    IT: According to my point of view, it is about designing any application and devices tends to facilitate & manage the process of learning in order to achieve certain objectives.

    2- They are same and related to each other in certain point, The use of applications and different material will engage students’ senses in the learning process, and facilitate different learning styles. Also,
    We use both of them i mean IT & teaching aids to improve the teaching and learning process inside the classroom.

  3.  We can divide the Instructional Technology (IT) into two definitions which are device and process. IT is the process that the teaching and learning go through it to achieve specific objectives. It is the operation of designing, applying, and evaluating the process of teaching and learning using different devices. It is depending on certain resources which could be human or nonhuman resources. These resources must be related or supported the teaching and learning outcomes.

     Teaching Aids is part of instructional technology. It helps in designing, applying and even evaluating the process of learning and teaching. Also Teaching Aids was the old name for Instructional Technology.

Also, it used for achieving or evaluating certain purposes in teaching and learning. In short, all teaching aids are instructional technology.

  11. 1- In fact, after searching hard from many different sources, i really found that, it is hard to find a specific and fixed definition to this term but reflecting my point of view i think the meaning of Instructional Technology is a systematic way of creating , designing, carrying out, and evaluating the total process of learning and teaching in terms of specific objectives , based on research in human learning and communication, and employing a combination of human and nonhuman resources to bring about more effective instruction.



    2- Both IT and the teaching aids are effective instructional technology which support and contribute in developing and enhancing the guality of education. They are like a coin with two faces , i mean by that ,they are so tight to each other which help the students and teachers as well to be more productive and effective in the classroom.Also, to deliver the messege instantly and fastly without any barriers.

  14. 1- Instructional Technology is helping us to design, develop, manage, use, and evaluate teaching process and how we apply it in our classes as how we plan for perfect lesson.

    2-There are some relation between instructional technology and learning aids. Teaching aids is a part of instructional technology and it's older than instructional teaching. Therefore, instructional technology is relatively modern term that arose as result of the disruption which made by using Teaching Aids. Instructional Technology is an organizing process of designing, carrying out and evaluating the process of learning process. But, teaching aids is all devices, materials and tools to achieves learning process.

    In my opinion, information technology can be defined as the process of coding, programming, data communications, data conversion, storage and retrieval, systems analysis and design, systems control and the equipment used to collect, process, and present information. In general, IT includes office automation, multimedia, and telecommunications

    Teaching aids
    Teaching aids are the things which teachers use to help their students learn quickly such as a chalkboard or computer program. Teachers use those tools to explain concepts to students because every student learns in a different way. Teachers use teaching aids to help them in differentiating instruction for all types of learners

    What is the relationship between teaching aids and information technology?
    There is no difference between them. Teaching aids is part of information technology.

    2.
    There is a relationship between IT and teaching aids because its important in how that student can learn teaching is including (materials, tools, equipments. etc) that can benefit the students and easy understanding, and faster. and also include audio and visual aids. in my opinion without the teaching aids it will be difficult learning for the teachers and the students.

  28. 1. My definition of Instructional Technology is the way that teacher follows in order to achieve the correct goals of teaching and learning process, starting from planning the process, ending with evaluating after teaching.

    2. The relation between IT and teaching aids in my point of view is:
    The facilities of teaching aids that teachers have in the school can identify the characteristic of teaching learning process. I mean if the school was supplied with more teaching aids, the more teaching learning strategies options the teachers will be able to use.
