Learning From EdTech2

Information and Communication Technology has been a necessity since the start of new millennium. Computers are needed for technological purposes as a prime tool in manipulation of varieties of data from varied sources. Internet has been widely used to gather facts and vital information that would aid in educational purposes for sure. From my ICT, i gained the basic knowledge in manipulating computers. I learned how to input data with the use of Microsoft office. I used words in making documents. I used power point in making presentations. i usd excel in spreadsheets and computations. I also learned on viwing movies, hearing music and making designs trough my pc. Thses are my basic knowledge in ICT.

When i enrolled this subject, Educational Technology 2, i gained more knowledge thus enhancing my prior learnings. i learned on how to use the computer to explore the world wide web. I know how to use internet for my projects, making teaching aids, and gathering information. I even know how to create blog. I learn how to use the Google Docs. i know how to design with the use of Adobe Photoshop. I can even make test questionnaires and class records in the web. In this subject, I learn a lot through application. I enjoy our online class. It all works.

I can use my knowledge regarding with my practice teaching. I can use computers during my class discussion. I can prepare my materials needed through computers. I can make presentations in presenting my lesson. Aside from that, I can share my knowledge to my students about the correct usage of the internet for their educational purposes. I can organize my lesson, discussion, grades and lesson plan with the use of the knowledge i gained with educational Technology for my practicum and any other phase of my career. Thus, I am grateful with our professor.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING WITH COMPUTER

What is Cooperative Learning?

Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement. Students work through the assignment until all group members successfully understand and complete it.

Cooperative efforts result in participants striving for mutual benefit so that all group members:

• gain from each other's efforts. (Your success benefits me and my success benefits you.)

• recognize that all group members share a common fate. (We all sink or swim together here.)

• know that one's performance is mutually caused by oneself and one's team members. (We can not do it without you.)

• feel proud and jointly celebrate when a group member is recognized for achievement. (We all congratulate you on your accomplishment!).

5 ELEMENTS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE COOPERATIVE LEARNING Common goal The result or achievement toward which effort is directed; aim; end. in the study of the of computer we must see to it that we learn trough motivating ourselves in directing to where me mus achieve something. Not only in the computer learning mut but a\lso in any aspect of activities. Interdependence Dependence on each other or one another; mutual dependence. in cooperative learning, one must be with the others and together they will be learning both. Interaction A mutual or reciprocal action; interacting. In cooperative learning, you must have an interaction with your group. this enables you to understand more.there is a saying that goes, two heads are better than one. Individual accountability Individual accountability requires individual users to be held responsible for their actions after being notified of the rules of behavior in the use of the system and the penalties associated with the violation of those rules Social skills ADVANTAGES OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING 1. encourages active learning, while motivating students 2. increases academic performance 3. promotes literacy and language skills 4. improves teacher effectiveness

We can use computer in cooperative learning. we can surf the net so that the group could get information needed. We can learn better if we use we apply this cooperative learning.

TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM VS. SCL CLASSROOM

Traditional Classroom

The classroom is the most visible symbol of an educational philosophy.

It is a philosophy that starts with the assumption that a predetermined number of students will all learn the same thing at the same time from the same person in the same way in the same place for several hours each day.

Disadvantage:
Do People Learn Better in a Traditional Classroom?

Although it might be hard to believe, especially for those of us who teach for a living, the answer is no. The majority of research in this field indicates that students learn and retain information delivered at a distance or online as well, if not better, as in a traditional classroom. (See the No Significant Difference Phenomenon site for numerous citations.) This is actually a pet peeve of mine -- I believe this question is the wrong one to ask and I find it distressing that we have elevated the traditional classroom to a divine decree. Although I like traditional instruction, as both a learner and instructor, it is far from the only method of teaching and learning. Homeschoolers, and others involved in non-traditional educational endeavors, have already learned that the one-size-fits-all traditional classroom is not always the best solution. Furthermore,?distance?and online learning?offers the opportunity to incorporate your academic endeavors into your personal, vocational, and ministry efforts. Some programs even build-in this relationship by requiring a local mentor and practical application assignments during each course. In such cases, the distance courses are probably better than the classroom ones. I believe that for many subjects, online and distance courses can be designed to be far superior to the equivalent traditional classroom model by integrated learning and practice for established students. Rather than focusing on "distance" or "online," focus on "learning" and take advantage of the many opportunities that rooted learners have to integrate and apply their learning.

Teachers are responsible for juggling knowledge of where students are and where they need to go; having insights into students' special needs and progress; choices of curricular activities and materials; rules that govern children's participation; expectations from parents and communities; and the norms and rules that govern them as teachers. The addition of technology further complicates the equation and presents many new questions. This book provides information based on 10 years of data gathered from the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) project. Started in 1985, ACOT is a research collaboration between universities, public schools, and Apple Computer, Inc. to investigate the results of teachers and children routinely using technology for learning. The book includes case studies and teachers' personal perspectives from experiences in ACOT classrooms.

Direct comparison between SCL and Traditional classroom

This article compares grades earned by incoming MSW students in traditional classroom-based statistics courses and those taught using software-based content and no regular classes. Traditional-learning students earned high grades overall, regardless of prior undergraduate grade point average (GPA). Students in the electronic-learning course with high GPAs performed as well as students in the regular course. However, electronic-learning students with low GPAs earned lower course grades than students with high GPAs who took the same course and students in the traditional course, regardless of their GPA.

We have no online educators for teachers here in the Philippines. Absolutely, teachers will do the best of their effort judt to give instruction here in the Philippines like those program mentioned above. So this EDNA may give hint to if ever our government will formulate this sort of program.

Personally, I would vie for this choice because as what this program stated, students and teachers could be both benefited.

Friends are angels who lift us high whenever we have troubles in remembering how to fly.
