Reflection

The importance of studying educational technology is that technology in the educational process is quite evident nowadays. Computer holds greater promise in the instructional process compared to other media such as book materials, chalkboard, radio/television and film that have dominated instructional practices over the ages. At the instructional level, computers are used by pupils to learn Reading, Mathematics, Social Studies, Art, Science, and Music and so on. Through the simultaneous use of audio, text, multi-color, images, graphics, motion, computers give ample and exceptional opportunities to the students to develop capacities for high quality learning and to increase their ability.

          As a future teacher, it is really important for me to be knowledgeable about the different technology for we are now living in a modern world where technologies were of great influence to our different activities. It was really a privilege for me to study Educational technology for my knowledge about the different MS Office like MS Word, MS Powerpoint, MS Publisher and MS Excel which are of great importance in the teaching learning process expanded. Because of Educational Technology, I became updated what is really happening in our modern world right now, what are the new developed technologies, etc. This subject is stressful sometimes but most of the time it’s fun and enjoyable and full of learning. I’m very thankful to Educational Technology for my artistic and creativity skills were developed.

Exercise No. 6: OHP

In this exercise, using a pentel pen, the students are ask to write what is in their lesson plan on a transparency film and project it using the overhead projector.

 Score

In this exercise, I learn how to use the overhead projector which is important since there are schools who can’t afford to buy DLP or LCD. Besides that, teaching materials can be pre-printed on plastic sheets, upon which the educator can directly write using a non-permanent, washable color marking pen. This saves time, since the transparency can be pre-printed and used repetitively, rather than having materials written manually before each class. Lastly, I learn the different  OHP techniques such as overlay, revealing and coloring/shading/highlighting.
