CONTRIVED EXPERIENCE

          When we say contrived experience this are second hand experiences. This are the edited copies of reality and are used as substitutes for real things when it is not possible to bring or do real things inside the classroom.

          A contrived experience involves model, mock-up, specimen, games, simulation, and object. There are several types of contrived experiences that also facilitate the learning of the students. These types of materials enables students to better understand the lesson especially those students who were visual spatial in which they better understand something or the lesson if they can see something about the topic like illustration and other instructional materials. The students will eager to listen because they can relate if a teacher brought something that is related to the topic. A game also entertains the students so that they will be motivated to listen attentively.

USING AND EVALUATING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

          A teacher should not just simply teach what he or she wanted to teach to the students. A teacher should prepare herself or himself by knowing his or her lesson objective. Next he or she should prepare his or her students by setting the class expectations and learning goals. Then he or should present the materials. And lastly follow up the students by achieving the objectives. If the teacher knows this step surely the students will gain more knowledge because the teacher already prepares the needed materials that are appropriate to the lesson objective. That is why as a teacher you should always be prepared and be organized.

TEACHING WITH DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCE

          Dramatized experience in teaching involves role playing. In which the students will act in front about a certain topic. Puppets are also involved in this so called dramatized experience. In which a person will manipulate the puppet to act about something. There are seven types of puppets that a teacher or a student can be used we have the marionette or the string puppet, shadow puppet, stick puppet, hand puppet, mouth puppet, rod puppet and the glove and finger puppet.

          Acting or dramatizing can be a big helped so that the students will understood clearly and of course they will also be entertained. The students will not be bored if a teacher will let them act in front but just be sure that it is fit to your lesson objective.

DIRECT PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES AND BEYOND

          Direct purposeful experiences and beyond is a meaningful experience with a concrete. This involves the direct and indirect experiences. When we say direct it is the first hand experience or the actual experience. This is also developed the five senses and elevate the level of thinking. But this has also disadvantages the students will be misguided and sometimes misinterpret something. While the indirect experiences is a type of experience that means the experience of others that we read and hear.

          An experience is good but as a teacher we should also guide our students in order for them to understand clearly and misinterpretation will be avoided. A teacher should not just let the students do a certain tasks without guiding them.

Systematic Approach

In my own perception about the topic systematic approach it is an approach having a definite process in order to arrive at a certain thing. This approach focuses on the students. In this approach we must first consider the objectives, the learning activities, the materials, the appropriate learning, and lastly the evaluation. As we can see there are step by step processes in this approach. This process also very helpful because it can help the students and the teacher learned with each other in a systematic way.

INTRODUCTION

TECHNOLOGY, BOON OR BANE ?

          Technology really helps people lives and jobs easy. Our generation nowadays is very lucky because we were able to use modern technology. We were able to do our researches and assignments in just one click in our computer. We also able send our messages through the use of our cellphone especially in times of emergency. But the question is, do technology boon or bane?

          The answer is that anything in this world is helpful it depends only to the people if how he or she will utilize it properly. If you choose to abuse using technology then it is already your fault not by the technology.

          There are also times that you abuse using technology in the sense that you use it without time limit. You yourself also have to limit yourself in using modern technology because the negative effect is your health will be affected. Using the technology properly is the best challenge to all the people who were using it.

          It’s up to you on how you manage your time in using technology. I am just hoping that people will more knowledgeable enough in utilizing the technology. And I am hoping that people will be more aware on the effects of radiation in using technology without time limit. Not just there much concern on the positive side of the technology but we must really very aware on its negative effects so we were able to balance our time in using it.

INTRODUCTION

Educational technology is defined by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology as "the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. Educational technology refers to the use of both physical hardware and educational theoretic. It encompasses several domains, including learning theory, computer-based training, online learning, and, where mobile technologies are used, m-learning.

Educational technology, sometimes shortened to EduTech or EdTech, is a wide field. Therefore, one can find many definitions, some of which are conflicting. Educational technology as an academic field can be considered either as a design science or as a collection of different research interests addressing fundamental issues of learning, teaching and social organization. Educational technology is the use of technology to improve education. It is a systematic, iterative process for designing instruction or training used to improve performance. Educational technology is sometimes also known as instructional technology or learning technology.

Educational technology research always had an ambitious agenda. Sometimes it only aims at increased efficiency or effectiveness of current practice, but frequently it aims at pedagogical change. While it can be considered as a design science it also addresses fundamental issues of learning, teaching and social organization and therefore makes use of the full range of modern social science and life sciences methodology.

REFLECTION

My reflection in this subject is that educational technology is a modern way of teaching the students. It is used by the educators in order to facilitate learning in more modern way. According to my research modern technology is helpful in a way that students will be more knowledgeable enough in using technology because nowadays majority of the people are relying to technology.

In practice, as technology has advanced, the particular "narrowly defined" terminological aspect that was initially emphasized by name has blended into the general field of educational technology. Because of that so called technology students will be able to do their projects and can research easily in just one click.

But despite of those advantages there will always be disadvantages. There are students who will rely on the computer but they did not do research instead they use technology for playing. In fact young people nowadays can manipulate computer even if they very young. There is a learning there but sometimes they abuse the use of technology.

I hope that young ones will teach how to use technology properly. Because if we will only  see the relevance of technology we will be able to think that it is really helpful. We should be thankful that in our generation we were able to use technology in order to do our job faster.
