“It is the students themselves who demonstrates higher thinking skills and
creativity through such activities searching information, organizing and
synthesizing ideas, creating presentations, and the like”

10. We are now experiencing the
peak of technology’s best thing that it can
offer to us. Computer Technology allows us to
become more efficient in every work we do.
Computer Literacy can also help us to learn
easier like creating assignments, research,
presentations and such.
Computer Technology keeps on giving us the
idea to become resourceful, creative and also
to meet the standards of a globally
competitive generation.

11. Computer as the
Teacher’s Tool
The teacher can employ the
computer as an:
• An information tool
• A constructive tool
• As co-constructive tool
• A situating tool

12. The computer can provide vast amount of
information like text, graphics, sounds, and
videos.
Students can gather information for
composition or presentation projects as may
be assigned by the teacher.

16. Technology is already a part of our daily lives now. Communication,
Research, and also in our education.
To students, it is a lot way of easier to do projects and also, research
assignments through the internet. Addition to this, the students will not easily get
bored in class by using advance technology as a media of instruction.
To the teachers, first is that they are not called “traditional” anymore, but a
21st century educators that used technology for easier preparing of daily lessons in
school. You don’t have to spend a lot of time to waste by preparing visuals, but
there’s technology to give the students the best learning paths. And also you can
use technology to bring your students to the World Wide Web.

17. What I Learned in Educational
Technology II
I don’t have any flowery words to construct my introductory
part of what I learned in Educational Technology II. I don’t have
any advanced or special features used in my presentation. But I
will never forget, that I have the knowledge to use it in my
every works, presentation for personal or educational purpose.
Educational Technology, stated obviously, includes the micro-
purpose of this instructional material for the teaching-learning
process.
As a student, I learned so many things about technology, how to
use and apply it to my education.

18. And as a future educator, I learned that Technology will
be a big hand of help for me to meet the standards of a
21st century teacher by using technology. And also, I
learned from Educational Technology II is not just a 3-
unit course in my college. But it is my key to become
more effective and efficient teacher someday.
