Content
The
subject is mainly intended for the student teachers concerning on the integration
of technology into teaching and learning specifically on introducing,
reinforcing, supplementing and extending the knowledge and skills to become
exemplary users of educational technology. At this point, unlike in educational
technology I, educational technology II will involve a deeper understanding of
the computer as well as the hands-on application of computer skills.
The objectives of Educational
Technology II will be:
1.
To
provide education in the use of technology in instruction by providing
knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners.
2.
To
impart learning experiences in instructional technology-supported instructional
planning.
3.
To
acquaint students on information technology or IT related learning theories
with the computer as a tutor.
4.
To
learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources.
5.
To
engage learners on practical technology integration issues including managing
IT classrooms, use of internet in learning, cooperative learning through the
use of information technology.
6.
To
inculcate higher level thinking and creativity among students while providing
them knowledge of IT-related learning theories.
The course will help to meet and
adapt to the rapid and continuing technological changes especially in the
thriving global information and communication technology (ICT) environment.
Experience
It took
a while after the start of the semester that we had a class in Educational
Technology II. As an overview of what we are going to do for the whole duration
of the semester, we were made to have a podcast in substitution for the paper
and pencil submission of assignments and blog writing to involve ourselves in
the World Wide Web.
Reflection
Technology
allows us to engage our students while at the same time working with their
strengths and address their learning needs. When combined with good teaching
practices, a flexible approach, well established routines, engaging lessons
that take into account the strengths and needs of all students, technology
allows all students to participate in rich and meaningful learning experiences
and demonstrate wide-ranging forms of success. The placement of equipment in
the classroom directly reflects and has an impact on the way technology is
adopted into the everyday routine. We can spontaneously integrate technology as
we go. As we become more comfortable with and understand the potential of
the different types of technology we employ in the classroom, we can plan the
use of technology into our lessons, activities and assessments. Begin
slowly at first by aiming to implement one type of technology into already
existing lessons and routines. Because of the breadth and ever-evolving nature
of technology, each teacher and student will approach the use of different
technology individually based on comfort level and a given situation.
Application
Application
The
skills I gained from this lesson were: to create a
class blog, put together a podcast, and share the lesson content online.
