REFLECTION

We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teachers hand, because
it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of
our world.

This semester we had one different subject which is Technology in Teaching and
Learning and it was taught by En. Basri. Initially I thought this subject is going to be easy
since it is related to technology. But I realized that there are a lot of things that I dont know
about the technology and its use in education field.
First of all, I learnt a lot about Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. There are a lot of
things that I dont discover in these soft wares where both of them are equally important in
teaching field. For an example, using Microsoft Excel teachers can analyze the marks of the
students and filter them according to the range.
Perhaps no other technology resource has had as great an impact on education as
word processing. Not only does word processing offer high versatility and flexibility, it also is
"model-free" instructional software; that is, it reflects no particular instructional approach. A
teacher can use it to support any kind of directed instruction or constructivist activity. Since
its value as an aid to teaching and learning is universally acknowledged, word processing
has become the most commonly used software in education. It offers many general relative
advantages (unique benefits over and above other methods) to teachers and students:
In a nutshell, all the knowledge that I gain from this subject will help me to guide
myself and my future students to become a better person one day. I felt very proud because
I can analyse about technologys use in education and gain much information from my own
research. I hope it will be very helpful and useful for me in the future.
