I. THE STUDENT

Hi! I’m Jahzeel B. Barredo. I am from Barangay San Roque, Dasmariñas City, Cavite. I was born on the 15th day of March 1997 and I am already 18 years old. I am from a family of seven, with my mother and father, two sisters, one brother, and a niece. I am the second daughter.

I studied Kinder at Atis Day Care Center from 2002-2003 and spent my elementary days at Sta. Cristina Elementary School from 2003-2009. I continued my secondary education at Dasmariñas East National High School from 2009-2013 and graduated as Second Honorable Mention.

I am now studying Bachelor of Secondary Education at Cavite State University with English as major. I am now at third year and prayerfully, in three more semesters, I will graduate together with my classmates. Looking forward for it

II. EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGYIN A NUTSHELL

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY DEFINED

•Educational technology is the effective use of technological tools in learning.

As a concept, it concerns an array of tools, such as media, machines and networking hardware, as well as considering underlying theoretical perspectives for their effective application.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY DEFINED

•Educational technology is not restricted to high technology.

Nonetheless, electronic educational technology, also called e-learning, has become an important part of society today.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY DEFINED

•Educational technology includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video.

It may also include technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as local intranet/extranet and web-based learning.

GOALS OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

PEDAGOGICAL CHANGEWhile educational technology can be

considered as a design science, it also addresses fundamental issues of learning, teaching and social organization and therefore makes use of the full range of modern social science and life sciences methodology.

"Technology provides us with powerful tools to try out different designs, so that instead of theories of education, we may begin to develop a science of education. But it cannot be an analytic science like physics or psychology; rather it must be a design science more like aeronautics or artificial intelligence. For example, in aeronautics the goal is to elucidate how different designs contribute to lift, drag maneuverability, etc. Similarly, a design science of education must determine how different designs of learning environments contribute to learning, cooperation, motivation, etc." (Collins, 1992:24).

GOALS OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

TOOL AND CATALYZERTechnology, in education, is therefore both a tool and a catalyzer and it can

become a medium through which change can happen.

“Educational technologists would not therefore consider the computer as just another piece of equipment. If educational technology is concerned with thinking carefully about teaching and learning, then a computer has a contribution to make irrespective of its use as a means of implementation, for the design of computer-based learning environments gives us a new perspective on the nature of teaching and learning and indeed on general educational objectives.” (O'Shea and Self: 1983: 59).

DALE’S CONE OF EXPERIENCE

•Dale’s Cone of Experience is a visual model that is composed of eleven (11) stages arranged in the cone not based on its difficulty but rather based on abstraction and on the number of senses involved.

•The experiences in each stages can be mixed and are interrelated that fosters more meaningful learning.

DALE’S CONE OF EXPERIENCE

•It is in accordance with one of the principles in the selection and use of teaching strategies which states that the more senses that are involved in learning, the more and the better the learning.

I.T. FOR HIGHER THINKING SKILLS AND CREATIVITY

A new challenge has arisen for today’s learners: the development of students who can DO MORE than receive, recite and apply the knowledge they have acquired.

Today students are expected not only to be mentally excellent, but also flexible, analytical and creative.

COMPLEX THINKING SKILLS SUB-SKILLS

Focusing Defining the problem, goal/objective-setting, brainstorming

Information gathering Selection, recording of data of information

Remembering Associating, relating new data with old

Analyzing Identifying idea constructs, patterns

Generating Deducing, inducting, elaborating

Organizing Classifying, relating

Imagining Visualizing, predicting

Designing Planning, formulating

Integration Summarizing, abstracting

Evaluating Setting criteria, testing idea, verifying outcomes, revising

THINKING SKILLS FRAMEWORK

sI.T. FOR HIGHER THINKING SKILLS AND CREATIVITY

With these upgraded project method, students work on their project with:

Depth complexityLonger durationGreater relevance to the real world

III. LEARNING THROUGH EDTECH1 AND EDTECH2

Educational technology does not only pertains to the highly modernized technology that we are utilizing today but also to all the tools that the teachers may use in instructing his students. Yet changes is gradually happening in our society (and is very evident) today that we are already on the track of these changes. In line with this is the integration of a more improved technology in the process of instruction and learning inside the classroom..

However, this idea of using and maximizing the use of technology can also be harmful if not used appropriately. As a teacher, you should keep in mind that one of the principles in the selection and use of instructional materials states that, the instructional materials chosen must suit the instructional objectives, the demands of the chosen teaching strategies as well as the needs of the learners. That is why the materials must be carefully chosen based on its relevance to the instructional objectives and based on the benefits that it could contribute in the teaching-learning process. Yet, integrating technology to education means providing variation to the students.

Through the help of technology, varied materials can be provided but those materials must not sacrifice the content of the lesson. The technology is very helpful if it doesn’t defeat the purpose of teaching and learning nor replace the teacher but rather it extends learning and supplements the other instructional materials. The technology inside the classroom should only be a support and not be the sole teacher inside the classroom. .

IV. ME AFTER STUDYING EDTECH

Resources are abundant. It does not only stop on what we see with our

eyes. The people around us can be a good resource

for learning to take place.

We can learn as well as

be entertained and enjoy.

You are a lot more than you have ever

imagined.

TECHNOLOGY may be widespread yet it

canNOT replace
