Lesson #17


Educational Technology 2 Practicum


After all had been discuss,those things are becoming more significant in the field of teaching.We have to imply all the things that we have learned,even if we have a different field of specialization,we can be all rounded in the field of teaching because of the presence of the internet.The existence of the computer and the internet signifies that it is possible for a much faster flow of information that will be a factor in the teaching and learning process.The process has always a limitation during the time of traditional teaching,but now there are a lot of possibilities of success in the field of learning.As we go on to the age of technology,let's make this as an advantage in terms of making teaching as an enjoyable field and an learning experience for the student.

Lesson #16


The Internet and Education.



Everybody is looking for a way to have an access to a computer.Now,in the field of education it is already link to each other.As we all now,internet is a whole network,a computer which are connected to each other that shares and has a capability to share knowledge or something like idea towards a particular topic.Now the students are encourage to be in hands-on experience with the computer for a better learning.It is a necessity of the educational system to have the computer,those who adjusted and those who already understand the means of having the power of the most influential machine that transforms everything,to be exact,it transforms the educational system.


It will be a lasting experience because the computer provide the proper presentation of learning programs.Discovery approaches in teaching is the best link that the computer have,because with the power of internet,the biggest possibility is learning by their own exploration that the internet can provide.

Lesson #15


Understanding Hypermedia.


The sequence of providing the manner of activity.The way everything is presented to the educational technology.The understanding of the learners capability to comprehend,to learn and to get the lesson that they have.It can provide the learners their necessity of getting the environment that they need.All multimedia is in,the multimedia that provide learning to the students.But all the integration towards learning for the student will be present.It is not just an ordinary package of multimedia that is normally installed in a computer but it is the part where it is very useful for education and the teaching and learning process.Things like tutorial learning packages that in the previous blog that i have i discuss that the tutorial packages are maximize in the presence of the computer.

Lesson #14


The Software as an Educational Resource.


In education,a computer is useless without all the programs or software that are installed to it.There are softwares that are created in an excellent way of presenting,innovating,integrating the available capabilities of the computer.It's a huge help for the teachers.The software can deliver much enough educational resource to every facilitators of learning.We can expect that every years will pass,we will eventually learn the importance of software in delivering the said learning.

Modern age requires much update,it means that the institution should make the learning flows.We have to think that the source right now will come in this form of delivering and enhancing learning in style of the new age.It is becoming a necessity in terms of linking learning and the technology available.The two comes together,the more computer resources you have,the software that you installed,the faster we can get the learnings or the ideas available,the more effective and the more comprehensive learning we can get.

Lesson #13


Cooperative Learning with the Computer.


The cooperative learning is always present in the availability of computer.As i had mention in my previous blogs, the students will be able to collectively organize and gather their ideas in the world of internet.Different sources for a certain topic with the same goal of learning for the students.Last thing they could have is that they can adjust to their ideas presented because of a well organize giving and sharing of knowledge opinion and sources.The well coordinated presentation will make other learners motivated to coordinate with other studies that they will take.


There will be a better effort for the student to express their ideas because they know they will be aided in their studies.A tough situation is when you have a study in your own without having the opinion of the others.As i can say,many heads are better than a single head.Every learners will ride on a single given thing to study.

Lesson #12


Information Technology in Support of Student-Centered Learning.



The Information Technology is the best help to the Student-Learning Learning. It is primarily because of the presence of the information that the computer provide.In another way of explaining, in student-centered learning, students will base everything on their focus or field of study.It is he best situation for those teachers or institution who are adopting this kind of teaching.They are expected to interact with the different students and different sources of information.



The traditional form of teaching is slowly fading because of the information technology, it really comes out with a purpose of effectivity in the field of teaching. They will be allowed to present everything from the point of source, the computer itself.There will be no risk of relying on the computer as a source of aid in student-centered learning.

Lesson #11


The Computer as the Teacher's Tool.





