Experience

            In Ed-Tech 1 and 2, I have experienced and learn how to properly use age-integrating technology in teaching-learning process. We had been taught about the software and programs that can be used as tools and supplement in the classroom instruction. Also, in Edtech I have learned a lot of things that equipped me to construct a lesson plan that involves students with their full potential and interests.

Reflection

            Being an educator is not an easy task since your student depends on your knowledge about a certain topic. Educators are the producers of knowledge while learners are the consumers of that knowledge to achieve a necessary learning outcome. Nowadays, we observed that most learners are eager and curious about learning something and because we are now in these modern times, we must have to link students to technological advancement. Educators are the authorized person to make an innovation to learners and that is to start the modern methods of teaching with the technology as an equipment to acquire knowledge. Thus, teachers should go with the modern and let go of the traditional method.

Application

            With all the things I have learned in this course, I will apply it in the future as a teacher. To integrate technology in the teaching-learning process will be the focal responsibility of being a teacher. With the use of educational technologies, teaching-learning process will be easier, more interactive and focused to students’ progress.
