This topic talks about how we are going to evaluate or judge technology as a whole or specific. According to the topic that we had, we should have Mass Amateurization. It means that we should be also good enough for the changes that our environment has. We, as a future teacher should be good enough on the things that we must be improve. We should remember always and do not forget that the goal of this is to bridge the gap between the amateur individual to those professional ones. We should not let our student have even a single leaner to be amateur in using this technology. We should adapt to the change that is happening to our environment, this would include on how we are going to evaluate our students in doing their activity. we should remember that the evaluation we are applying to the activity that our student have done should be in line with the assessment/ activity have undergone. This evaluation should not just be good enough to make them feel the instant reward that they expecting but also should cater not just their skills but also their logical and critical thinking skills.
Experiences
On the experiences that I have on my high school years, I
think that my teachers before are not equipped enough with skills that they
should possess since I observed that they usually don’t apply this thing to us.
I just observed this kind of evaluation when I was in college already where
different teacher of mine are using different strategy in doing their
evaluation that just not cater our thinking skills but other skills rather than
this. I noticed that it is not also the fault of teacher before in not using this
kind of evaluation, maybe because our school before lack some of these things
that could be used in evaluation and making the students involve in this. I
experienced using computer when I was in high school in second year level and
fourth year, the problem is we just made some research and the guidelines and
rules are not clear and specific resulting to a nonsense product. I observed
that this kind of evaluation can be noticed in a school where the teacher
really loves teaching and the school is having complete materials and
equipment. I observed that those teachers who does not undergo any training
about the skill of it really striving to cope up with it but there are still
those who do not care.
Reflection
Based on the experiences that I have, I realize that
sometimes, no matter how tried we do, we cannot achieve something because it is
beyond our hands, it beyond our capability, and beyond our reach. Sometimes, we
tend to do anything in achieving these things but forget those important ones.
I realized that sometimes, the things we have done for good result to chaos. As
a future teacher, we should be prepare enough not just to those technology that
may arise but to the effects it could have to you and to your student in the
future. You need to practice in balancing everything, because based on the
observations and experiences; I realized that everything should be in balance
so that the learning of the student is really there. You need to be a good
scriptwriter in making a story that is very comprehensive and very substantial
to them that is having a smooth connection from the topic that you are
discussing up to the evaluation that you are using with the aid of technology.
I realized that we should be aware enough of the impacts of these to our students
in the future.
Application
In line with the reflection and the experiences that we
have undergone, we could apply this in implement in doing evaluation to your
students in the future. You could use technology based evaluation if you think
it is more appropriate. It means that it depends upon the topic that you have.
It can be more applied in doing laboratory activity like virtual game we did in
our cell biology. We could use PowerPoint in having quizzes or doing something
actually using the PowerPoint as a guide, in that, we could say that we are
having an evaluation using technology.
