My Dreams

MY DREAMS

At first, Teaching was not part of my plan, but as time goes by I learned to love and appreciate it. 

Aside from teaching, I also want to:

Become a Doctor, particularly an Anatomic Pathologist.

An Anatomic Pathologist  assists surgeons during operations by providing immediate diagnoses on biopsies.

Become a Makeup Artist

A Makeup Artist is an artist whose medium is the human body, applying makeup for theatrical, television, film, fashion, magazines and other similar productions including all aspects of the modeling industry.

I want  to put makeup on my twin-Isabelle Daza's beautiful face. 

Become a Traveler

I want to visit Iraq and teach there for a month free.

Become a Chef

I want to have an exclusive restaurant for vegetarians.

Become a Flight Attendant

Actually I want to become a Hot flight attendant, and as of now, I have only achieved being hot.

and the last but not the least

I want to become an FHM or Women's Health Model

This is quite difficult to achieve for 2 Reasons:

1) My family's disapproval.

2) I have never met a Teacher who is also an FHM Model.

Educational Technology Experiences and Reflection.

Educational Technology Teaching Demo


Provide your readers information about your demo (your topic, activities, etc.) so they would have an idea about what you have presented. 

•     My topic was: The Frog’s Life Cycle
•  I included my discussion in the story telling part, wherein I made my own story                 entitled “Mr. Franklin”.  
• In my activity, I have provided a Cycle graph, wherein the students will click the picture that corresponds to the stage.

        1.     What stood out from the teaching experience? (positive and/or negative)

                  

                        The use of technology in teaching is not that bad at all.

 

        2.     What did you like about the activity you implemented?

                         

                         I like the simplicity of my activity, because I believe that in designing an activity, the most important thing to consider is the learning outcome of the child. 

     3.     What would you do differently if you are going to teach the same lesson?

If                        I’m going to teach my topic again, I will not include my power point presentation and teach it in a traditional manner. I will use instructional materials such as story books, stuffed toy- frog, puppets, papers, etc. because I want to know how it feels like to teach without the use of technology.

      4.     What did you learn/discover about yourself -- as a teacher? as an undergraduate student?

                       

                           I realized that, I need to improve my skills, especially in using the computer. And I should learn how to talk with confidence in front of many people.

     Multimedia Flashcards /Autobiography AVP

     Provide your readers with a brief introduction about your Multimedia Flashcards and AVP Autobiography. Then, answer the questions below:

• 
  
• ·         Multimedia Flashcards Topic: Countries in Asia
• ·         I also included flag per country.
• ·         I used my voice in pronouncing the country’s name.
• ·         With background music.

     Autobiography AVP

•               My first picture was my baby picture, then my journey with my family, friends,                        classmates, etc.
•          I used the song “Schoolin’ Life” by my favorite performer Beyonce in my AVP.

       1.     What were the difficulties that you have encountered in making your Multimedia Flashcards and Autobiography AVP? Were you able to overcome the difficulties? How did you handle them?

            

               In making my MM Flashcards, I found it hard to record my voice using a microphone because I can hear and feel that there’s something wrong, then I discovered that there’s nothing wrong with my mic and the real problem was my voice. I have this rare voice and there’s nothing I can do to fix it. I have overcome this difficulty by accepting the fact that I have this unique voice. #HatersgonnaHate

              

               I don’t have any difficulty in making my AVP. I've been using moviemaker since I was in high school so everything was clear and familiar to me.  

       2.     If you were to change anything in your Multimedia Flashcards and Autobiography AVP, what would it be and why?

             

               If I’m going to change something in my MM Flashcards that would be my background music, I believe it is appropriate but I really want to use a different one.

              In my AVP, I think I’m not going to change anything because I like it that way.

       3.     Write your realizations about yourself as a person and as a future teacher while you were doing your Autobiography AVP.

               While doing my AVP, I discovered that the saying “time is gold” is true, all the experiences, journey, people I met, etc. that I have included in my AVP are priceless. And I realized that there’s plenty of time for me to learn new things, to improve myself as a future teacher and to just live my life to the fullest, without regrets, just fun.

         Other Questions:

       1.     What other present personal/technological skills helped you in finishing all the requirements? How did these skills help you?

·                 Editing Pictures, Sounds and Videos.

