ACTIVITY 2: HOW TECHNOLOGY INFLUENCED MY LIFE AS A LEARNER

      During my elementary days I have no idea what is technology. Yes, I am watching television, borrowing the mobile phone of my parents, reading books, riding on transportation and using non digital technologies. I thought that is not technology at all. When I was in Junior High School I am not totally engage with the definition of tecnology, what is the use of technology and when we use the technology. I am using computer and mobile phones for my assignments and projects but I am not good in manipulating different website. And also I start to create my social media accounts to meet other people but there are some instances that I am not a good user because I am not aware the effect of social media without reading the directions and instructions. During my Senior High School my knowledge about technology become broad. I learned that using technology is not easy especially with the use of internet just like my teacher said "think before you click" and "internet is the most dangerous place on earth" and I am agree with that because nowadays, technology controlling us in our everyday living we want to share our experiences and sometimes including our personal infomation and that is a bad habit because we are eating by the modern society and the modern system. Now, as a college student I am now aware in using technology as a learner. I learn how to choose reliable information from the website, avoid plagiarism, learn how to paraphrase and cite your references if needed. I know that technology has a big impact on us it can make our work much easier but remember know your limitations. At my age I can say that my knowledge is not enough but then I am still in the process of learning. All I can say is " A GOOD USER, IS A GOOD LEARNER".

                           MY REFLECTION

I learned that ICT helps us to create new and mesmerizing ways in using our technology in proper use such as uploading photos and videos, touching the different kinds of websites and how to discover other features. It is composed of internet, mobile phones, wireless connections and other communication medium.

I felt that as we are living in the 21st century we are controlling by technology and that is not unacceptable. Technology is used to make our work much easier. Teachers are using technology to engage lifelong learning in support to the development of her students. We are expected to be more critical thinker especially in using ICT’s in order to manage the information that we are uttered. We are using these to inquire, to communicate, to collaborate and to plan technique and strategies.

I developed that think before you click technology are now continuously getting more powerful maybe it can be helpful to others but sometimes it can also give negative effect to us especially the millennial.  ICT’s is everywhere we must use it more productivity and demonstrate to others that we must practice analyzing, developing, and evaluating to promote and contribute knowledge to our community by accessing technology in a proper and safety way.
