Experience

         

 Educational Technology is now teaching us to use Blogger.com where our CERAs can be post there. Blogger can now be used as an instructional material for educational purposes since we are in the educational arena. Blogger.com cannot function itself without the access to the internet. In here, we can able to communicate and share our own ideas in learning more on technology. Aside from Blogger.com, we are also task to do just in case we have assignments through self video. I find it great since we need to boost our self-confidence for us to be able to come up with a very informative video which shares own insights and comments.

Reflection

            Technology is indeed a great tool in the educative process. Technology makes education more sophisticated and progressive in terms of instructional materials and its way of teaching. I just realized that if we are with use of technology, we are not far behind from the tech trends of the world. It just matters of how we will employ it. If we have a lot of skills and knowledge about technology, the better we teach the concepts to students and the more they understand it. There are so much more in technology that can be useful in our instruction. Just try to learn from it and you will eventually see how technology works for your own good.

Application

          The main concern of a teacher is how to deliver his/her concepts in a sense that his/her students can really learn from it and at the same time they will enjoy. Well, a teacher must have diverse strategies which can assure effective teaching-learning process. The modern era suggests that there’s technology to help us. As a future educator, I must say I have already prior knowledge about computers and basic use of softwares but that’s not enough for me to become a good and effective teacher. To improve my computer literacy skills, I’ll attend seminars and workshops that are related to educational technology to gain additional knowledge since there are much more to discover about technology as what I’ve say. As I will teach, those skills I learned will be used during my discussions of concepts and that would ensure that my students will appreciate the lessons especially in science.
