1. In my opinion, yes, technology in teaching takes a little time at first, but once you get familiar with the ways you can use technology, it makes your life so much easier. Yeah it is expensive but sometimes technology contains more information than the average textbook or encyclopedia. As a student, when I dont understand a certain subject or had interest in a certain subject that I couldn't find in a book I turned to the internet, for example my report is about speech mechanism,and i did not find any picture of human speech mechanism in a book so I research it on the internet, and there I saw it.

2. It is good, as long as something is being taught and learned. The times that I learned the most and remembered what I learned are the times were I had fun learning. But if it is purely for fun only and their is no learning at all it is useless and a waste of time for the students who want to learn more.

3.In my understanding, ET - supported instruction is difficult to assess if the one conducting the assessment has no knowledge at all about educational technology because he cannot make any guidelines about it , because he doesn't know about it. But if a person has knowledge about ET then maybe it would be easy for him to assess ET supported instructions.

4. Future learners may have an advantage over present day learners in terms of Educational technology like surfing the internet, making research, making reports unsing computer, and etc.,  because as we observe nowadays technology is changing fast, its always upgrading. Technological companies always introducing newer technologies. But in every advantage there's always a disadvantage. Because of new and high technologies will be introduce in the future, learners might not be interested anymore on the traditional way of teaching which is also an effective way of learning.

Ans: For me, I can say that it wont really takes so much time. In
fact, technology in teaching makes it faster and easier as time goes
by. And when talking about technology is expensive, yes it is but
through technology you can learn more knowledge and discover new
ideas. Most especially when we, the students, are searching for a
certain topic and we all know that books are really needed but let's
also consider that some informations are not always in the book. So,
we really need some technology that can help us.

> 2.  What can you say about teachers who use media simply to make
> classes entertaining and fun?

Ans: In my own opinion, when teachers use media just to simply make
classes entertaining and fun is a good idea so that students will not
feel bored during classes. Because students will really feel bored and
sleepy if you don't have any entertainment that will entertain them.
But it is not also good to make it as an everyday technique in
teaching because when teachers will do it everyday, there is also a
tendency that students will not like it anymore because they are bored
again. So, maybe teachers can use media to entertain the students but
they should not make it as an everyday technique. And they should make
sure that students can also learn from what the teachers have shown.

> 3.  Comment on the position that ET-supported instruction is difficult
> to assess?

Ans: Well, it could be possibly difficult to assess ET-supported
instruction when the person involved doesn't have any ideas about it.
How can he give instruction if he doesn't know anything about ET. He
could possibly find a hard time in it. But if a person have the
knowledge and ideas about ET then it could be easy for him to assess.

> 4.  What could future learners have as an advantage over present-day
> learners?

Ans: For me, the future learners are very advantageous over the
present-day learners in terms of Educational Technology because they
can acquire higher Educational technology in the future. If the
present-day learners have ET so how much more the future learners,
right? So, they will obtain more knowledge in the future. We should
always remember that the only permanent in this world is CHANGE, so
everything will really change as time goes by. And in terms of our
technology nowadays, it is rapidly changing so there is really a big
possibility that it will have a big change in the future so the future
learners are very advantageous.

Nowadays, technology teaching has a big impact in terms of gathering information, data processing, workshop, offices, schools and many others. Probably, it is true that technology in teaching takes time and expensive since there are more more time to consider in preparing and needed much money to spend. Although, it has a big help in our society through advanced learning such as promoting jobs,social aspects, education, & many others. Basically, those things are possible to embrace without the help of technology. It takes time & money to consider in providing those technology. In a sense that not all people can provide especially in the mountain areas. They are not aware of those technologies since they don't have any experiences in computer hands-on and some other technology.

2. In my own notion, teachers who use media in teaching is more enjoyable & applicable for both teachers & student's learning.Thus it gives more instructions wherein students can allow themselves to experience and discover new facts & learning. In some cases, students become more fun and aware of learning with media instructions.

