The application of technology in education field shows a spiffy function. Technology becomes one of the most important factors'teaching media'(the other 3 factors are instructor, student and teaching material), which impact systemic structure. It not only influences on teaching contents and strategies, but also influences on instructional concepts and didactical organizing modality. Without sustentation of technology, especially the modern media hi-tech, educational technology (ET) can not lead a tideway and in-depth development.Surely, the application of technology in ET and education field inpours vital force.

Only in this way can we solve the negative impact or disharmony, and then achieve harmonious accord between the powerful technology and humanistic spirit, technology ration and humanistic ration.
