Lesson 1: A Review Of Educational Technology 1

 

       The Education Technology 1 (ET-1) course has truly paved the way for the learner to become aware, appreciative and equipped to use educational technology 1 tools ranging from traditional to modern educational media.

            Truly, the foundation for a truly satisfying exposure to educational technology has been firmly laid down by the ET- 1 course, starting with the through treatment of the history of educational technology, quality education, and the roles of ET in the 21th millennium.

            In ET-1, the learner was also oriented towards averting the dangers of dehumanization which technology brings into societies, such as through ideological propaganda, pornography, financial fraud, and other exploitative use of technology. Sad to say, these dangers continue to affect peoples and cultures while widening the gap between rich and poor countries.

            On the application of educational technology to instruction. Educational technology 1 showed the four phases of application of educational technology in teaching- and- learning, namely: (a) setting of learning objectives (b) designing specific learning experiences (c) evaluating the effectiveness of the learning experiences vis-à-vis the learning objectives, and (d) revision as needed of the whole teaching-learning process, or elements of it, for further improving future instructional activities.

d seeds are intended not to be kept in the container but to be spread on the ground, be tilled, watered, weeded and grown until the right time comes that it will bear much fruit and continue to advance in number. Such seed are the good foundations that ET 1 has provided. By proper training and practice, I believe that we can keep dehumanizing effect of  technology from even being recognized.
