changes because of edtech2

REFLECTION

 

                   Friday(1:00-4:00) is my schedule is my schedule for Educational Technology 2. First day of school when questions in my mind popped out. What really is Educational Technology 2? Why is it different with Educational Technology 1 ?

              Every Friday afternoon, little by little the questions in my mind starts to unfold. Educational Technology is an important subject that needs to be undertaken by all the individuals especially future teachers like me because with the understanding of Educational Technology 2 future teachers like me will be knowledgeable of using those emerging technologies in our generation that will help in the process of transmitting our knowledge to the students. Although Educational Technology is very useful for us it is also like all other subjects that has its weaknesses. One of its weaknesses is when it comes to fight with total block-out; technology nowadays is not useful without electricity because only electricity runs the technologies used by a teacher like Overhead Projectors and Computers. Another weakness of educational technology is when the person who is studying this subject is ignorant of technologies; it is because one cannot easily understand things that he/she is not familiar of.

                   As I come closer to the finish line of this subject I have realized that it is not just merely taking a subject but to undergo changes in life.It is therefore good to be open in learning all the things around us, especially when it comes to the new technologies in the world. We must be vigilant enough to at least know the basic uses and applications of these technologies. It is also important to be.

                     I thank everyone who help me in my EDTECHDAYS . To Mr. Helmar G. Ycong my edtech instructor for sharing the knowledge he has in mind, to all my classmates for helping me do my assignments when I can't and to my beloved family for always understanding me when I come home late.I really appreciate all your effort guys. My special Thank You to Our Lord God for making all this things possible !!!!!

                This exercise is about making a educational show using Windows Movie Maker. I am the editor of this educational show entitled Math Around the Globe.

 

LEARNINGS

          Undertaking this exercise for me is the most difficult. It is because we are just novices in this type of application. I have learned that videos can be chopped into smaller pieces , sounds and pictures can be joined together for a better output and videos can be slowed down. As this exercise was done, I have realized that there are applications that will make our outputs better.

                In this exercise I made a PowerPoint presentation based on the preceding exercise on MS Word. I made the presentation considering important guidelines in making a PowerPoint presentation.

 LEARNINGS

      In this exercise I have learned that there are things that are important to consider. Some of these are:

1. Select Colors that Have High Contrast- it is because through high contrast colors the words written will be clear for the viewers.
2. Have Minimal Words in the Slide- so that the presentation will not be overcrowded and the audience can easily remind of the important points you want them to know.

    Other points to consider are the number of audience and a balanced slide should be observed.

EXERCISE NO. 7 : MS WORD

 DESCRIPTION

                  In this exercise I wrote a Sample Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics IV. The topic is Square pyramid. In this Lesson Plan, I followed the format that is used by almost all teachers in writing a Detailed Lesson Plan.

 LEARNINGS

               In writing a lesson plan in Ms Word it is important to write first in a paper the draft of your lesson plan so that in encoding it in the Ms Word you could finish it in a minimal time. It is also important to follow the format of the original lesson plan so that it will really look like the original lesson plan.

EXERCISE NO. 6 : OHP

 DESCRIPTION

                   In this exercise I made slides that will be used during lectures with the use of overhead projectors.I do techniques like over lays, 3D drawings and disclosure techniques.

 LEARNINGS

           I have learned that there are thing that we must consider in making a slide presentation for OHP. One thing we must consider is that words should be limited and important points are the only thing that will be written in the slide. Another thing to consider is that the transparencies should be clean and free from erasures. Other things to consider is its color to add attraction of audience.
