THE STUDENT

My name is Camila C. Hacildo. I was born on May 22, 1996.19 years of age. Currently residing at Alawijao, Badian, Cebu.

I’m a third year student taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Industrial Technology at Cebu Technological University-Moalboal Campus.

Educational Technology

INTRODUCTION

Some say that the educational technology is a barrier or destruction in learning. Computer technology and Internet is a very important tool in transforming the traditional classroom into one that is learner-centered. We cannot deny the fact that the modern students are into the technology and gadgets, so the best way to learn all the stuff inside the classroom is the integration of technology in learning.

Educational Technology is a field of study which is concerned with the practice of using educational methods and resources for the ultimate goal of facilitating the learning process.

WHAT IS EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY?

Educational technology is a “complex, integrated process involving people, procedures,ideas,devices and organization for analyzing problems and devising,implementing evaluating and managing solutions to those problems involved in all aspects of human learning.”

Educational technology is a profession like teaching.Educational technology “consists of the designs and

environments that engage learners and reliable techniques or method for engaging learning such as cognitive learning srategies and critical thinking skills.”

TECHNOLOGY: BOON OR BANE?

After understanding what educational technology is all about, it may be good to reflect on whether this thing called technology is a boon or a bane to education, a blessing or a curse to education.

TECHNOLOGY IS BOON• It can make us feel comfortable

and make things go faster• Make our daily lives become

convenience• It benefits human beings in

many areas such as work, communication, health and leisure

• You will be closer to someone miles and miles away when it comes in communicating,etc.

TECHNOLOGY IS BANE• Made humans to reliant on

them• Can harm the environment

to a certain extent as they all need power to operate

• Radiation will harm people• Can make user’s mind lazy,

etc.

Technology is a blessing for man. With technology there is a lot that we can do which we could not do then.

Information Technology is transmitting, sharing, comprehend knowledge through the use of technology.

The focus of ICT is the instructional medias that the learners and teachers can use to acquire learning and information about a specific lesson.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Hypermedia

Hypermedia is a multimedia. It is a educational computer software where information is shown and student activities are integrated in a virtual learning environment.

In using hypermedia, you can get the learners' attention, recall prior learning, guide and access the learning and performance of the student.

Cooperative Learning with the Computer

The goverment cannot provide the appropriate number of computers. The cooperative learning will be the answer to the implementation of IT in schools. In a way that the students can use one computer by 2-3 students.Coopertive Learning is a leraning by small group of students who work together in a particular task.

Computer as a Tutor

Computer can be a tutor in a way that it can be used in facilitate the learning process of the student. Student can follow easily the flow of the discussion of a teacher when they are using computer/technologies.

The computer is just a guide for the student to be more knowledgable in a specific topic.

Computer as a Teacher Tool

The teacher can employ the computer as information tool, communocation tool, constructive tool, co-constructive tool and situating tool.

The computer can provide access information, foster creative social knowldege building , and enhance the communication. Also it can help the teachers and students to focus on more high level cognitive tasks.

• Supports constructivist and social constructivist paradigms of learning.

• The Computer’s Capabilities– An information tool– A communication tool– A constructive tool– As co-constructive tool– A situating tool

• The Education Technology 1 has truly paved the way for the learner to become aware, appreciative and equipped to use educational technology 1 tools ranging from traditional to modern educational media. Truly, the foundation for a truly satisfying exposure to educational technology has been firmly laid down by the ET- 1 course, starting with the through treatment of the history of educational technology, quality education, and the roles of ET in the 21th millennium.

LEARNING THROUGH EDTECH1 AND

EDTECH2

• There are many reasons why educational technology is very important. There is a purpose why educational technology is taught in schools. Because educational technology 1 and 2 wants the student to know what is the use and how to use the instructional media in relation to education/teaching

• Using instructional material is an effective way of engaging the students to the real world situation. Nowadays, the teahers are discussing their lesson with the use of instructional medias Also, based on observation, the technology help us to have a better learning. We can easily understand and receive the information.

We can easily understand and receive the information.

• A future educator must know the know the right use of instructional medias so that the computer will never replace the teacher. The teacher must be the one who will manipulate the computer, it is just a material that will help the teacher and the student to be more connected to one another.

• Educational technology 2 is concerned 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. Mainly directed to student teachers, also professional teachers who may wish to update their knowledge of educational technology, it is our goal that this course can help our target learners to weave technology in teaching with software (computer programmed learning materials) becoming a natural extension of their learning tools.

THE STUDENT AFTER EDTECH

• Today, the students are called the 21st century learners. When we say 21st century learners the students are living in a modern world who are using end encountered technology in their everyday life. They are individuals that can use technologies in good way to have a better learning.

The 21st century learners are able to:

• apply technology to their lives effectively, in a way they can use it to learn better.

• what is the importance of educational technology• know what is the purpose of the educational technology• make instructional material that is connected to a

particular topic• know the right way of using technology• know the limitations of using technology
