Educational Technology 2 is more concerned with “Integrating Technology into Teaching and learning.” Knowing how to use technology and integrate it in the learning and teaching process is a skill will make a teacher and those aspiring teachers to be more equipped, efficient, and effective teacher. As we address that todays' learners were more visual learning we can simply ais effective learning through the use of technology in delivering every lesson. Though every student is unique is has its own way on addressing the different needs of every student. Technology offers a wide range of choices to make the teaching-learning process more active and more student-centered making student to be more independent and more productive own their own without relying so much on the teacher.
Necessarily, Educational technology 2 will involve a deeper understanding of the computer as well as hands-on application of computer skills. In essence, the course aims to infuse technology in the student-teachers training, helping them to meet and adapt to rapid and continuing technological changes, particularly in the thriving global information and communication technology (ICT) environment.
More specifically, the course objectives are:
         To provide education in the use of technology in instruction by providing knowledge and skill on technology integration-in-instruction to learners;
         To impart learning experiences in instructional technology supported instruction to learners;
         To acquaint students on Information Technology or IT related learning theories with the computer as a tutor
         To learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources;
         To engage learners on practical technology integration issues including managing IT classrooms, use of the Internet for learning, cooperative learning through the use of Information technology; and
         To include higher-level thinking and creativity among students while providing them knowledge of IT-related learning theories.

            As a future teacher the things I learned about the uses of computer on how to make a lesson more effective and interesting will surely help me become a good teacher in the future. My experiences I using a computer can aid my needs in my future career, a teacher.
            The integration of high technology in the classroom setting had made a big impact on the performance of the students. Student before were so dependent on what the teacher can give offer them they wee isolated in their comfort zones. The big change is that students now were given a variety of options on how to make their learning be more meaningful.    
            We cannot teach the students of what we don’t have. So, it is very important to read a lot and learn a lot. Because how are you going to teach your students if you as a teacher don’t know it yourself? That’s why is very important to know your limitations and be honest with yourself. As a teacher we are looked as the most reliable person in the view of our students. We need to make ourselves better not just in knowledge but in our attitudes a as source of knowledge.
