Hello from TOJET

 

TOJET welcomes you.   

 

In this century, technological advances have been rapid, with the result that distributors of educational hardware and software are constantly coming up with new options for global organizations, individuals, and families.  These technological advances have led to a variety of new educational practices.  A relatively new practice for global educators is e-learning. In the world, k12 and university level education have adopted the use of internet in the instruction of courses, and the educational system has benefited greatly from the internet. 

 

As global society begins to live in the 21st century, one of the principal goals of global education is to offer equal educational opportunities for all students.  To achieve this objective at the all levels, educators use e-learning system to deliver instruction through internet.  In this system, learning and teaching facilities made available in one place are delivered to one or more other places using internet.  

 

The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology is online journal and published only through internet.  In online system, accessing articles is available in one place are delivered to all over the world using internet.  TOJET`s quality research papers on theory, applications and development of educational technology can be reached easily from Asia, America, Europe, Australia, and others through internet.

 

The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology is the center of research about educational technology used in instruction.  The main goal of TOJET is to establish a bridge the gap between theory and practice. To help bridge the gap, TOJET provides readers with the new developments in educational technology world-wide and a main source for academics and professionals in the expanding fields of educational technology.  Articles consist of all kinds of quality research on theory, applications and development of educational technology. 

 

I am always honored to be the editor in chief of TOJET.  I am always proud of TOJET for its valuable contributions to the field of educational technology. 

 

TOJET is interested in academic articles on the issues of educational technology.  The articles should talk about using educational technology in classroom, how educational technology impacts learning, and the perspectives of students, teachers, school administrators and communities on educational technology.  These articles will help researchers to increase the quality of both theory and practice in the field of educational technology.
