Learning Everywhere!

Hi everyone!

Here's my 4th Blog in our subject Educational technology 1.

To start with I'll gonna share my thoughts about the topics that was discussed last Saturday, 7th of October 2017. All of the topics were very interesting and I have learned a lot of important things on this 4th meeting. Well now I'm excited to share you some of my views about the reports of my fellow students.

So let's start.

There were 6 groups who reported and the topics were:

Group 1: Copy right, Fair use and Plagiarism

Group 2: Netiquette and Cyber bullying

Group 3: Digital Divide and Addiction

Group 4: Ubiquitous Learning and Wearable Technology 

Group 5: 3D Environment and Virtual Reality

Group 6: Massive Open Online Content

In just one meeting we were able to finished those topics amazing isn't it?

I have learned so much important things with those topics above. 

On the first topic which was Copy right, Fair use and Plagiarism. We all know that the information that we are getting on the internet, books, and many more source of information should be our basis not to own their idea. For whose ever collected, synthesized or formulated those facts, ideas or information should remain in them not to be owned by anybody. That is why there are rules and regulations about this. There are limits and if happens we breached it? We could be penalized and worst we could be punished depending on the law.

On the second topic which was Netiquette and Cyber bullying. These is famous because we ought to humiliate people who we think are weak. We people usually think that we have more power over them because of our looks or standing in life which they don't have. We already think that we are perfect and they are not. I learned that before you type in those harsh words to them please think over it multiple times. Reflect and ask yourself will it benefit you? will it help you to become rich? will it contribute to your mission in life? will it make your life more worthy? If the answer is NO well better keep your hands off the keyboard! Observe and don't let your emotions make you small. Because you never know the feeling of being bullied. If you will be putting your feet under their shoes I guess the feelings will be mutual as well. So better be punctual to the rules of Netiquette. We all know that written words online now can be captured or reproduced and can be charged against you.

Moving on to the third topic which was Digital Divide and Addiction. Well I am guilty about this. Sigh. It is true I am addicted to my cellphone. Sad. I realized that when I bought my first android phone last year and Mobile Data was already popular. Of course I ought to maximize the load in 3 days because I usually load 50 pesos for 1GB of Mobile Data. It resulted into handling my phone scrolling down through media sites, spreading likes on posts videos in Facebook and in Instagram. Many times I forgot to thank God first every morning cause my mind was already stocked, curious what is going on, the recent updates on my messenger, face book posts. It often kills my time and I do forgot things that needs to be done first. I have learned because this topic really stroked my heart I mean I am guilty and right now I am managing myself not to dedicate my self into my cellphone every time.

The fourth topic which is the group that I belong with it was the Ubiquitous Learning and Wearable Technology. This is actually my third blog. This topic is really interesting because it talks about those technologies and wearable technologies that can be used in the near future in education.

Fifth topic! Second the last topic it talks about the 3D Environment and Virtual Reality. I am somehow impressed by these technology especially the Virtual Reality because one of my dreams before was to become a Medical Doctor and and with these technology you will be able to practical surgery without buying actual dead body to test with. Of course for those who love entertainment like games this would be a great gear!

And last but not the least, the Sixth topic which is Massive Open Online Content. This topic really catches my attention. It was like learning without travelling! what I mean is if you would like to study online all you need to have is a stable internet connection, laptop or desktop and that's it you can go ahead and enroll and enjoy the perks of being home and learning! Someday I will embossed myself to enroll with online courses. There many courses that are free, although some has fees but you can use it as your skill reference when finding job. We never know what will be the jobs that will be in demand in the future and lucky those who can garb these opportunities cause it is hassle free specially those who are in remote areas. 

There you have it my 4th blog. And also our professor give an advice, comments and suggestions on how we present a topic or a report in front of students while we are reporting. This would help us to improve ourselves so that by the next time we will be more equipped and ready to report in front many students and of course to prepare us in our practice teaching next year. And I saw a quote related to what our professor meant to say to us her students "Be open to criticism but don't be affected by it. Criticism is meant to help you a better person. Learn from it.
