This topic is all about the origin of technology and the Information Communication Technology. This section takes a look at how ICT and technology had advanced thoughout history. 

The picture below shows the development of computers:

 ICT is now highly used in the field of education. through ICT, images can easily be used in teaching and improving the retentive memory of students, teachers can easily teach the lesson and enhance syudents' comprehension and teachers are able to make the discussion creative so the students may enjoy the learning that could improve students attendance and concentration. ICT in education means "teaching and learning with ICT. Educational ICT tools can be divided into 3 categories: Input source, Output source and others.

Experience:

As I had experienced to be trained using new technologies especially with the use of computer, I could really say that ICT really make a big impact to the learners. The sense of socialization, confidence and competence will really be developed when one knows he/she had coped-up to what others can already do. Experience is the best teacher; teachers must let the students to experience ICT. Just like in the previous courses/subjects including high school, I had experienced to use and learn computer and internet, explore the different software online and learned to socialize in the world of ICT. The learning are of great help for me to become equipped and communicative.

Reflection:

As a reflection on this topic, we know that through the evolving high technology today, there is a big possibility that teachers may be of no importance to the young learners since they can already easily acquire knowledge on their own through the new technology. However, teachers must instill to the minds of the learners and show to them that those things are just supplement for learning. Teachers are the best instructional tool in the classroom since there is no such thing that can replace the role of teachers in facilitating learning.

Application:

Worldwide research has shown that ICT can lead to improved student learning and better teaching methods. As a future teacher, this lesson can be applied in the field through the implementation of new teaching strategies integrating those new technologies today. Since the main target of the teacher is the students’ interests in order for them to learn, and ICT is the trend for today’s generation, then it should be integrated with the instruction today. 

High technology may continue to grow, but it must be kept in mind that in learning, there is no such thing that can replace the role of a teacher. Watch this video :-)
