REFLECTION:

        Computer can be a tutor in effect relieving to teach of many activities in his/her personal role as a class tutor. But computer cannot replace the teacher in a classroom.

Organizer: 

REFLECTION: 

          The quality of instruction is improved to a higher level such a way that could not have been achieved without Educational Technology. The concepts being stated in this lesson could help us future educators for its application in the field. We can say there is no integrative process if we, teachers let our students play computer games instead of spending the time for activities that connects to the lesson with the infused of technology. Teachers and students must use technology appropriately that students must not be abusive that they will be glued only with computer games rather than extending their knowledge and skills.

REFLECTION: 

Better ways to learn other than rote learning or memorization.  Learning is for use not only in school but in real life. Learning is to help the individual live to his personal world. We can say that our learning is meaningful if our prior knowledge is relevant to new learning. And learners must discover more not only in the classroom but everywhere and anytime. They must learn in their own  and expose in applying technology.
