6. ED TECH
IN A NUT SHELL
Educational technology as a subject made
me aware of the use of technology tools
in instruction ranging from the traditional
to the modern.
In essence, Ed Tech infused technology in
our training as student-teachers to allow
us to cope with today’s technology.
7. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
One of the first things
that I learned in
Educational
Technology is that
lecture copying is
not the only
learning experience
available.
8. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
The cone of
experience is a
visual model meant
to summarize
dale’s classification
system for varied
types of learning
experience.
9. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
The first level of
experience are
direct experiences
which facilitates
learning by doing.
Beginners usually
need this type of
learning
experience.
10. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
Contrived
experiences,
meanwhile, are
edited copies of
reality such as the
globe in the picture.
Okay, maybe we
can’t use that one
inside the room.
11. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
Dramatized
experiences are
simulated
experiences such as
tableau, role
playing, and using
puppets.
12. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
Earthquake drills may be said to fall under
dramatized experiences. Through these,
students are able to do simulations of actual
experiences which are otherwise hard to bring
inside the classroom.
13. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
Demonstration is the
next level of
experience. It is
usually utilized in
science classes.
14. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
Field trips allow the
students to see first
hand the places and
objects that are
discussed in the
classroom.
15. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
Exhibits such as those we saw at the
National Museum allow us a glimpse of
actual artifacts.
16. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
The television and
motion pictures has
aided educational
technology by
allowing long-
distance education.
17. Dale’s Cone of Experiences
And of course, we
shouldn’t forget
about still pictures,
visual symbols and
verbal symbols.
18. What’s wrong with
using the chalkboard?
Why do we need varied learning
experiences in the first place, when
there is always the good old blackboard
that is readily available in the
classroom?
Nothing, it’s just that…
19. The Learning Pyramid
While still readily
available, the
chalkboard involves
mainly verbal
symbols, of which
according to
research, only 10%
is retained by
students.
20. Utilizing the Senses
And that is why we
have to involve as
many of the five
senses (as possible)
to facilitate more
retention of
concepts learned.
21. LEARNING THROUGH
ED TECH 1 AND 2
I definitely learned a lot in our
Educational Technology subjects.
But Ed Tech is not all about the
technological gadgets and their use as
instructional aids.
In the duration of the course, we also
had to go through both traditional and
modern avenues of learning.
22. Reporting
As students aiming to
become future
teachers, we of
course had to go
through reporting in
our Ed Tech
subjects.
23. Reporting
We were able to use
not only traditional
visual aids in our
reports, but also
modern ways of
presentation such as
the PowerPoint and
the DLP.
24. Of course, one cannot simply do away with
written assignments and reflection papers.
25. Research Papers
In Ed Tech, we also
had to submit
research papers as
requirements.
It was stressed that
we not only use web
sources but
published books as
well.
26. Research Papers
Some of the research
papers were
submitted
individually, while
some were done by
group to facilitate
collaborative
learning.
31. Learning by Feedback
Sometimes we have to
learn by feedback,
such as the instance
when our group
used a music video
in our demo.
32. Learning by Feedback
Our teacher reminded
us that instructional
materials are utilized
for a purpose. The
teacher suggested
that we first prepare
our students for our
materials
beforehand.
33. Learning by Feedback
Or that time when our
slideshow
presentation lacked
an outline or flow of
presentation.
Sometimes, we do
have to learn by our
mistakes.
34. THE STUDENT
AFTER ED TECH
Already, we are
applying what
we have
learned in Ed
Tech to our
activities in
the other
subjects.
35. The use of computer software makes
presentations such as storytelling more
interesting.
36. THE STUDENT
AFTER ED TECH
Learning about the varied learning
experiences at the disposal of the teacher
and being aware of the technological
innovations available for instruction
definitely left its mark on me.
Most of all, I learned that we use instructional
aids to help in attaining our teaching
objectives and not just for the sake of
having them.
