Lesson 4: Basic Concepts on Integrating Technology in Instruction

Reflection:

In traditional way of teaching, teachers used books, paper, pencil and chalk, and chalkboard as visual materials in introducing the topic to the students. Nowadays, in modern times technology has been used in introducing the topic to the classroom and PowerPoint is the most commonly use visual aid in introducing the topic in which teaching learning process is more effective because it is more clearer to the student that motivates them to listen and gives focus to the lesson because the teacher can add pictures, displays animations and etc. In which it can get the students interest. In integrating technology in instruction, teachers have a big role in planning the integration because not all computer games, application and software relates to the lesson. Therefore, teachers must be careful enough in integrating technology to the lesson. And also, in integrating technology to the lesson, it must occupy from simple to complex way in the instructional process namely; simple level, middle level and higher level of integration.
