Photoshop: Reflection

Photoshop: Reflection

When I heard to my teacher Mrs. Olivar the topic that she will be going to discuss about her subject matter which is “Photoshop” I was shocked at the same time I felt excitement because I didn’t expect that one of the topic in Education Technology is Photoshop. I felt excitement because before I just heard the word Photoshop, I try to use it but I really don’t have an idea how to operate it.

In the 4th week of our class, our teacher introduces to us how to operate Photoshop. I was really surprise and amazed because there’s a revelation to me that Photoshop is like a magic. It can help our pictures to become more beautiful than what we expected. On the following weeks meeting together to discuss about Photoshop I was really amazed to the point that I’m acting like a child saying that “WOW! Pano nangyari yun!?” :D Now I can say that nothing is impossible in Photoshop.  I learn that Photoshop is not just adjusting the color, brightness, crop, etc. It can also change your background and you can bring yourself to one place to another. You can bring yourself anywhere and everywhere. It’s a matter of “one click” in Photoshop. One thing that I will never forget in discussion about Photoshop is removing the people that you wanted to remove in your pictures. I learn that you can remove the unnecessary thing or people whether it is beside you, in front of you or maybe at your back. That is the magic of Photoshop.

I think one thing that I need to do is to memorize the icon which is not familiar to me in Photoshop so that I can easily find it out and I can easily finished the pictures that I want to edit.  Also, it’s just a matter of practice.

Watch out my first Photoshop in my next blog. Thank you for reading! J

History of Education Technology

I was really amazed on how modern technology can influence our daily life. I wondered how technology created on the first place. I know everybody will admit to themselves that modern technology can give comforts in our daily life. Technology can contribute a lot not just in our daily life but also in industry, company, and most importantly in Education. Being an education student at TUP-T, I'm glad to know that one of our subjects in this sem is "Education Technology". When I heard the word Education Technology, the first thing that comes into my mind is we will be going to study about modern technology and how it will apply to education. When my teacher introduces to us the history of education technology, I learned that our ancestor already used the technology since then. From 300 B.C up until today technology can really help especially in education. I believe that inventing technology in every generation is inevitable. On a video that my teacher showed to us about the history of education technology timeline, I saw to our ancestors the diligence to go to school and to learn using the technology what they have. It was impressive because at the very time they are using even the simple materials for them to learn. We are so really lucky in this generation because we have technology which can really help us to our study. Before, we cannot easily find or research about something that we wanted to learn but today, just go to the internet and just simply click to different site that that you wanted to learn.
