Lesson 3: Understanding Technology Learners

Learners these days are more store of visual presentation made or displayed by their educators more than simply unadulterated tuning in. They are likewise not intrigued much in the discourse if there's nothing to pull in them. Some way or another, having this new innovation made the method for showing too hard in light of the fact that the instructor MUST have or get something quite recently to draw in their understudies dissimilar to before everything was so basic. In any case, then, we must adapt up to what our surroundings are currently into, and that is fundamentally Innovation. It is on us on how we keep it adjust without going up against it harsh path for both educator and learners. How about we make utilization of it on a way it could help and we can learn. Not to damage by any stretch of the imagination.

  The  new generation of the 21st millennium is not the kind of learner that they were, but are information technology or digital learners.

   Lest the concern for new learners is not well understood, it serves to know what scientists say, as follows:

There are positive benefits derived from the use of information technology or digital resources and these counterbalance possible negative effects of technology on children.

Positive Benefits Using IT

Daily exposure to high technology-personal computers, video game gadgets, cell phones, Internet search, sites-stimulates the brain by strengthening and creating neural circuits. 

Exposure To High Technology

A current technological revolution is creating an intellectual revolution, faster and better than ever before.

Reflection

This lesson includes on the best way to comprehend the advanced learners and what are their advantages in captivating this sort of learners in innovation based instructional medias. Researchers said that, there are sure advantages got from the utilization of data innovation or computerized assets and these offset conceivable negative impacts of innovation on kids. Also, every day presentation to high innovation individual computers,video diversion contraptions, cellphones, web pursuit locales animates the mind by reinforcing and making neural circuits. Besides, this current innovative unrest is making a scholarly upheaval, quicker and better then ever some time recently.

Application

Understanding Technology learners in truly a major point of interest for us future instructors. We can have the capacity to realize what suitable material to utilize that suits to their capacities and aptitudes. It additionally help us to keep up the center and enthusiasm of our learners, and in that a case the learning procedure get to be agreeable for them. 

It is additionally invaluable in the piece of the instructors, in light of the fact that it permits them to investigate and to find new instructional material utilizing innovation. It draws in them to a more greetings tech and advanced sort of learning environment, and it makes their life less demanding than before and less bother.

Lesson 2: An Overview Of Educational Technology 2

    

  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.

          Necessarily, Educational Technology 2 will involve a deeper understanding of the computer a well as hands-on application of computer skills. But this is not to say that the goal of the course is to promote computer skills. Rather, the course is primarily directed at enhancing teaching-and-learning through technology integration.

          In essence, the course aims to infuse technology in the student-teachers training, helping them to adapt and meet rapid and continuing technological changes particularly in the thriving global information and communication technology (ICT) environment.

More specifically, the course objectives are:
• To provide education in the use of technology in instruction by providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners
• To impart learning experiences in instructional technology-supported instructional planning
• To acquaint students on information technology or IT- related learning theories with the computer as a tutor
• To learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources
• To engage learners on practical technology integration issues including managing IT classrooms, use of the internet for learning, cooperative learning through the use of information technology,  etc.
• To inculcate higher level thinking and creativity among students while providing them knowledge of IT-related learning theories
While the course is primarily intended for the use of student-teachers, it can also be of great use to professional teachers, school administrators, teacher educators, and in fact anyone who is interested on how information technology can be used to improve not only instruction but the school management and curriculum.
It may be said, too, that the study of this course on integrating Information Technology in instruction should not be considered as a formidable task, but rather as a refreshing and exciting study given the idea that all learning should be fun.

Lesson 1: A Review Of Educational Technology 1

       The Education Technology 1 (ET-1) course 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.

            In ET-1, the learner was also oriented towards averting the dangers of dehumanization which technology brings into societies, such as through ideological propaganda, pornography, financial fraud, and other exploitative use of technology. Sad to say, these dangers continue to affect peoples and cultures while widening the gap between rich and poor countries.

            On the application of educational technology to instruction. Educational technology 1 showed the four phases of application of educational technology in teaching- and- learning, namely: (a) setting of learning objectives (b) designing specific learning experiences (c) evaluating the effectiveness of the learning experiences vis-à-vis the learning objectives, and (d) revision as needed of the whole teaching-learning process, or elements of it, for further improving future instructional activities.

            Adding to the technology sophistication of the learner, educational technology 1 fitting refined the distinction between educational technology and other concepts, such as instructional technology (which is the use of technology and instruction, different from school management), educational media (or equipment and materials, apart from the teacher himself), audio

Visual aids (or learning media to stir the senses for more effective learning).
            In sum, educational technology 1 served:
•         To orient the learner to the pervasiveness of educational technology in society.
•         To lend familiarization on how educational technology can be utilized as media for the avenues teaching-learning process in this school.
•         To uplift the learner to human learning through the use of learning technology.
•         To impart skills in planning, designing, using and evaluating the technology-enriched teaching-learning process.
•         To acquaint learners on the basic aspects of community education, functions of the school media center, and finally.
•         To introduce the learner to what is recognized as the third revolution in education, the computer.
