Student Centered Learning

1. What can you say to the objection that a SCL environment can be noisy and unwieldy?

         Student's tend be very excited when they are allowed to do what they want hence they become uncontrollable and when you try to control them they might end up not doing what you want them to do or worse not listen to what you are saying. But if beforehand you instructed the children to stay low with their energy you might be able to control them in the middle of working on your instructions.

2. How can SCL be fun, memorable and healthy?

           

             These ideals of a classroom atmosphere can only happen if you put your effort into making a motivation on your part and a response from the students. Even when reporting I always consider to make the reports shorter now and activities that are related to my subject so that I can attain the three stated. Also do not forget to integrate CPA in every lesson.

3. Share/ discuss experiences on your email activities.

                  I've never e-mailed a friend but I've tried doing it for work purpose of someone close to me and it were all to send the emails in their other male. So there's nothing much to talk about emails but the part that I'm irritated when I find myself dumped with so many facebook notification messsages on my email that I always need to delete after the end of the day. I currently have two mails, one in gmail and one in yahoo mail.

4. Share/discuss experiences on Internet surfing.

                  I think Internet surfing is bad for me I have the tendency to want something and dream to achieve it if I saw something interesting. I'm not always surfing the net, it sometimes become boring so when I do not have anything to look at I stop what I do. Not so many experiences though but I can say because of surfing the net I've been able to come up with different ideals that I want. I just have to control my obsession and that is a "SECRET"!

Educ. Tech 1 and Educ. Tech 2

          Educational technology 1 talks about the strategies and techniques it also gives introduction about educational technology. It still talks about visual aids and ohp's for teaching while educational technology 2 focuses more on practicing high tech medias.

What I've learned.( Reflections, information about educational technology)

          I've learned that through educational technology I can produce new ways of teaching my students effectively. I like it and it is easy to understand. I have many options to use if I want to effectively teach my students. If possible I would always incorporate direct purposeful experiences up to demonstrations when teaching.

             I've also realized that teachers are going through so many options before teaching in front and that it would  be a shame to use the technique of "bahala na bukas" syndrome. I'm kind of not fit for the type of analyzing and coming up with the correct answer. I also easily give up. I have to remove that along with being easily degrade by colleagues' words. Teachers are tough.

             Educational technology consists of techniques and gadgets that can use. It can either be low tech or high tech. Educational technology's development is too slow here but there's  nothing impossible when a person wants to really change.