It's pretty obvious that teacher should adopt to the new technology. The new age signifies the much easy access towards learning. As teachers, we should know how to present everything to the learners for much effective teaching learning process. We will have the upper hand over the tradional based kind of teaching. But the worst is we don't take advantage of what the technology can provide. The sophistication and the speed of giving information to us that we will disscuss to the students is crucial for us,between the learners and the teachers. Computer is obviously accurate because there are those websites with excellent provider of information.

Tedious task of researching and making visual presentations are huge obstacles for every educators.What we have now is the challenge to know how to make computer as our good tool,and use it as a:
Information Tool,Communication Tool,Situation tool and a co-constructive tool. We will benefit from everything that computer features bring. Much better relief and a much better aid.

Lesson #10


The Computer as a Tutor.


Computer is a reliable tutor for everyone. There are specific task that can be materialized by the computer. In every way learners wanted to learn. Computer is a unique tutorial machine that can aid everything,especially learning. Fun way of learning will always be featured in the computer. Learning is expected to be fun and for sure,it's effectivity will not be underestimated. Everyone wants to have a computer but for fun only, now teachers should make every kids and every learners to realize the advantage of having such a machine of innovation.


Advantages are many to enumerate, the vast capability of the computer is for sure can aid learning. The tough times in the classroom for a teacher in handling learners with different interest,the computer itself is a great help.
Teachers should instruct students in a way that the students will know how to learn from their own pace and learning in the right way.It can motivate learning also,because of it's different features and programs to enhance learnings.

Lesson #9


Computers as Information and Communication Technology.




Every computer which has internet access are well capable of expanding the knowledge of a certain individual in terms of opinion from every source and the facts that are gathered and compiled in every website. It is the primary source of knowledge or information anyway you want it,explore and discover every piece of information that you can organize. Every man who has a knowledge can provide and post,every comments will count to the curiosity that everyone have.
Knowledge will be in many ways,videos,pictures,graphs.Instructional medias come into way,which is provided by the computers.
Everything in computer can be also a means of communication,emails to be specific.Many things are provided by the computer.The technology will help the level of learning increase with catching the interest of the students.

Lesson #8


Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-Based Projects.





This is the chance for the student to show their higher thinking skills and the creativity that the IT based learning environment provided a practice environment to them. Activities are expected to be a knowledge exploration type of activities. Searching for informations, organizing the gathered data, synthesizing ideas, and to create presentations.
IT based projects are capable of developing higher thinking skills and creativity among learners.
* Resource-based projects
* Simple Creations
* Guided Hypermedia projects
* Web-based projects.

The webpages int the internet can gain a lot of ideas from all throughout the world of technology.Links can be found,especially the those educational website.

Lesson #7


IT for Higher Thinking Skills and Creativity.




The teachers should understand the higher capability of the student to understand the higher thinking skills and their own creativity. To understand everything much deeper,IT is and aid for this two important factors of learning for the teaching and learning activities. There are specific frameworks for the teachers to follow.

Things in teaching and learning that can be included in this activities are 
designing,generating,brain storming,evaluating,integrating. Things that are only present to a students that are taught in the new way of teaching that follows the IT.

Sub-skills that can be found just within the process of higher thinking skills and creativity.

LESSON #6

IT Enters A New Learning Environment.

Teachers of the new age will try to enhance learning through new style of learning activities which can give an assurance to the learning of every students. Students of the new age can adopt to this method of teaching with the availability of the internet. Students for sure will be interested of the potential capabilities of the computer that is beyond any learning materials that teachers used in the traditional style of teaching. 
Everything has a meaning for the students  in this form of teaching. These 3 can be present in IT entering into the learning environment of the students.
* Discovery in every ideas that the computer can present,exploration will surely lead to discovery of important learning,students experience the exploration of knowledge and discovery that's why the most possible thing is the retention and learning with heart.
* Generative Learning which will allow the students to come up and produce their ideas and learnings,generate new ideas which will help them in a lot of ways,the best thing it can give to the students is the comprehensive analysis on everything that they had explored.
* Constructivism comes last,in such a way that from those explored and discovered ideas, students can create the fact of the given topic. It is the most essential factor of the teaching in the age of the computer.

