to achieve predetermined goals. (Januszewski, & Molenda, 2008)
 * Ethical Considerations, Chapter 11 || Andy  || When learning how to use technology effectively, especially new or trial technology, the user must also learn how to use it appropriately. This will enable the learner to act in a manner which will bring a positive outcome to not only the learner but to those who are involved. It must further technology and with the **__ethical considerations__**, it deals with the individual, profession and the society it affects.
 * Processes, Chapter 7 || All members of the community  || **__ Processes __** are the methods, procedures, developments, and actions of using a form of input in order to produce a given output in complex, technology-enhanced learning environments, to achieve the ultimate goal of facilitated learning, learner engagement, or improving performance. “Process is denoted here as a series of actions, procedures, or functions leading to either a result or another process.” (Januszewski, & Molenda, 2008)
 * Resources, Chapter 8 || All members of the community  || **__ Resources __** can take the form of many tools according to Januszewski & Molenda (2008). They believed a variety of "materials, devices, people and settings" which learners interact with aides in the improvements of learning and performance. (Januszewski & Molenda, 2008). The primary source of ethical uses are vital and must be applied.
