Pre-test: What do you know about?

DIRECTION. Answer the following.

1. Describe briefly the technology
- When applied to human existence, technology refers to the process
through which scientific knowledge is transformed into useful tools for
improving human well-being.

2. How does technology help in Teaching and Learning experience?

- Structure changes brought on by technology can be critical in generating
considerable productivity gains. Teaching and learning are aided by the
use of technology in the classroom, which brings digital learning tools like
computers and hand-held devices into the classroom. This increases the
number of academic programmes, perceptions, and educational resources
available, as well as the amount of time students have to devote to
learning. It also helps students develop 21st century skills, as well as
increases student engagement and motivation. Instruction can be
transformed by a new type of connected teaching introduced by
technology. This methodology connects teachers with their students, as
well as with professional information, resources, and tools, to assist them
enhance their own education and customize learning for each one of them.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in Teaching and
Learning?
- Technology should not only be used in the classroom, but it may also be
used to improve administrative procedures, lowering costs while
increasing productivity. In the case of cloud computing, for example,
schools can save a lot of money. Using a digital curriculum reduces the
amount of money spent on buying new textbooks to replace the old ones.
Learning on one's own has never been easier or more efficient. With the
internet, you have access to a wealth of knowledge in virtually any subject.
Whatever you're looking for, you're sure to find it on the internet. Even if
the information and the source are suspect, it is possible to use them as
educational materials even if they are. Teachers and parents do not have to
supervise their students when they are on the internet.

- Using technology in teaching and learning leads to tech disparity.

Disparity in student access to technology is referred to as "tech disparity."
There are inequalities in access between school districts, with wealthier
districts having more resources, but it can also relate to differences among
students within the same school, with children from wealthier homes
having better access. Moreover, nothing in this world comes for free, and
 equipping a classroom with cutting-edge technology is prohibitively
expensive. The cost of upgrading a classroom can't be avoided, but the
TCO can be maximized by installing gadgets with longer lifespans and
lower maintenance requirements. Higher-end technology may save the
school money in the long run since it is less prone to failure and has a
shorter payback period. Before making a tech purchase, schools must
carefully evaluate the total cost of ownership (TCO).

Direction. Answer the following question comprehensively.
1. Discuss the disparity in educational technology advancement in school of
industrialized Developed Country (such as the U.S., England, Japan, Singapore,
Australia) and a still developing country, namely the Philippines.
- Schools in industrialized first world countries are far ahead of the rest of
the world in terms of educational technology improvement because their
pupils have access to the most up-to-date facilities and equipment,
including the newest software and even gadgets or computers. They have
qualified teachers in every area of teaching skill, as well as well-funded
public schools. The Philippines, for example, is a developing country with
limited access to educational facilities and equipment. Despite this, the
country's teachers continue to develop new applications and seek out new
technology, such as smartphones and laptop computers. Teachers are
especially scarce in schools, due to the fact that some teachers are
appointed to courses beyond their expertise, and certain schools lack
adequate government funding.

2. Given the lack of resources in our rural areas in the Philippines, what media can
still be used for effective learning in schools?
- Despite being a developing country with many rural areas, the Philippines
can still employ many effective learning traditional media in schools
including posters, charts, illustrations, photographs, and drawings as a
substitute despite the lack of resources available to them. A textbook,
chalk, and a blackboard are all options. While the electricity used to print
newspapers, magazines, and books is a drawback, we may still use this as a
resource to aid learners in understanding the content of other classes.
Another option is to have a debate about a certain topic, such as the
distinct parts of a flower if you're a science instructor. The gumamela can
be used as a teaching tool to demonstrate floral anatomy to students.
 Students are more engaged in the learning process when instruction is
done this way.

3. Computer shops are pervasive around schools, but these are mainly used for
playing games. Without judging on the possibly dehumanizing effects of excessive
computer game habits, how can a learner best use computer resources as they
may be available in schools or at home?
- Children of this generation are huge fans of technology. However, it is our
duty as educators to educate students on how to make the most of these
technological tools. We must know how to engage while entertaining our
students with the use of technology. When it comes to knowledge needed
for assignments, homework, or even advance insight into certain
topics/subjects, students can and should use computers. There is a lot of
information for them to learn about using this technology as a library.

4. Many college students are presently required to take Computer courses including
word processing (Microsoft Office), spreadsheet preparation (Excel),
presentation techniques (PowerPoint), etc. How do you think his will help
application of skills needed in Educational Technology 2?
- It is crucial for college students, especially those interested in becoming
teachers, to take computer courses because knowing how to use word
processing, spreadsheets, and presentations will make it easier to apply
the skills learned in Educational Technology 2 when it comes to
integrating technology. To be honest, knowing these things will make our
future work as teachers go faster because we'll be producing a lot of slide
presentations for our demos and using excel to simplify grade
computations. Because Educational Technology 2 focuses more on
mediated technology, students must have the basic abilities required for
integration of technology to do well in this course.

5. From those who have done internet surfing/searching/reading what do the

Websites offer users?
 - Nowadays, there are already a lot of websites on the internet. These
websites offer everything. It may be a source of facts or information, offers
different games, it also has social networking sites just like Facebook,
twitter and Instagram that will help connect people, blogging sites, free
softwares , downloadable tools, etc. Due to the fact that there is already an
existing website on which we are allowed to develop our own site, it
provides online experience. It also provides access to social media sites
where we may keep in touch with our acquaintances and engage in online
conversations with them. There are numerous search engines available
through which we can look for and solve our problems.

6. Do you think there are enough websites for educational purposes? Do you think
there are many users of educational websites?
- Yes, I believe there are a sufficient number of instructional websites, as
well as a large number of people who utilize educational websites. Most of
us are already familiar with the constructivist method of teaching, in
which pupils learn by doing. Since the job of a teacher is solely to help the
students in their learning, teachers are now encouraging their pupils to use
trusted educational websites to perform their internet surfing and learn
more about their teachings.

Direction. Answer the following question comprehensively. (10 pts. each)
1. Identify the negative effects of the technology to the learners and discuss how can
we solve or lessen these negative effects.
- Students are no longer reliant on pen and paper in the modern day.
Computers and other technological devices have taken the place of pen
and paper in today's world. In comparison to using pen and paper, these
high-tech devices provide users with many useful advanced functions, but
they are extremely expensive to maintain. The upkeep costs a lot of money,
and updating the obsolete software also costs a good deal of money. As a
result, we might claim that education has become more expensive due to
advancements in technology. The solution to this is on a political and
economic level. The authorities must do what it takes to raise the
standards of living in our country to lessen the cost of products.
 - Teachers can no longer use modern teaching methods due to technological
advancements. Students learn best when professors communicate with
them on a personal level. Students learn better when they are actively
involved in the process of instruction, as evidenced by scientific research.
There is no need for interaction anymore thanks to modern technology
and smart technologies. There is no discussion among the pupils about
any of the things they are studying. Students suffer as a result of this.

2. Based on your experience, how technology helps in your learning and how it
becomes distracting in your studies?
- With the help of technology, children can easily access material, learn
faster, and have more fun while doing it. It allows pupils to broaden their
horizons and have a better grasp of complex ideas. Using technology,
educators may create a more interesting and collaborative learning
environment for their students. Students learn through doing and by using
critical thinking rather than by memorization. Taking an interactive exam
in class or participating in tech-enabled group discussions could suffice as
an introduction to this concept. In addition to affecting how you solve
problems, adapt, and think, technological distractions have a pronounced
psychological influence. You could, for example, use a web resource to
learn more about something you saw on television. While this removes
your focus away from the program, it also reduces the ability of your brain
to use its stored information.
