New Subject, New Teacher: GREAT KNOWLEDGE

“We are the cusp of completely “new era” and changes must be made in education to ensure that all students leave school prepared to face the challenges of a redefined world” -	Thornburg(2000) Nowadays, people all over the world are living in the “NET GENERATION”. Different technologies are arising to improve our lives. In a business industry, technologies are helpful to develop different products and more. And in a certain Learning Institution, particularly the SCHOOL, technologies play a vital role as an aid in improving the teaching-learning process and making it a very productive one. Every school year, every semester, I always encounter new teachers and new subjects. And as a student, all those subjects gave me a valuable knowledge. Now that I am in the third year college, this new subject-“EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY II” together with our new professor-“PROF. SYLVIA C. AMBAG”, delivered a great knowledge for all of us. All the stuffs in the COMPUTER GENERATION were clearly explained. We discussed different topics such as the history of the computer that gave us a clear understanding on how computers were made and evolve. We also discussed the Blooms and Krathwohl’s Taxonomy Performance Objectives which were very important for all of us as a future teacher. We learned a lot about the importance and uses of the computer and also the input and output devices. We also had an enjoyable discussion about the digital technologies such as wireless and mobile devices, handheld, smart phones and mini-laptops, e-book, voice-activated devices and portable storage devices. Multifaceted topics were discussed in the productivity software such as word processor, electronic spreadsheets, database management software and presentation software wherein we had lots of hands-on activity. We also had the DEMO-TEACHING per group. The assigned topics for each DEMO-TEACHER were the portfolio assessment software, software designed for education, the internet and the World Wide Web and the internet tools and services. This activity, DEMO-TEACHING, was absolutely noteworthy for us to enhance our skills in teaching. It’s a privilege for me as a future educator to learn all those fruitful knowledge because I believe that it will help me a lot to improve all the strategies that I am going to use when the time comes that I am going to teach. I will also use the different and unique techniques that our professor had shown to us to impart great knowledge to all my students. -ELIZABETH B. ROBLES BSEdEn III-1N
