TEACHING LEARNING WITH ICT

STRUCTURAT ASSIGNMENT

1.         Why do you think we need ICT in teaching learning process?

2.         In what ways ICT can really help both teacher and student?

3.        Which do you prefer to ask, what computer can do for us, or what we can do with computer? Mention the reason.

Answer

1.            We need ICT in teaching learning process because we are living in a constantly evolving digital world. ICT has an impact on nearly every aspect of our lives - from working to socialising, learning to playing. Education is about adapting to a changing world. How and what we teach has to change as well. Today’s pen and paper has changed and it will continue to change. We must keep pace and stay relevant to keep students engaged. We need to realize the 21^st century learners will use a multitude of technologies to access content demonstrate mastery; publish their work; interact with the world, ect.

2.            ICT presents an entirely new learning environment for students, thus requiring a different skill set to be successful. Critical thinking, research, and evaluation skills are growing in importance as students have increasing volumes of information from a variety of sources to sort through (New Media Consortium, 2007). ICTs are said to help expand access to education, strengthen the relevance of education to the increasingly digital workplace, and raise educational quality.  Computer can teach us to learn something in different way. ICT makes learning concepts more easier. Imagine, Instead reading about DNA molecule and makes the students not really understand about that lesson. The teacher will provides one of visualize, simulate, and animate of DNA molecule. The teacher can share all of the material of learning process that will be accessible 7 days/week or 24 hours/day or 52 weeks/year. The student can find out and get many kind of material for learning process. Students are starting to appreciate the capability to undertake education anywhere, anytime and anyplace. Imagine, an English class that resemble a TV newsroom. Physic and automotive students collaborating to solve problems with a race care. Elementary students collaborating with others in several countries to study the onset of spring, etc.

3.            I prefer ‘what we can do with computer’ because the computer is only  a media or a tool that uses by human being to helps their activity. We can do everything with computer if we know how to operate it. So, if we are able to operate the computer and run the system. The computer will be useless without any user. We need to maximise the function of the computer. The diversification of a modern people between a primitive people is  the way on how they use the computer. When a modern people uses the computer, he or she maximised the function of the computer with smart ways of using the computer. When a primitive people uses the computer, he or she uses it with primitively, and make the computer become useless. That’s very important to know ‘what we can do with computer’ and make us realize the computer is very useful to help us more easier do our activities.
