LESSON 2: AN OVERVIEW: EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 2

LESSON 2: AN OVERVIEW: EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 2

A.     Summary

Educational Technology 2 is conserved with “integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning”. Specifically this is focused on introducing, reinforcing, supplementing and extending the knowledge and skills to learners so that they can become exemplary users of educational technology. Necessarily, Educational Technology 2 will involve a deeper understanding of the computer as well as hands- on application of the computer skills.

In essence, the curse aims to infuse technology in the student-teachers training, helping them to adapt and meet rapid and continuing technological changes, particularly in the thriving global information and communication technology (ICT) environment.

More specifically, the course objectives are:

·         To provide education in the use of technology n instruction by providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners

·         To impart learning experiences in instructional technology supported instructional planning

·         To acquaint students on information technology or IT-related learning theories with the computer as a tutor

·         To learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources

·          To engage learners on practical technology integration issues including managing IT classrooms, use of the internet for learning, cooperative learning through the use of information technology

·         To in calculate higher-level thinking and creativity among students while providing them knowledge of IT- related learning theories

B.     Experience

In educational technology, it introduces a lot, like the web- projects and resources. It gives another exiting learning for the students; in here it gives opportunity for the students to explore the internet and how to properly use it, most specially in doing research. In ET2 also introduce the online messaging which is the use of e-mail, and introduce a web-project like joining the blog.

C.     Reflection

In educational technology 2, it introduces a lot of project that could really enhance the things that we learned from educational technology 1. It helps use explore the internet, and to properly use the net which very useful for our research in the future. This learning will help us on the future during our teaching.

In learning these new experiences, this will not only help in our teaching in the future but also in other work relating to technology. Actually, if you are computer literate this will be a big advantage when apply in the future, because of the fact that our future will be already run by the technology, and students are also very literate in using the computers.

Learning these new experiences will help us in our future teaching, to achieve a successful teaching-learning process. This will give us better presentations of our lesson that will give us more interactive class.

D.     Application

If everyone will be interested in learning about technology, they realize that technology is a very helpful tool in achieving a successful teaching-learning process. We also give a good discussion to our students and we also present our lesson very well where all our students will very interactive because of the exiting experience that a technology can offer to the teaching- learning process.
