use of digital technology,
communication tools and/ or
networks to access,
manage, integrate, evaluate,
create, and communicate
information to
function in a knowledge society
(Guro, 2011).
3. Educational Technology refers
to the use of technology in

providing video chat and voice calls
between computers, tablets, mobile
devices via internet to regular
telephones.
7. Offline Digital Tools and Apps
can still be used even if there is no
internet
access. Among these are Cannary
learning , Pocket, Evertone, ibooks,
KA
LITE (Gupta, Prinyaka, 2017)
downloaded in ed tech review.
8. Instructional Technology is
the theory and practice of
design,
development, utilization,
management, and evaluation of
the processes
and resources for learning.
9. Software refers to program
control instructions and
accompanying
documentation; turn on disc or
