Lesson 14 The Software as an Educational Resource

C

- Hardwares are essentials to computer and are built-ins in the computer. However, as discussed in this lesson, that hardware can be hardly useful without the program or system that tells what the computer machine should do, this is called software. Software might be less appreciated in the traditional classroom but in this new-paced setting we can see how it boost learning. Software as an educational software is a big help not only to the teachers but as well to the students. By using these educational softwares, both students and teachers can explore the world of technology that somehow regarded as a distractor sometimes but sometimes also known to be an aid in learning. I could not forget how our instructor say these words, "the best instructional software is self-made/ personalized."

- We are the ones responsible for our actions, therefore what we do is very familiar to us. In connection, we must create our own instructional software that is appropriate for our students and for the lesson we will be teachings. We must ensure in ourselves that we are a source of students’ knowledge, what we teach is what they will remember. Therefore, we really must consider how our instructional software could affect their learning.
