Much like field studies in teacher education, EdTech 2
offer students the experiential process of adapting to technology integration
within a student-centered paradigm. The practicum phase consists of hands-on
computer tutorials which the student teacher will need to make him/her capable.
The essential requirements for the ET 2 practicum phase will be; a computer
laboratory with adequate sets of computers for hands-on tutorial learning,
participation of computer lab tutor to assist the learner in the use of the
computer and its various program, and must assigned number of hours in
conformity with the course requirement.
The practicum phase consists in basic Microsoft Word where
the tutorial familiarizes each basics of Ms Word. Microsoft PowerPoint, where
the tutorial is a familiarization on the basics of Ms PowerPoint. Internet as a
tool of inquiry, where the tutorial will facilitate the finding of sources of
information appropriate to a learning task.
In sum, EdTech 2 promises to bring the student teacher to
the challenge of a new age – integrating technology in the teaching-learning
process. EdTech 2 is the preparation to bring teachers move ahead with their
use of technology in the classroom.
Experience
I have this experience – hands-on computer tutorials when I
am in 4th year high school every weekend at Salawagan, Quezon, Bukidnon. Our
school doesn’t have enough number of computers that could accommodate us, so
our activity in computer hands-on done often time only. I enrolled hands-on
tutorial and I learned the basic uses of computer that includes basic Ms Word,
Ms PowerPoint, Ms Excel, Painting, and using Internet as a tool of inquiry.
Reflection
It is very important to learn the uses of technology
specifically the computer, so we could appreciate it in instruction. I believe
that graduates of this generation already exposed this things, so there is no
need for them to have the basic computer tutor, instead, they must practice
there learnings to enhance and be more efficient in implementing instruction.
Application
It is really hard if the students in high school stage are
not computer oriented. Involving students to activities that is related to
computer is quite hard if not all of them knows how computer must be use. As a
future educator, I will separate first the students that has knowledge on it and
doesn’t have enough knowledge on it then I will mix them in a group so that
they can have a peer teaching and come up with best result.
