The rapid development of Modern technology has brought opportunities and challenges for educational technology development. Appearing at the age of science and technology penetrating to all areas of society and scientific education, educational technology has become a new subject area. In 2005, AECT (the Association for Educational Communications and Technology) re-defined the term of educational technology again, it marks that educational technology theory and practice as an independent subjects has been established。Since the establishment of systematic educational technology, it produced many important influences on education aspects, and it has promoted various technologies physical properties occurred fundamental change in education. But its deeper developments have far not achieve the expectations people think it should role in Education, and its strongly practicality does not mean the efficient education activities generating.Research and analysis on domestic and foreign country show that the backwardness on the fundamental theory study has become a bottleneck in the development of Educational Technology. The fundamental theory of educational technology includes three parts, first, the philosophy studies of educational technology research, second, the scientific aspects of educational technology research, and third, the technology level of educational technology research. There is very little theory research on the philosophical level, such as humanism, ethics, etc. View of this, this article combined with the production and development of educational technology background, with the theory point of the relationship– education, technology, and human, reflecting the lack of educational technology humanism, from a "rational" technology point, we can interpret the technology "mountings" nature, and thus, we can critically reflect on the"technology - media"concept. Then from five perspectives, they are media extensions, language controlling thought, network, the recognizing patterns, and virtual reality, to critically reflect on the relationship of"technology - human". In the information age, basing on the new background of digital survival, we proposed digital thinking, which carries the social responsibility among individuals and social morality between the individuals and society from the perspective of humanistic, and people-oriented is the reconstruction embodies of educational technology humanism connotation; Meanwhile, basing on the analysis of beyond airspace - the another new background in the information age, we proposed the integration of technology and education, and education- oriented is the reconstruction important points of educational technology humanism connotation.Reconstructing the connotation of educational technology humanism, promoting the national humanism with the characteristics of times, integrating and balancing the relationship between the educational technology developments in information age and human developments, grasping with the right development direction of educational technology with humanism, and guiding its scientific practice, we expect to promote the faster and more healthy development of modern educational technology.
