Educational Technology II

Content

                The topic was about the review of the educational Technology 1. They divided it into two main topics which are the discussion and application. The discussion focuses on the following: Systematized Instruction, cone of experience, about the meaning of the KISS, and the PPPF. They mentioned that in the Systematized instruction, the learners are the focus of instruction, they mentioned also about its eight process which are the 1) Defining the problem, 2)Choose appropriate method, 3) Choose appropriate experiences, 4) Select materials, equipment, and facilities, 5) assign personal roles 6) Implement the instruction 7) evaluate the outcome 8) Refine the process. However, they also review about the cone of experiences which involves the direct, purposeful experiences, contrived experiences, dramatized, demonstrations, fieldtrips, exhibits, motion pictures, audio/recording/photos, visual symbols and verbal symbols. While, the KISS stand for keep it short and simple. And the Preparation for yourself, preparation for your students, presentation of your instructional materials and the follow up are the last topic they mentioned about the discussion part. In the application part, they reviewed about the application we did during our online class. They mentioned about the edmodo, rubistar in making an online rubrics, the video and photo editing using the PowerDirector and Photoshop, The 7x7 rule in making PowerPoint presentation, and the toondoo.

Experiences

                During their reporting and discussing about their topic, I was just amazed to the effects they made on their Powerpoint presentation. we just listened to their explanation and elaboration. They really applied on what they had learned during our edtech last year. And after they discussed, when they let us had a game, it’s fascinating and enjoy, but still they acquired the lesson. Making a modified questioning was good during that time.

Reflection

                During their reporting, I realized that we should always know the basic and the important things to be consider so that we can move to the next level in an easy way, meaning, if we understand the lesson very well on edtech1, maybe, with good performance, review and study, we could make a good step on this course and perhaps, we could have a good or else a better grade on this subject.

Due to their good performance, I was challenged in making my best on our report. While they were reporting and after they report, I also think of another strategy that could make the class lively and effectively. I realized that in making your instructional materials, you should always think in advance if that materials would be useful of not. You must consider the interest of your student, and because of that, you must really know how to read your student, not maybe mentally but physically, in the sense that you can somewhat understand them during your first meeting. For me, this can help you think of an effective strategy in making them learn but at the same time, having fun during your class hour. But still, I think that if you don’t really yet understand your students’ behaviour during your first meeting, you must apply what blooms taxonomy always emphasizing, acquiring the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domain in your instruction in catering their multiple intelligence with the use of course of technology if necessary. We must just remember the appropriate application for each for an effective teaching and learning process. We must also cater their interest first using the technology in education and make it an effective learning tool.

Application

                 In your class, you could use a powerpoint presentation following the 7x7 rule that was mentioned. and after you could use some of the cone of experiences in assisting the learning of your student, you could assess them using the application they mentioned in showing the creativity and critical thinking of your student in applying the topic you had with them in a product-based. then if you have enough time on your school days, make them have fieldtrip/s with regards to the topic you are having. just make sure, in everything that you planned to do should be based on your lesson plan that would cater the needs of your student and make them a productive one not just in your duration of classes but of course, to their future life in studies or not.
