CONTENT
       
        Educational Technology II is concerned with “Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning”. Specifically this is focused on introducing, reinforcing, supplementing and extending the knowledge and skills to learners so that they can become exemplary users of educational technology. This course intends to help our target learners to weave technology in teaching, with software becoming a natural extension of their learning tools.
        In essence, the course aims to infuse technology in the student-teachers training, helping them to adapt to rapid and continuing technological changes. That is, to provide education in the use of technology in instruction, to impart learning experiences in instructional technology supported instructional planning, to acquaint students of IT related learning theories with the computer as a tutor, to learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources, to engage learners on practical technology integration, and to inculcate higher-level thinking and creativity among students while providing them knowledge of IT-related learning theories.


EXPERIENCE
       
Way back to the activities we had in Educational Technology I, it showed us how technology a very useful in enhancing teaching and learning through technology integration. Our instructor gave us various activities for us to learn and develop our hidden talent and skills because it will be very useful in our future carrier.

REFLECTION

        In this topic, it reminds us how to provide education in the use of technology in instruction. This will help us in our student-teachers training to meet and adapt the rapid and continuing technological changes so that we will be able to use technology as a tool in appropriate topic or subject. That is, helping the learners to learn easily and making learning be fun.

APPLICATION


        As a future teacher, I will not let my students to get bored in my class. Since I am a science teacher, I will give them various activities letting them to explore and experience. It may be a form of group activities or individual involving technology integration in instruction in some activities. However, if the activity for the certain topic doesn’t really need technology, then, I could use other materials just to meet their needs. I could use technology as a tool for instruction anyway but not always in evaluation.
