Reflection | Innovative Technologies for Assessment Tasks in Teaching and Learning

The important highlights of the last chapter mainly revolved around Digital citizenship vs Global citizenship, Assessment, netiquette, and being a Netizen.

Technology is increasingly growing its role in our lives. As the world continues to change, its function becomes more vital and critical. After reporting and going through an in-depth understanding of how to be a good netizen and how to integrate innovative technologies into teaching-learning, I seek to become more aware and willing to improve my skills as a netizen. Moreso, how can I contribute as a netizen? 

Flexible always, in all ways

 Reflection | Flexible Learning Environment

Many say that to be a teacher, being flexible is one of the characteristics of being hooked. During the pandemic, we saw how complicated it was to catch up with the new system that was implemented. The quality of education at that time, when there was no physical interaction between the teachers and students, was really hard. The crisis, the Pandemic - a great barrier- weakened the quality of education. Thankfully, with the existence of digital technology, somehow, we slowly adapt and adjust to the new way of acquiring education.

After the reporting that was executed by my classmates, one of the main highlights that were ingrained in me was the utilization of online resources. Other than the concepts of flexible learning, I got to traverse how online resources should be utilized in the teaching-learning process. Moreover, the users of applications that are used for education now, photo editing, google forms that are essential in deploying quizzes and etc.

Learning during the pandemic truly put us in a rabbit hole. Not only us the students were in great labor for education to be attained but also the teachers who gave their best and sacrificed for flexible learning to be implemented properly, catering to every student. 

It's Time to be a Techie!

Reflection | Digital and Non-Digital Skills and Tools for Delivering Technologies - Enhanced Lessons

In our world which is altering drastically, being left is not an option. As a teacher who is in the making, being introduced to these technology tools will assist me a lot in delivering my lessons and help me out in making pedagogies that are integrated with digitalization which we all know is very essential now in education.

Being informed about how these desktop computers should be handled, accessing the Internet, making use of software applications, and other types of digital technology to be utilized in teaching students is really now a must for a teacher. It hits me that change for real is constant, as teachers we can't just stay put and left behind. We the future educators should be front liners in integrating technology now into education - teaching students how to ethically and adequately use technology in their studies and other aspects of their lives.

As one of the reporters, one of my realizations also that it is not only the basic skills of a digital literate I should possess. There is more to explore, especially now that more innovations arise, the technology keeps on evolving and developing. So, as a teacher - a key for change- should be included, as technology forces us to change. To be digitally literate now, to be a techie in our era is a call for.
