Definition of Educational Technology 

 important systems on which any country in the world is based; one of the main reasons for the progress of States is their interest in the educational system and their prioritization of building a solid foundation M attic present shiny and bright future driven towards progress and prosperity, and the technology invaded the various aspects of life, 

and has become the technological development of the most important measures of the progress of nations, and technology included different education systems, there became a new concept called the name of education technology. 

Definition of Instructional Technology Instructional Technology (Instructional Technology) is an integrated system that prepares and implements the educational process to achieve objective goals using the latest educational research through the use of human and non-human resources to provide an atmosphere of fruitful learning and to increase the effectiveness and impact to reach the desired goals of learning , The term education technology has been defined by many educational and development institutions and organizations as follows: [1] UNESCO definition of education technology:

 UNESCO has defined education technology as an organized curve based on Heart, implementation, and evaluation of the educational process as clear and specific targets using all available resources to make the education process more effective. The American Education Technology Committee defined the concept of educational technology:

 The American Education Technology Committee defined this concept as the paradigm of the educational system that goes beyond all means and tools. It is not limited to a particular method or technological device, but all are for the development of the educational program. The stages of the development of the concept of educational technology The educational means passed through many stages and labels, and these stages are: [2] [3] Visual education stage: 

This stage was adopted in education on the sense of sight by presenting a visual model or a picture of the thing to be understood; 80-900% of the individual's experiences are obtained by sight.

The System Approach and the Development of Learning Systems:

 The concept of the system is defined as a set of organized components that work in an integrated manner to achieve a specific goal. This concept is considered very important in the development of the education process in order to be able to absorb all ideas of materials to be taught, 

To integrate traditional education with modern collective and individual education. Behavioral Science: A science that is concerned with the behavior, the response shown by the learner, and the shift from materials that introduce learning materials to programmed learning methods. 

Education Technology Stage: At this stage, emphasis has been placed on thinking on problem solving, setting goals, focusing on the use of tools and hardware, and linking them to materials and software. Components of Educational Technology Education technology consists of the following elements: [1] [4] Theory and practice: 

All knowledge and systems taught are based on specific theories and practical practices that provide the learner with the concepts and principles desired. Design, development, use, management and evaluation: 

The process of education must be designed in a way that attracts the learner and clarifies it, followed by the development of tools and means in line with the process of design and use, and then effectively manage these methods and evaluate them for the educational process. 

Operations and resources: Processes include a series of actions directed towards a specific goal, and resources are the facilities that are provided to support the learning process. Learning is an activity that aims to give the learner a specific skill or knowledge. Education is the design and systematic approach that helps the learner achieve the change he wants to perform.

Educational content: ideas, theories, values, and trends that are shaped into images, words, or animations. Materials: are the means by which education is transmitted to the learner

. Hardware and equipment: Tools and devices used to produce and display other sources, such as cameras, computers. Places: The environment in which the learner interacts with learning resources, such as the school building, the laboratory, and the library.

 Methods: are the methods and strategic steps practiced by individuals, and are used in educational materials and devices. The importance of educational technology The importance of educational technology is summarized in the following: [3] Improving the educational process, and activating the role of