Lesson #5

State-of-the-Art ET Application Practices




The State-of-the-Art ET Application Practices requires much adoption to the educators,the competence is much required on the teacher.There are aids or modern day trends,but the school requires fast pace of acquiring technology or need to update.If the institution wants a the available technology,investing to the technology is the best thing to do.The computer pedagogy is the best provider of good instruction,that this modern technology must motivate the teachers to acquire much computer skills.They have to think that their students can outclass them in terms of computer literacy among their students,that's why teachers should take advantage to that facts,that they should let the students work on their strength through their facilitation.Teachers should be expert enough to tell them what to do,and giving them a project that they will develop their critical thinking.Everything also requires much higher on assessing and measuring of skills and critical thinking acquired by the students.When you recap the benefit,you have the constructivist type in teaching and learning process.It support a lot on the process.The technology can also provide the teachers with the programs that will make their job much easier,with the presentations software and the spreadsheets.

Lesson #4

Basic Concepts of Integrating Technology in Instruction


In chapter 4,in integrating the technology in instruction is a doubt for many because for many students they just use it for fun.For many students and teachers,they are not yet considered that the technology is ready to be in instruction.In the way today,the games are not related to the instruction or the purpose of education.There is a need for us to take advantage to this in a right way that it can be applied to the learners.Student-teachers are trained to introduce,reinforce,supplement and extend the skills to their learners.The believer of technology are convince that it will help a lot,because students are expected to learn not just in the classroom but outside the classroom.The learning extend outside the school,means it will go beyond what the teachers expect,they can study a particular topic given by the teacher in their own,if you just compare it to the printed materials the knowledge are limited.I personally believe that before i go to teaching,to the field,i have to train and engage myself on computer literacy enough to give the students activity that will relate to the learning and educating.I will expect that there will be a huge change and it can be achieved through technology,quality of education is much higher,how the technology will help in teaching the topic,much easier in making instructional strategy.The technology can provide everything in a lot of ways.

The implication of the technology to the region to take the right way to divert the old traditional to the modern way.The progress of a nation will surely demand the availability of technology.The goals of every nation is to provide a vast amount of easy way to learn and to create an educational technology environment in every school.They have their educational program in the basis of technology.It's amazing how advance this nation in providing the new educational program to their students.They have the goals of bringing with them the educational system of the new century. and the envision to support the capabilities of the school to use the information,they consider it as the biggest factor in teaching-learning process.Their curriculum primarily supported ICT.The Malaysians are linking their technology to the internet highly accessible online.The Singaporean are committed to provide their schools with the facilities with the modern facilities.Hongkong believes that the quality and the availability of the internet can raise up the quality of education,their teachers will be trained in the stations.In our country,it is the most difficult thing to have or to achieve,whatever the plans of the Department of Education for our educational system,it is still an impossible dream,even the good quality classroom the government can't provide.They added years in basic education which is a big problem,we lack teachers and classroom,if I have the authority,the budget for books,K+12 will be diverted to a modern curriculum supported by the computer.

Lesson #2

An Overview of Educational Technology 2

In the priority of the Educational Technology 2 is much deeper as it is,considered to be the 2nd stage in studying the capabilities of the technology,to make it focused to the reinforcements,supplementing and extending all the learning so that they will transform to real technology uses.Help the educators to target learners to become a natural extension of the useful learning tools.But this Educational Technology 2 is not more primarily focused in any direction of computer skills alone but the most important thing is to direct and improve the process of teaching and learning through the utilization of technology.It helps the students-teachers training and help them to adopt and meet the rapid changes in the vast world of technology where in the availability of the knowledge is hands-on away.Integration of instruction to learners,help learners in instructional technology supported instructional planning use of technology of the classroom settting and the creativity among learners can be provided to them by the learning theories.

