‘’Technology is seen as a means of
mechanizing or automating the process of teaching with devices that transmit,
amplify, distribute, record or reproduce stimuli materials, and thus increase
the teacher’s impact as well as widen the potential evidence ” (Davis,
1987,p.13). Determination plays a very vital role in anybody’s development; in
order to keep your eyes on your goals ones should not see obstacles. It was not
until I began to do the course Technology and Methodology Integration I
developed a love for technology. In encountering this course I have come across
a lot of technology I had little or no knowledge of, being introduced to the course
have allowed me to explore and be cognizant of different technologies, their
importance as well as their uses.
An effective teacher is an all rounder who
tries new invention to make the
classroom active and engaging, fun and educational. Where technology is concern
it performs function as aiding classroom presentations, improving
demonstrations by giving access to reality or stimulations which the teacher
might not be able to provide readily. This can be termed as Audio-Visual Archetype. Having the experience of technology and has
not only given me ideas of how to impact teaching in the classroom, but I was
able to use the knowledge gained in this course to apply to other courses. These
include; PowerPoint, PowerPoint quiz, hyperlinked videos graphics and movies,
amongst these I learnt how to create a webquest, website, blog, lesson plans
using the Assure Model (This is a procedural guide for planning and conducting instruction that incorporates media assumes)
The technological tools I have learnt in
class will be very effective in the teaching and learning process as it has presently
been a very useful tool for me.
