“MY REFLECTION ABOUT THE BENEFITS FROM USING

TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM”

This course EED TTL 313: Technology for Teaching and

Learning in the Elementary Grade is taking up a modular approach of
learning. We had our first meeting last Thursday, and we are able to
talk about introducing ourselves to class. Now, we are having our first
module entitled Technology in teaching and learning. Upon reading
up the module, I was able to grasp learnings about the importance of
technology in teaching. ‘’Technology makes life easier.’’

This module, Technology in teaching and learning solely

focuses on necessity and benefits of the technology in teaching and
learning. In my opinion, the effective application of technology in
education has changed the way of learning and expanded the range
of educational purposes. The use of technology creates more
opportunities when teaching a language. It creates new possibilities
of exposure to the target language and enriches the methodology
with new resources that reinforce the instruction both inside and
outside the classroom. Technology that is made use of in the
classroom is very beneficial in helping the students understand and
absorb what they are being taught. For instance, since most of the
students today are born in the 21st century in which it is the era of
technology, students who are visual learners, projection screens
connected to computers could be put in classrooms to let the
students see their notes as opposed to simply sitting down and
listening to the instructor teach. Our educational system here in the
Philippines and especially in the amidst of the pandemic has
benefited from recent developments in educational technology. Both
teaching and learning are supported by new educational technology,
through digital learning tools. Additionally to increasing student
involvement and passion for studying, it has expanded course
offerings.

The diverse tools such as; videoconferencing, digital television,

electronic whiteboards, and gaming. Increasingly ICTs not only
include small, portable devices such as tablets, MP3 players, gaming
devices, and Smart- and cell phones and internet. These tools are a
product of the advancement of technology. Teachers observed how
learning was amplified by computer literacy. The modern learner can
now answer to questions or commands from the computer, just like
how they would when reading. The student can create messages
using computer language or a program, just like writing.

Overall, some people’s opinion about technology is that

technology "spoils" youngsters. For instance, individuals can choose
to purchase a calculator rather than sitting down and learning how to
count. Technology continues to be a crucial part of the society we live
in today, despite the fact that some people are making these
arguments. Introducing it into our schools and classrooms,
technology will ensure that the students are equipped with much
better tools and knowledge to make their transition from school to the
work place a very easy one. We need to face the truth, technology is
the ‘in thing’ in the world today and it has become necessary in each
and every aspect of our lives and education has without doubt not
been left behind. It is very useful in providing more knowledge to our
students
