Individual Assignment In Information Technology Courses

INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COURSES Pay attention to the infographic below: 1. Choose at least TWO reasons that you find most interesting to criticize. 2. Use the reading sources in the material feature to criticize the reasons for your choice First reason: the reason I chose is “many teachers have to be stubborn and worse still apathetic and refuse to put in the time to learn new technologies or trends that make edtech” Criticism: in my opinion this reason cannot be understood and is used as a justification for educators and teaching staff not to use technology in teaching and learning activities. A teacher is tasked with educating, teaching and guiding his students to be better in the future. A teacher is an educator who is an example for the children he educates, a teacher is a role model for his students in motivating the children to learn. The teacher's role is to convey the knowledge they have to their students. Teachers are the source of their students' learning, therefore if a teacher is apathetic and stubbornly refuses to spend time studying technology which essentially has a positive impact on the world of education then the students they teach will be students who are backward and do not develop compared to other students. others who have been introduced to technology from the ground up. Referenced source section: significant technological advances have been made by more than one person in more than one place. The evolution of some technologies is inevitable. Some of the most important technologies have led humans to explore the modern world. Technological complexity always leads to an abundance of information. As technology develops, it opens up greater opportunities to realize our need to communicate and be able to connect with other people around the world. This is proof that technology has a big positive impact both individually and globally. A teacher or lecturer who rejects technology means that the teacher rejects the development and progress of the era of globalization. Second reason: because of the digital divide, teachers and school leaders (principals) are worried that there will be some children/students who do not have access to technology. Criticism: this is a common concern when incorporating technology into the learning process, especially for several developing countries, especially Indonesia, where in fact many areas are not yet accessible to technology or even electricity. However, this is also not an obstacle for education officials, including teachers, school principals, education officials, education ministers or the president, in making this happen. All Indonesian people have the same rights and opportunities to experience technological developments. There are many educational assistance programs provided both internally by the ministry of education and foreign educational assistance programs. Source section referred to: in the 2030 education agenda which refers to the global commitment of the education movement in collaboration with UNESCO and global partners which aims to turn education commitments into action. In its implementation, UNESCO and other global partners will provide support through coordinated policy advice, development technical assistance and progress monitoring at global, regional and national levels. In this agenda there are ten development targets, four of which cover the educational aspect. One of the points discusses that in implementing the 2030 education agenda it will be ensured that all boys and girls complete free, equal and quality primary and secondary education that leads to active and relevant learning outcomes. The next point discusses that in implementing the 2030 education agenda, it will be ensured that there will be equal access for women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and secondary education, including universities. This means that there is no reason for education officials to eliminate technology learning curricula in teaching and learning activities just because of limited network and application access. With smart management and good use in managing education funds, these limitations will not become an obstacle in implementing technology into teaching and learning activities in schools.
