My Reflection in Educational Technology 2

“It is not about the technology; it’s about sharing knowledge and information, communicating efficiently, building learning communities and creating a culture of professionalism in schools. These are the key responsibilities of all educational leaders”. – Marion Ginapolis

This quotation from Marion Ginapolis really caught my eyes. I can reflect what I’ve learned in our educational technology 2 from this quotation. From all the experiences I had encountered with this subject I can say that it is really worth it. I may have experienced some difficulties and hardships from those experiences but still I can say that those are great and meaningful experiences. This subject made me to become globally competitive and more updated with the new trends of technology in teaching. As a future teacher, I must appreciate the broad benefits that the computer can bring in the lives of students and teachers.

Students nowadays are expected to be creative with higher - order thinking skills and flexible in different learning situations. In the modern classroom, teachers can't easily get the attention of students when teaching lessons using traditional method, and this made me realized and learned that it is really important that we student teachers must become more creative and flexible in this 21st century especially that we will be teaching young individuals in the near future. Learners today are into technology and fond of exploring, so we teacher needs to incorporate technology during instruction to get the appeal and attention of the students, for them to enjoy the lesson and participate in class.

I learned that by taking this subject it could help me enhance my knowledge about the modern technology that we had nowadays. Learners in other countries were already engaged with different high technologies in contrast, most us here in the Philippines do not know how to manipulate computer. How could the learners be engaged with the new technologies and be updated with the new trends if the teachers will not even allowed them to use computer. As a future teacher, we should not let our students left behind. We must engage them from any activities that could help them to gain knowledge and improve their skills not only with the lessons or subject matter itself but as well as in manipulating new technology that could also provide learning for the students.


I learned that teacher should acquire computer skills to the students so that we teacher someday could be a model in integrating educational technology in teaching-learning process. It is a new challenge for us as a future teacher that teaching is not just simply achieving learning objectives but to encourage the development of the students who can do more than receive, recall, recite and apply the knowledge they have to acquire.
