Tools aid distance students


Q1. How will this technology benefit the student?

The Camtasia Relay Software is a technology that captures the lectures and activities of a daily discussion in school, it allows students not to go to their institutions but rather by just downloading the current or previous lessons they have, they could just look and experience the interactivity unto their digital devices.

Q2. Considering our setting in the Philippines. Do you think all of the subjects could be applied with this technology? List atleast 3 subjects that you think should be applied with this technology and another 3 subjects that you think should never be implemented with it.Give reasons to each subject.

I think not all are applied with this technology, its because these 3 subjects needs an interaction between the students towards the teacher:

1.) Math - needs explanation of how the instructor come up with the answer, and also why the instructor come up to the answer.

2.) Science - the same, needs an interaction between the students and the instructor of how and why together with who when and where.

3.) English - the last one is also the same, it needs interaction because the students will have a difficult time modifying and correcting there work or answer if the answer are not in the correct grammar.

And these are also the 3 subjects that can be applied in this technology:
1.) Physical Education (P.E.) - theirs no need for an interaction between the students and the teacher but rather follow and execute, what the instructor does, the students will also do it in the same activity and execution as is.

2.) Philippines History - because theirs no need of such explanation, if their is a fact about the history of the Philippines then the answer to every question must be a fact.

3.) Filipino - If the life of Rizal is being viewed together with his works and ideals then it is all the fact and nothing else.

Q3. What is the possible drawback of this in the instructor and the student's side? Explain.
The drawback is that, the students will have a lot of difficulty finding answers to there questions, if they did not understand the lesson, they might as well ask the instructor but the drawback is that they cannot question the difficult part because its just a lesson downloaded.

Q4. List the name of some schools here in the Philippines that manipulate this technology.

Q5. How will this technology help our country's educational system and educating our countrymen?

It would somehow help the country's educational system and improve the learning insights of the countrymen, even the out of school youth could eventually learn something in this software, the very lesson of this perhaps would be the dependability of the students, we must be independent towards these technologies because we could somehow become indolent if sooner or later we'll be very dependent unto this technology but also we could consider this technology as a tool that aids the distance students all over the Philippines even outside our country.
