Lesson 2: An Overview: Educational Technology 2

Content

             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. It is mainly directed to student teachers, also professional teachers who may wish to update their knowledge of educational technology. The goal is that, this course can help the 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 as well as hands-on application of computer skill. The course is primarily directed at enhancing teaching-and-learning through technology integration. These are some of the objectives of this course: to provide education in the use of technology in instruction by providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners, 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, and to impart learning experiences in instructional technology-supported instructional planning.

Experience

            Educational Technology 1 gave us a lot of experiences which will really help us to be equipped in our future profession. Experiences of Educational Technology 2 would be all about Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning, so we are expecting to explore, create, learn, and enjoy more about the applications of technology in relation to teaching and learning process.

Reflection

            The knowledge about Educational Technology 1 combined with our future learning of Educational Technology 2 will greatly help us, future teachers. Since educational process nowadays depend more on technology, enough skills of technology and appropriate use of the application to the teaching and learning process is a must for future teachers.

 Application

            I really looked forward on the things that I will be leaning in Educational Technology 2. The appropriate use of instructional materials, activities suited for the discussed topic, the use of some applications of technology such as edmodo, photoshop and a lot more will really help my future teachings.
