Lesson No. 4 - Basic Concepts on Integrating Technology in Instruction

1. What are your ideas about students spending off school time playing
computer games in computer cafes/rooms?

2. What do you say to the plan of the Department of Education to
supply one computer unit to each public school (average school
population is 1,000 students) in the country?

3. What do you think is really the wisdom of introducing expensive
technology in schools of Third World (peasant) countries?

4. While Educational Technology 2 is not about teaching computer
skills, do you believe adequate hands-on computer skills are necessary
to put technology integration into practice? Give reason for your
answer.

1. As what I have seen nowadays, playing computer games is becoming a rapid growth for several students instead of attending classes. However, not only students  acquiring computer games but also  young ones. As a result, some students will no longer to study just to spent more time in computer cafes.In this connection, playing computer games may also affect our studies especially when you will become addicted into it.

2. It would be great if this might come true. However, supplying one computer unit to each public school does not enough out of 1,000 average school population. This might inadequate for both teachers and students since they couldn't acquire hands-on computer. But then, it has be a big help to each public school since both teachers & students can also applied and acquired more in learning computers.

3. Probably, people might be affected in terms of financial problem and providing their basic needs. Basically,the products might be also increased and it would be hard for them to sustain their daily needs. Both school of peasant countries will be affected since they could no longer afford of expensive technology.Even in a cheaper one, people might also got problems in how much more on  acquiring expensive one.


4.Probably yes, adequate hands-on computer skills are not just necessary to have but to put it into practice. Whats the use of having a knowledge in computer when there's no integration or having it into practice. Learning by doing is more important rather than having a knowledge without integration.

1. A minor is one of the most important assets of the nation. every effort should be exerted to promote his welfare and enhance his opportunities for a useful and happy life. A minor is not a mere creature of the state, hence, his individual traits and aptitudes should be cultivated to the utmost in so far as they do not conflict with the general welfare.
    Today, one of the most biggest issues confronting the youth is the negative consequences of internet and computer education among the students. The youth as young as seven years old, would spent eight hours a day at a cyber cafes playing on line and off-line games instead of using the internet to do their homework.(Fifteenth Congress, Rep. of the Phils., Phil. first Reg. Session House of Rep. House bill no. 2473 by Rep. Peter M. Unabia of Misamis Oriental.)
     In my opinion, it has been observed that minors, most of them in school uniforms, are seen in the internet cafes during class hours, instead of attending classes in school. In fact, teachers have also complained that school attendance of some students in some classes is very poor.
     Excessive playing of computer games especially during school hours affect their performance in school so its really not good because it provides negative impact on their education.
2. The plan of the Department of Education to supply one computer unit to each public school in the country is good in a way that workers and students from public school will not be ignorant of what a computer looks like and how it works. But if we talk of computer literacy, one computer is not enough for a school with an average population of 1,000 students. What will happen is that the computer will be put only to the school's office and only the staff will have the opportunity to use it and not the students.
3. It is not something you want to suddenly bombard students with, but gradually introduce. The introduction of new technologies will give those students a chance to learn the basics of using that technology, and allow them to apply it in real world situations, as well as helping to overcome the technophobia which exists in many under developed countries.
4. For me, yes, because a student must know the basic computer skills in order for him to integrate technology into practice.
    If a student doesn't know the basic skills in computer like putting on the CPU or putting on the monitor how can he start a certain task he wants to do. Therefore it would be really hard for a student to operate in a computer without a little or basic knowledge of it.

Ans: In most situations nowadays, I can say that it can affect their
studies because some students who became addicted in playing computer
games tend to forget about their lessons. When they are in school they
don't have concentrations on their lessons but rather, they always
think of playing computer games.

Ans: I can say that it is not enough for the students most especially
when their population are very big. The tendency of this plan is that
there are students who cannot use the computer and it is very limited
to fewer students only. Even though they will have a schedule for each
students in using the computer it is still not adequate to acquire
enough knowledge needed for the students. They can't benefit well in
this plan.

Ans: The wisdom of introducing expensive technology in schools of
Third World peasant countries is that students will acquire more
knowledge through the use of this technology. And in introducing the
expensive technology in schools, the students will also gain new
informations about their lessons. It will also make their learning
faster and easier. But let's also consider the parents of these
students, I can also say that in introducing the expensive technology
the financial problem will also arouse. If they can't buy their daily
needs now, how much more if it's the expensive technology? So, through
this students can benefit but there are some areas that will be
affected.

Ans: Yes, I do believe about it. Adequate hands-on computer skills are
necessary because it can put your knowledge into practice. If you
don't practice your knowledge it will be useless. we must know about
the basic computer skills first to know better and it can easily
understand when it goes to hand-on.

1.My ideas about students spending off school time playing computer
games in computer cafes/rooms .Computer games may have a negative
impact upon impressionable young children who are particularly
susceptible to copying behaviors.computer games can distract from
learning as players concentrate on the objective of completing the
game rather than using them as a learning tool. “computer games
require the suspension of disbelief, it may be difficult to retain
learning acquired in that state.” and may struggle to distinguish
between reality and a computer generated environment.
2.the plan of Department of Education is inadequate, student will
surely not going to learn. The teachers are just going to use it as a
office work. and also their are 1000 students, surely they could never
be able have chance to learn from it.
3.for me having or introducing expensive technology in schools of
third (peasant) countries is really not a good idea in terms of
financial support. how are we going to pay, we our country is
suffering from poverty.
4.for me its a yes, learning the basics of computer is really
important, we might never know it may be the way of our living
especially in this modern civilization.
and also to be able to catch up in this modern day.
