Reflection as a Student
Where do you need to use of
technology in education? Probably in everywhere but the language teaching is
one of the most necessary area where the technology should be used. When I
start to learn English as a second language, the only material I can define as
a technological one is a radio that is used for listening activities by my
teacher and projector time to time (when it is available). Although it looks insufficient, my English teacher was using the them effectively to acquire English phonemes. We were listening some
reading text that were in our books as well and trying to match words, filling
the gaps in the text or trying to repeat what we were hearing from the radio.
It was fun and activity. All those activities were being done
according to a certain system, I guess, which is the ASSURE model. My teacher
was doing all the necessary procedures that should be done in the system. He
was good at utilizing the technology even though he had insufficient equipment.
However, I am not sure he was aware of existing such system.

As the technology have improved day by day, now we have much more opportunity to use technology in education if we compare today and past. Using technology in classroom much more effective for students learning activities. Also, using different technological equipments in classroom such as smart board, projector, computer, radio etc break the routines in teaching.
ReplyDeleteIn the future, we will have much more opportunity and new improvements because technology is always progressing. I am planning to benefit from the opportunity of the technology in classroom.
