This topic reviews the concepts and roles of the course Educational Technology 1. We have learned that ET-1 course really had prepared the way for the learners’ awareness, appreciation and armored them to properly integrate technology in the classroom situation.
Here's a short video showing what really is educational technology:)
Educational Technology 1 tackles the things about the roles of technology in the educational milieu. We have learned the two sides of educational technology, its boon and bane, which are true and evident to the young people of the generation today. The role of ET plays essential in schools since it serves as delivery vehicles for instructional lessons and partners in the teaching-learning process. The course also tackles about the systematic approach to teaching in which the student is the center of the instructional planning. The cone of experience which is a visual and pictorial device that represents bands of experience arranged according to the degree of abstraction. From the bottom of the cone upward is the direct purposeful experiences, contrived experiences, dramatized experiences demonstrations, study trips, exhibits, educational television, motion pictures, recordings/radio/still pictures, visual symbols and verbal symbols respectively. As a whole, Educational Technology 1 teaches us on how to apply technology in the classroom to impact skills in planning, designing, using and evaluating the technology-enriched teaching-learning process.
Experience:
As a student who had took up the course, I had lots of experiences that taught me on how to be more literate in using computer-related works and things like that. I had experienced to make an impressive power point presentation by exploring the Microsoft Powerpoint application and make a presentation that is beyond my ability. The experience taught me not to settle for less and I realized that there is really more we can do on simple things. We just have to appreciate it. Part also of my experience is to make a movie poster which I thought a hard task to do. It boasted my confidence knowing that I can also do what others can. To work also on computer applications in the internet such as in the sites edmodo.com, toondo.com and rubistar.com, really gave me enjoyment and adds up more knowledge for me to become equipped when I will become a professional teacher someday. Rubistar would be a very big help for a teacher when making a rubric for a classroom activities and student tasks. Also, editing and making a movie really had improved my creativity when it comes to media/movie presentation. The film viewing activity really gave us so much pleasure in the sense that we knew that the output came from our efforts and many students have witnessed it. My experience in E-T 1 really was incomparable.
Reflection:
As I reflected upon this topic, I thought of things that might happen in the future. As a future educator, integrating technology in instruction delivery is important especially that the learners that I will be facing belong to a high technology generation. Teachers should really cope-up with what their learners know and prepare themselves to be knowledgeable enough to be effective in their field.
Application:
For me, educational technology contributed a lot to my skills as a future teacher. Educational technology can be applied in many ways. It could be for money-making as an individual since being a computer literate and having knowledge on internet applications is a great edge for an individual striving to live nowadays. Recently, there are lots of internet-based job openings are now offered online. Being knowledgeable about technology will be of great help especially to students since it could be a wide source of knowledge and information. And most importantly, in the classroom setting, the integration and use of technology will provide greater possibilities for learning especially to the technology-oriented learners of the 21st century.