Lesson #1

A REVIEW OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 1

It is all about how you can appreciate and integrate the technology with the smooth transition of the traditional to modern educational media. The trends truly help the learning process, the Educational Technology 1 the basement of all this introduction to technology introduce the learners on how they will utilize technology in the best way possible, making them understand that the presence of technology will aid in the best learning experience.Into applying the Educational Technology to instruction to show the different dimension that Educational Technology bring.The setting up of learning objectives,designing the specific learning experiences,evaluation of learning experience,and the whole process of teaching learning experience.The presence of the new technology .which it can use for instruction,and equipment,materials of the learning media to more effective learning, a huge help to teaching and learning process.

Lesson #18

Roles and Functions of an Educational Media Center

The Educational Media Center can really play a huge role in a institution or school that will love to implement constructivist type of learning. In this area you will expect a lot of films and upgraded form of teaching to your students. In there, upgrading is necessary. Constuctivist type of teaching is impossible without any shown technology. All things should be found there, audio,videos,pictures and all sort of learning things. Obvious functions are there, and the roles are important as a source of guided knowledge you wanna teach to your students. You just need to make sure that they are guided properly on what concepts are created by your learners.

Lesson #17

Assessment in a Constructivist,Technology-Supported Learning

When you are teaching using much of Constructivist way, it is obviously much supported with technology. Evaluating in such variety of ways specially in your possessing ways to deliver the knowledge and guidance with them. They have created their own concept that will deliver much answers to you. You will need to be actively creative to use and utilize much of the technology. As it was defined,the knower is the creator of concept.They are always seeking for solutions, the new technologies can support the Constructivist learning very well. For example, the devices that shows students, television, you will try to let the students to create or be creative in their ideas. You can expect as a teacher that not all your students will probably get the ideas what you want to show to them. Assess them in a way where you will understand not exactly but more closely to the ideas. We got to know the purposes of the constructivism, that it is not transmitted but created, that the prior knowledge and experience can impact more then transmitted, you should not think globally but locally, and all this things requires a lot of effort and activities that has a lot of purpose. All this things are considered in assessment.

Lesson #16

Using the Project based Learning Multimedia as a Teaching-Learning Strategy

In teaching using based Learning Multimedia as a teaching learning strategy, the constructivism is much emphasized than any forms of learning ways. In this way, guiding the students of what they will create and learn from what you will instruct. This way they can create or formulate some problems and will try to create their own creative ways to solve it. In the best way of teaching, letting the students to formulate their problems and solutions can provide a lot of sub-solutions and they will have the learning or sequencing of the gained idea. This is a student-centered way of teaching. Students can work and create ideas freely, they will learn a lot and will try to engage students to complex. They can create products from real world experiences. They will learn to sequence sources from their own concept,primarily ideas from first hand experience.

Lesson #15

Project-based Learning and Multimedia : What it is?

Learning should be an projected base in enhancing animations so that the student will be engage in learning. It is needed, the absorption of every lesson that they will have to learn while you are giving them a task. You have to be better in using so that they will have quality in just short period of time. You will need to make them enjoy learning in your approach. The multimedia is also one of the biggest leap of technology, because here you will get different types of means, because this can give you the vision, the audio learning. Presenting them to the students in different way of dimensions. In this you will have to understand what activity you can engage the student in the learning task.

Lesson #14

Maximizing the use of Overhead Projector and the Chalkboard

Despite the advancement of technology, we still have to consider the use of chalkboard. We can never assure the availability of high technology in remote places. All throughout educating the students, the absence of high technology is not an excuse in giving a quality education. In old fashion teaching, you just have to be good in utilizing the available materials. In this lesson, techniques are discussed to utilize the use of chalk. We have to come up with alternative ways to deliver the lesson. The chalkboard techniques are very helpful. There are a lot of options where we can choose the appropriate techniques for the lesson. There is a better option that fits with the existence of technology, the overhead projector. In this lesson, you will learn how to be an expert in making the most out of the overhead projector.

