Week 1 : EdTech Journey Starts Now!

Hi ! Im John Carlo C. De Vega, I am graduate at Technological University of the Phillipines Taguig Campus under the Automotive Engineering Technology Batch 2015 Ive been working for 4 years in industry and decided to take Bachelors of technical teaching education. Because some of my workmates and friends encourage me to study again because they believe that I still have a long way to go. And this was not an easy decision, As you know, my career is very important to me. With this in mind, I feel it is in my best interest to begin my graduate work. By continuing my education"FYI this our last opportunity to take the ladderized degree program so i decided to grab this opportunity". So i was studying at night and working at day and yes it was hard  but look i finished the first term and now we are in the second term and i am taking this subject "Educational Technology".

So in our firstday of class we didn't expect that our teacher will be sir Reginal Cuntada one of  our Seniors in  BTTE my first impression to him was very strict and some kind of terror but it was all a mistake when he introduced himself, he was a jolly person,friendly,kind and make our class in laughter and he said he knew what we were feeling because he also came on the same situation and he said that we have to finish this course and pass the board exam and he also give us advice about our board exam,incampus and outcampus and he offered that he is willing to give us help to review in some subject when we will take the board exam. We are Happy and Comfortable that we are in a Good Teacher. 

So he introduced the subject Educational Technology which is focus on roles and function of educational technology for teaching- learning process He also show us the History of technology to education which help us to understand how our society change and develop. he also show us the syllabus, content ,grading system and what are we need to Learn and what are we need to do, he also state that we have to do a blog, we will having a reporting, and he said that this subject is interesting because it will help us to develop our digital method of teaching using technology and to identify and apply the educational trends. He also state the things that we should not to do during his class such as using cellphone, being late and absent and many more.

And he give us our first activity where he divided us into eight group and give us the topic which is related to the History of Education Technology that needed to explain and elaborate.(the topic that had been given to us is year 1600-1800 Public Education) that we observe that at this era Public education was introduced to get a better job in the future. At 1700 at this era intoduced the Black board and chalk which made in pine wood and uses to write the things that they need to learn and also to write the alphabet.1800 at this era introduced the books.

So this how my EdTech subject Journey starts Im expecting that this subject will benefit us as future educator to have digital method of teaching and i hope this subject will be more exciting,interesting and more fun. 

Thank you For reading! Till next time.☺️
