Educational Technology 1 comprises of different lessons
that begin with concrete experience that leads to abstract one and will then
results to application in the teaching-learning process. The lessons are
interrelated with the other lessons. There is also integration with the other
course as to this course. This is also highly motivating and experiential that
whoever took this course will dwells with any activity that is relevant to
human experience. In Educational Technology 1 the lessons are interactive for
learners analyze the experience and synthesize the same to come up with
concrete generalizations up to the abstract one. It does not only cover the
cognitive domain of a learner but also its affective and psychomotor domains
for learners are tasked to produce a product based on their learning and
understanding of the different lessons. Such lessons include are: the meaning
of educational technology, advantage and disadvantage of technology, roles of
educational technology in learning, systematic approach to teaching, cone of
experiences and so on.
As to the experience, this course taught me a lot. I have
gone through different unusual activities which I did not expect that I was
able to do it. Like making weird invention which our output had met the criteria
and was chosen by our instructor as one of the best output. Another is making a
divergent arrow that shows the differences between educational technology from
technology in education, making a collage showing the advantage and
disadvantage of technology, making different paper works of the different
lessons, making a PowerPoint Presentation that will make our instructor impress
of the way we deliver it and present in the class, editing a photo, making a
comics strip out of a toondoo, making rubrics in the different strategy that
will be used in the teaching-learning process and most of all culminating the
course by having a tarpaulin making at the same time having a film festival
which most of the instructors of the college cannot believe that we are able to
meet the objectives of our instructor.
As
to the reflection, I believe that it is really important to know first what we
are studying about to prepare ourselves in many things to be done for this
course and would not judge it without even experiencing it. This course is not
that easy because time, patience, understanding, cooperation, trust and money
are highly needed to be able to succeed in this course. But I tell you,
accomplishing this course is worthwhile and all the things that you have given to
this course will be paid off in the end. It was such an overwhelming to my part
having experience such things because not all of the student in the university
are given the chance of experiencing this course because this is just offered
to Education students. I am very grateful to our instructors for uplifting us
in the midst of difficulties, helping us to accomplish different task, for the
time and efforts he gave to each and every one of us and most of all for
imparting his knowledge and skills to this course.
As
an application, the generalizations, concepts, theories and principles that I
have learned will be used to make technology as a user-friendly. I should be
mindful enough on how I teach in the near future especially that practicum is
fast approaching. I should also be reminded that what I have learned in this
course will be used for an interactive, experiential, integrative and
constructivist approach in teaching so that I will be an effective teacher at
the same time user of technology. The effort that we will give in teaching the
students with the use of the technologies should be equal to the learning that
our students will get; in short there should be a balance and use it wisely.