Lesson #13

Teaching with Visual Symbols

Teaching with visual symbols is important in the classroom, after you deliver a class with a real world experience we have to follow this time with visual symbols. The different kinds of visual symbols can be used in different purposes to demonstrate or to organize your discussion through symbols. Obviously, graphs are easier to understand than word discussion. Your discussion should possess concrete visual aids using the symbols. In cartoons, it is used to interpret what you want to impart to your students or to the class. The strip drawings are used to entertain and at the same time, using dialogs and drawings can ask an insight from your class in similar experiences they had. On the other hand, the diagram is used to set up illustrations to your class to display statistics that is significant in your discussion. Lastly, maps show the charted places and locations in the world. There are specifications and kinds of visual symbols that are suitable to what you want to discuss. Everything still depends on the topic and the kind of visual symbols that you will use.

Lesson #12

Lesson # 12: The Power Of Film, Video and T.V In the Classroom

The Power of Film, Video and T.V in the classroom in the modern technology, we have to adopt to it so well that we have to take advantage. In the old way of teaching, discussion from the books are most common but not the most effective. Especially on Science and History subjects, it is so practical to show them a movie clip to make them create their concept. In the film, for me it is the best way of bringing back the past, it also provides sequence of movements or events in the topic and even if it just visual view for the learner, it’s a better way of making them create or to start their concept. Films are obviously created shot from the past of a purpose to share it in the future. It plays a significant role in the classroom, for a practical effective teaching. The collaborated videos that are intended for a single purpose of learning becomes an informative film, in a sense that it possess a lot of things to learn. In this ways along with the television, it has a nice combo of delivering your explanation to your learner. It is now claim to use technology in the purpose of learning and it is all about Boon in technology or the benefits.

Lesson #11

Lesson # 11: Field Trips

The field trips is one of the many easy ways on how to share knowledge because at some point it gives them the first hand experience to your students. Making most out of the surroundings or environment to give your students every experience that they need to create a concept or ideas. The community is the best resource that you can rely on and it will provide a lot of things in their learning, you just have to be selective in providing them the best venue that will show a lot of things that are exactly close related to your lessons. There are some instances that some teachers are not maximizing the features of the environment, they just simply bring the students to the field but just showing them, letting them see the field, obviously it is a firsthand experience but they will have a different concept on what they see on the field. The best thing to explain there is that learners are so unique that you will have to guide them in their learning in the field trip.

Lesson # 10

Lesson # 10: Demonstrations in Teaching

The demonstrations in teaching are so important, specially of what you are going to teach are highly complicated things to explain. Now as an excellent mentor, you have to be good at it, you have to do multiple efforts for a better learning to take place in your students. It will be added to their intellectual skills of getting clues why a particular things exist and that’s where their concept build up and do create their ideas towards a particular thing. It is a simple way but complicated way of promoting your lessons to your learners. To show them clearly and openly by action of existence of an object. This is a logical proving to your students about what theories that have been encircling around the things in your topic. These things are always be defined as the use of practical experimentation for purposes of teaching. The best way to teach the things that are difficult to deal with, when your discussing is the method of demonstration.

Lesson # 9

Lesson 9: Teaching with Dramatized Experience

In teaching with Dramatized experience, you will have to show the student what you want to impart to them. There are so many ways to do all those things, methods that you should follow and you should think that it is not all about showing them with a constant object, or an exact replica of a particular thing but you also need to show the students how things work by sequence. In the part of the teacher, he/she
should have a huge amount of idea of a particular experience to try to make the students value what they are watching. Huge part of this are events that you are going to teach your students, in this way there is a bigger possibility of understanding & comprehension. In learners part, it is also understandable or the idea will be embedded into their minds if it is shown, it is performed, or it is act according to everything written, that instead of discussing it and not all the students have enough first hand experience to know or to have an instant comprehension, you have this method of dramatizing. There, they will have their way of understanding it because it is acted appropriately. And obviously much more retaining of knowledge because it is in the near the bottom of the pyramid.
