Lesson 2: An Overview of Educational Technology 2
 
            Educational Technology 2 talks about integrating technology into teaching and learning process for an effective outcome. It emphasizes how users will use and apply his or her knowledge and skills as to the different modern educational media presented from the previous course. In this course it encourages teachers and learners to combine education and technology at the same time the school administrators to be more knowledgeable in using the technology in instruction and management of their schools. Learners can also be mindful and equipped as to the usage of different technology tools from traditional to modern educational media. The lesson had also presented the course objectives like providing education in the use of technology in instruction by providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners, impart learning experiences in instructional planning, learn to use and evaluate computer-based-educational resources, etc.

As to the experience, when I was in elementary in my computer class I had an experience of using the computer in a positive way by experiencing new things like learning how to use print screen, copy and paste it to MS Word, MS PowerPoint and MS Excel. In Educational Technology 1 also, our instructor gave us many activities and task to improve the way we make our reports to supplement and effectively teach the students soon. The things that have been taught to us were very useful as a future teacher then since one of the goals of a teacher is to focus on the catering and supplementing the needs of the learners.

As to the reflection, dealing with technology is not solely talking about computers, but all modern media available to us today and computer is one of these. By that, it is a challenge for us future teachers and to those who are teachers already to use both traditional and modern educational media as educational tools to widen the learners’ knowledge and cope up with their lesson easily. All the modern technology nowadays are of great used but as a teacher we should always bear in mind that learning should not always depend through the use of technologies. That is why we should use new tools and strategies in the teaching-learning process for traditional teaching are still in need for some aspect. This Educational Technology 2 will be more challenging to learn and I know there will be lot of integration and interesting task that will be given to improve our skills.

As to the application, the reason why this course is introduced is for us to know that there is a great benefit as to putting together the technology into teaching and learning so that learners will improve in a positive way their learning. The objectives of this course also would instruct, acquaint and bring us to the higher level of Educational Technology. We are lucky that the integration of technology into teaching and learning is now in practice and included in the curriculum. By that, we should learn to value the importance of computer and other technologies and know the limitations upon using it.

1 komento:

  1. Educational technology is "the study and the ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resource."Educational technology is the use of both physical hardware and educational theoretics. The progressive teacher or the 21st learning facilitator is dependent to three factors before deciding to create a learning material for learners to manipulate or explore:
    1.the learning outcomes or result which is based also on three assessment type (summative, formative and diagnostic assessment),

    2.the feedbacks of which is the data to consider before designing the learning material (This is the technology of modern learning designs are introduce.) Remember that in the K12 system collaboration is essential. The school is composed of the School Head, the Staff, and the Parents (our clients). In considering feedbacks do you use what platform? One of the most common platform we use is the "General Assembly Meeting," also sometimes the fb platform. In the facebook platform the advantage is that both the parents as well the the students can post their feedbacks. These feedbacks are important-this is the basis when you consider designing your next learning tech.

    3. The Learning Material Design (here we apply our knowledge in educational psychology: the methods, approaches, strategies, and design) Example, in your technique you applied Cooperative Learning Style (CLS). What kind of CLS will you apply and why? How are they group together? We have a lot of cooperative learning style: Jigsaw I, Jigsaw II, Pair Share, ect., these are all part of the "Framework of Educational Technology." I have much more to say-but seems that you have a smaller space here.
