Lesson 13: Cooperative Learning with the Computer

It is believed that learning is better attained when it is done by two or more individuals working together in order to accomplish certain learning goals. Now, How is it effective when accompanied by computer?
Researchers have made studies on learning instructions between the student and the computer. The studies have great value since it has been a long standing fear taht computer may foster students isolation on learning.
Now, this mythical fear has been contradicted by studies which show that when students work with computers in groups, they cluster and interact with each other for advice and help. In short, computer is natural learning vehicle for cooperative learning.

Lesson 12: Information /technology in Support of Student- Centered Learning

Through the introduction of information technology on the field of education, there has been a great transition from a traditional classroom setting to a more modern and effective classroom setup. Before, it was more on the teacher-centred approach,when the teacher dominates the class and there is less student's participation. Now, it has diverted to a student- centered approach where learners become active participant and more learning opportunities are handed to students. In general, Information technology can awaken the students sleeping minds to become active learner

Lesson 11: The Computer as the Teachers Tool

Computer has been widely used all over the world. It has made life easy to every people of different profession. One field that greatly uses computer is the education field. Without the computer, today's learners may still be consuming the tedious tasks of low-level information gathering, building, and new knowledge packaging. But this is not so, since the modern computer can help teacher and students to focus on more high-level cognitive tasks. Teachers can employ computer as an information tool, constructive tool, situating tool,. Computer has various uses for teachers and its a a challenge for a teacher how to use it effectively.  

Lesson 10: Computer as a Tutor

       Before the quick progress of technology all over the globe, it was impossible for anything to assist or tutor a man, but it is only the man who can teach other man. Now, through the emergence of computer' it has defy such impossibility.
      The computer can be a tutor in effect relieving the teacher of many activities in his personal role as classroom tutor. However, computer cannot totally replace the  teacher since the teacher shall continue to play the major role of information deliveries and learning environment controller. Shortly, computer can assist a man but it needs a man to work.

Lesson 9: Computer as Information and Communication Technology

              The third revolution of technology, computer, has greatly emerged as the primary tool for fast, reliable, accurate and easier communication and accomplishment of tasks. Througn nh this, educators saw the amplification of learning along with computer literacy. Much like reading,  student can interact with computer messages even respond to question or to computer commands. Again, like writing, the learner can  form messages using computer language. In short, computer has provide learners a medium for communication and information.of tasks. 

Lesson 7

Upgraded project method is a revised and more improved project method wherein it focuses more on the process on how the output is being done.instead of the output itself. It is designed to develop learners higher order thinking skill at the same time it also develops the potentials of the students regarding their creative skills. Furthermore, it also made the students reflect from their own on how the project is done or what to put on the project to make it presentable and aesthetically pleasing. This  is very much more effective than the the traditional one and also a student friendly revision.

Lesson #6:IT Enters a New Learning Environment

In the teaching-learning process, teachers are abided with the learning models w/c serves as a guide in order to come up with a best instruction to offer to each learners. The said models are meaningful learning, Generative learning, and Constructivism. The question now is "How will teachers used these models effectively in the integration of technology in the instruction"??. Lets define first each models:

Meaningful learning- gives focus to new experiences that is related to what learners already know.

Discovery learning- students perform tasks to uncover what is to be learned.

Generative learning- learners attend to learning events and draw inferences.

Constructivism- learners builds a personal understanding through appropriate learning activities and good learning environment.

 These 4 models just simply goes down to the interaction of the student to its environment and Technology has something to do with that.
