Lesson 1: A Review of Educational Technology 1

Lesson 1: A Review of Educational Technology 1

            The Educational technology 1 contributed alot to the learner to become aware, appreciative and equipped in the use of educational technology tools ranging from traditional to modern educational media. Learners are oriented towards the danger of dehumanization which technology brings into societies. If the learners will not be aware of the danger brought by technology these will continue to affect peoples and cultures and might give gap between the rich and poor countries. The role of educational technology 1 is for us to awaken ourselves that we are now in the era of technology. We must be prepared and equipped with skills for us to fit in the modern world.

 “ Learning is a consequence of experienced”, one of the principles in education that tells us that for us to learn something we must first experienced it. Through experiences we are able to acknowledge the beauty of pain because through pain there is lesson learned. In educational technology 1, my journey is not that easy because at the very first place i am not well equipped with skills in the use of technology. But i took it as a challenge, a challenge that i know at the end i will be proud of myself.  I’ve encountered difficulties especially in manipulation of the software that our instructor gave us. I try and try until it reach to the point that i already know how. Such a blessing having a subject like EdTech 1. My journey in Edtech 1 is just the beginning. I want more experience !

What is really the use of computer? Why we need to adopt to this can kind of environment? Whats the use of our natural resources in the teaching-learning process if we will use computers? Is there really a need for us to know all this thing? Questions that bothers in my mind. But one thing i learned that technology is beneficial when you know the real value of it. Its harmful when even yourself you did’nt know your value. It is just a matter of accepting changes which could help you alot in your career. You are not stagnant, you undergo changes. Its up for you to go with flow or remain at your place. Its your choice. Thing it critically. Always remember this, “ Survival of the fittest and elimination of unfit”.

Theory is far from application, even if you know it pretty well but if you dont know how to apply it, its useless. Like me, what i’ve  learned in making a powerpoint i applied it during my presentation of topic. It is just a matter of applying what is in your mind.
