In this lesson we shall again look at the computer, but this time from another perspective the computer as the teacher’s handy-tool. It can in fact support the constructivist and social constructivist and social constructivist paradigms of learning. Social constructivism is an effort to show that the construction of knowledge is opened by social, historical and cultural contexts. Based on the two learning theories, the teacher can employ the computer as; an information tool; communication tool; as a co-constructive tool; and a situating tool. Without the computer, today’s learners may still be assuming the tedious tasks of low level information gathering, building, and new knowledge packaging.
Reflection:
The computer as the teacher’s handy tool since the computer can help teacher and the students to focus on more high level cognitive tasks. The teacher can employ the computer as an information tool, a communication tool, a constructive tool, a co-constructive tool and a situating tool towards the students.
Application:
as a future teacher since we are now on the 21st K-12 learners we have to be equipped with the knowledge about computer thus, this subject EdTech is a very great help to us. We have also to apply the knowledge we gain from this subject for our future use to make our class interactive and alive.
