PTEACH2 Reflection (second)



On September, 20, 2010, we had third meeting on PTEACH2. In this class, we had discussed about teaching in an age of change. Since we are 21st century learners and also will become a 21st century educator, we should get a lot of information about this subject. We’ve learn how technology is applied in my education and the effectives from using technology. Technology helps in many ways in education. Since we use technology, our education becomes widely. What I mean is through internet, we get variety of information and not only but also we the sources from other countries’. For example, when I was 4th grade, my English teacher gave me an activity that write an email to foreigner and get the reply. Of course I should write it in English. Fortunately, I got reply from her, and it gave me another joy that I haven’t experienced before because it’s not easy to have conversation with foreigner. If I didn’t have internet that time, how was it possible to contact with foreigner? Technology makes it possible. Not only this but also technology makes a lot of things possible for education. After discussion, we did one simple group activity. Through this activity, I was surprised because I evaluated the system that I’ve learned when I was in high school. The objectives were we learn history, drama, poem and then essay. However, I learned differently when I was in high school. I learned poem first before drama. I haven’t doubt the system that my high school teacher taught me but through this activity, I found the mistake she had and I felt good because I already reached the level that I could evaluate. In the other day, we had simple discussion in concept process model and we had another activity. This activity was quite difficult. We evaluated the conceptual framework in English and it was hard to understand. Actually, before I did the activity, I wasn’t familiar with on cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP), on content–based instruction (CBI, problem-based, task-based, and competency-based learning (PTCBL), cognitive academic language learning approach (CALLA) and so on and so far. Actually, since my dream is becoming English teacher, I should have known about those before I had that activity. Because of this, I tried hard to understand and get close with those methods. Thank you for giving me this new information that I really need to know.
