LESSON 14: THE SOFTWARE AS AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE

Content:

            This topic considers the Software which is found inside the computer as an education material for students’ learning. The software can be system which operates the system of all computers and application which commands a particular task. And application software can also be custom (for large corporation) or commercial (for personal use).

            The most common software is the Microsoft Windows wherein accordingly, which I also believe that this program provides user convenience, new-look smooth texts, information center, and plug and play. All of these features are very helpful in the learning of the students.

And in choosing Instructional software, the teacher must decide the best computer-based instruction (CBI) materials for the school resource collection. And she is to consider the quality as well as the usefulness, practicality and utilization of that software.

Experience:

            I think all of us would agree that the software present in our generation is much more convenient than the type writers and all other obsolete machines before. Most of us are using the Microsoft to write letters, use excel to solve grades, save our file documents inside it and all other stuffs that can be done by the computer’s software, we already do. We, as students find it easy to access information, watch videos as well as encode our paper works. The software I think is used by all.

Reflection:

            Thanks to the advent of these innovations done by technologists. I was able to meditate that we have come so far. Everything is so convenient especially in school. And all of these things like the software is being updated from now and then to make the convenience more convenient. I just hope that what we are experiencing right now with technology, we can use in a most relevant and significant way. Since the title of this topic suggest that it is for an educational resource, then I hope we are to use these software in education.

Application:

            The software can be used in anything not just in education. As teachers, we are to let our students utilize this for the betterment of their learning. As soon to be teacher, I must see to it that I can give my students learning activities that will let them utilize the software in a practical manner. Software as an Educational resource is a necessary tool for a much easier work.