3. For me, it depends on how the educators view it & how it is being used as an assessment. Probably, it could be difficult to assess when you yourselves do not know how to facilitate instruction. Educational technology is partly required as an assessment tools in teaching as well as in media instruction. This serve as improvised learning in preparation of teaching & advanced learning.

4. For me, future learners can be also generate or seen through the present learners. In a way that the future learners may also depend on what or how it is being used or manipulated over the present learners. In some cases, if the present learners is more advantageous there's a possible that the future learners will also the same or they are more aware and better than that. In fact, these both learners could not be easily detect which one is more better. It is a matter of how they often value the importance of technology or having available in it. It is also a matter of time changing since there is no permanent in this world.

Ans:1.The previous poster,teaching poetry with computers can be a great motivation
for students.I have done it every Year.Using Technology gets 100% participation every
time.

Ans:2.well,that's great that they want to have some fun in the classroom but normally
using the media in a classroom would have to have something educators in it.

Ans:3.This open-ended is one of the most difficult and stressful ones job.
and to assess the culture of the Organization,or to preview the work involved,
you fulfill the basic writing for the position,Including the requirements.

Ans:4.There would be easier ways to learn as in more technology,more books,
Newer Books.

1.In my opinion,yes, technology takes a little time It doesn't take as
long as you think it might take. There will always be new technology
for people to learn with. Technology (in my opinion) should make
teaching easier and maybe a bit more exciting for everyone to learn
about stuff they never learned before. Its also easier to change some
of the information that lets say a textbook or a encyclopedia has to
offer. Technology is what makes us understand things a little easier
for people to learn stuff. Yeah it is expensive but sometimes
technology contains more information than the average textbook or
encyclopedia. Some people might think this is babbling but when i
didn't understand a certain subject or had interest in a certain
subject that i couldn't find in a book i turned to the internet (for
example i didn't know why we needed to get our tonsils out or what
they were used for until i searched it up or how exactly does the
body's immune system work). All in all if you're deciding on the pros
and cons about technology technology has a lot more pros than cons
when using it for a educational purpose. Hell its even helped me on
studying for some test. I'm a high school student and i think
education should have more of a technology based teaching for the fact
that almost all jobs would require some technological background don't
wanna go any further for the fact that i can go on and on about this
subject.

2.For me media is a powerful tool not only to disseminate
information,knowledge & entertain but also influence
opinion.Entertainment & fun is a part of learning to enable a child to
imbibe information & knowledge better in an informal environment when
a child's ability to assimilate concepts are better than a formal
environment.
Every teacher has his/her own methodology to instruct.It therefore is
an innovative method that a teacher employs to give better result &
performance than in a rigid environment.

3.My comment about the ET in the comprehensive school is a state
school that does not select its intake on the basis of academic
achievement or aptitude. This is in contrast to the selective school
system, where admission is restricted on the basis of a selection
criteria. The term is commonly used in relation to the United Kingdom,
where comprehensive schools were introduced in 1958. It corresponds
broadly to the German Gesticulate and to the high school in the United
States and Canada. About 90% of British pupils attend comprehensive
schools.

Most comprehensives are secondary schools for children between the
ages of 11 to at least 19, but in a few areas there are comprehensive
middle schools, and in some places the secondary level is divided into
two, for students aged 11 to 14 and those aged 14 to 19, roughly
corresponding to the US middle school (or junior high school) and high
school, respectively.

4.As a future teacher we all know students very noisy classrooms are a
daily occurrence, and with the help of microphones, students are able
to hear their teachers more clearly. Children learn better when they
hear the teacher clearly. The benefit for teachers is that they no
longer lose their voices at the end of the day.An interactive
whiteboard that provides touch control of computer applications. These
enhance the experience in the classroom by showing anything that can
be on a computer screen. This not only aids in visual learning, but it
is interactive so the students can draw, write, or manipulate images
on the interactive whiteboard.