                  -In making my power point presentation, MM Flashcards and AVP

·                My skills in preparing a power point presentation.

                  -For my Demo and reports.

       2.     Did you put citations of the images and audio sources for the cause of digital ethics?

   

         Ohmygosh. I forgot to include those things, but I promise next time, I will.

       3.     What advice would you give to future students who will be taking up this course? Give at least five (5).

·         Always give your best in doing something.

-          Don’t forget to put effort in everything you do.

·         Be Patient.

-          Yes, it’s hard but it will all be worth it.

·         Never procrastinate.

-          Do it now, sometimes later becomes never.  

      

·         Appreciate everything.

-          Small or big, there’s always a story behind everything, and it won’t hurt to show appreciation, so just do it.

·         Be innovative.

-          Don’t steal the idea, strategies, materials, etc. of others, Make your own.

·         Trust yourself

-          Don’t rely on someone or something. You have your own mind and don’t be afraid to use it.

·         Be positive

-          “Be careful of your thought, for your thoughts become your words”. Always remember that being positive does not mean ignoring the negative but being positive means overcoming the negative.

·         Study Hard, Eat clean, Sleep like a baby and Always Pray.

The Software as an Educational Resource.

The Software as an Educational Resource.

The Software as an Educational Resource

•       Computers are more than just the hardware.

•       The computer can hardly be useful without the program or system that tells what the computer machine should do.

•       This is also called the software.

There are two kinds of Software:

•    The systems software

•  The application software 

Systems Software:

•       System software is designed to operate and control the computer hardware and to provide a platform for running application software.

•  System software can be separated into two different categories, operating systems and utility software

Two kinds of Systems Software:

•      Operating Systems
•   Utility Software

Operating Systems:

Examples: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux

•It allows the parts of a computer to work together by performing tasks.

•It also provides a platform to run high-level system software and application software.

     Graphical User Interface:

•       A user interface allows users to interact with a computer, through icons and menus.

•       The graphical user interface (GUI) has been perhaps the most common user interface technology.

GUI Elements:

•       Structural elements

•       Interaction elements

•       Structural Elements

1. Window

–      Container Window

–      Browser Window

–      Message Window, or Dialog Box

2. Menus

–       Menus allow the user to execute commands by selecting from a list of choices.

Structural Elements:

3. Icons
4. Controls (or Widgets)
5. Tabs

Interaction Elements:

• Cursor – An indicator used to show the position on a computer monitor or other display device that will respond to input from a text input or pointing device.  
    
  •                         
• Pointer
• Insertion point/ text cursor 
• Interaction Elements

2. Selection:

–      A selection is a list of items on which user operations will take place. The user typically adds items to the list manually, although the computer may create a selection automatically.

3. Adjustment handle:

–      A handle is an indicator of a starting point for a drag and drop operation.

–      Usually the pointer shape changes when placed on the handle, showing an icon that represents the supported drag operation.

4. Command-line Interface:

               -It is still a commonly used alternative

Utility Software:

•       Helps to analyze, configure, optimize and maintain the computer, such as:

–      Virus Protection

–      

Backup

 software

–      Disk cleaners

–      System profilers

–      Screensavers  - were desired to prevent “screen burn”.

APPLICATION SOFTWARE

  Application Software:

•       Is a set of one or more programs designed to carry out operations for a specific application.

•       Application software cannot run on itself but is dependent on system software to execute.

Examples: MS Word, MS Excel, console game, library management system, billing system, etc.

Types of application software: 

                  An application suite consists of multiple applications bundled together.

 • They usually have related functions, features and user interfaces, and may be able to interact with each other.  Business applications often come in suites, e.g. Microsoft Office, LibreOffice and iWork. 

 Types of application software: 

2. Information worker software
3. Content access software
4. Entertainment software
5. Enterprise infrastructure software
6. Simulation software
7. Media development software
8. Product engineering software
9. Educational software

1. The primary purpose of which is teaching or self-learning. 

Types of Educational Softwares: 

        Courseware:

–       Courseware is a term that combines the words 'course' with 'software'.

–       Kits for teachers or trainers or as tutorials for students, usually packaged for use with a computer. 

      Classroom aids:

–   Interactive Whiteboards 

Assessment software:

–       Computer-based assessment

–       Paperless

Reference Software:
