WHY I WANTED TO BECOME A TEACHER?

-


    Early this year I saw a post in a social media platform regarding the enrollment for the post graduate studies which is Prof Ed also known as Professional Education in Tagoloan Community College. It is a continuing program for those professionals who are willing to teach or to redirect their career into teaching.

    I decided to enroll for me to have a background what is teaching all about and to gain units as well. I wanted to teach because I had lost my chance in applying for Philippine National Police(PNP) or any government agency related to my course due to personal and health reasons.

    Maybe It is not yet too late to redirect new career path. It is not yet too late to replace my dreams I thought I really wanted to become, to excite or to challenge me.

    I really hope that one day, I can surpass all of these and saw myself teaching the younger generations including my children.

    I am holding onto God's promises and the verse that got me was this, "May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed-Psalm 20:4". May the Lord guide me through my Prof-Ed journey and put me into a place where I can see myself as a successful "TEACHER".

During our class the SAMR was discussed. It is the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition Model. The SAMR Model is a four-level taxonomy that describes how technology impacts teaching and learning. The SAMR model can be used to design, implement, and evaluate learning experiences. TPACK was then discussed and I had learned that was a technology integration framework that identifies three types of knowledge instructors need to combine for successful edtech integration—technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (a.k.a. TPACK). While TPACK is often compared with the SAMR Model, yet they are very different in scope. I had also learned the diffirent types of online resources and its uses for teaching and learning. The picture shows the ASSURE model, developed by Heinich, Molenda, and Russel in 1993, I had learned that it is  an instructional design guide that integrates technology and multimedia to enhance the learning environment from a constructiv...

THE ADVENT OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION      I t was about 19th century that technology education had begun. The year 1974 was the first introduction of personal computer(PC). However, it wasn’t until the 1980s that digital technology made its mark on education. This was a  decade when computers went from an experimental technology to a mass-market consumer product. That shift was reflected in schools, many of which invested in a single computer for basic learning applications.       In the advent of the World Wide Web it gave a glimpse into what computers were capable of. Publicly available from 1993, it facilitated the use of search engines and email on a regular basis. In addition, several teachers before were using "xerox" machine or photocopiers to multiply the reading materials and examination booklets to be used by the students. Some teachers were also using overhead projectors to display their lessons, and those were considered a...

LEARNINGS OF ICT

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can impact student learning when teachers are digitally literate and understand how to integrate it into curriculum. Schools use a diverse set of ICT tools to communicate, create, disseminate, store, and manage information. In some contexts, ICT has also become integral to the teaching-learning interaction, through such approaches as replacing chalkboards with interactive digital whiteboards, using students’ own smartphones or other devices for learning during class time, and the “flipped classroom” model where students watch lectures at home on the computer and use classroom time for more interactive exercises. When teachers are digitally literate and trained to use ICT, these approaches can lead to higher order thinking skills, provide creative and individualized options for students to express their understandings, and leave students better prepared to deal with ongoing technological change in society and the workplace. As we go on in ...
