Learning Bank 2-Technology:Boon or Bane?

1.What did I learned from lesson 2?
     In lesson,it talks about the reflection about the technology,is it a boon or bane?Technology is a blessing to man.In technology there are lots of things we can do,which we cannot do then.However,when not use properly,technology becomes a detriment to learning and development.It can destroy relationships.In this,it only depends on how we use technology.If we use it to help our students and teachers then it would be a boon,but if we abuse it and misuse it to contribute to ruin our lives then it would be a curse or bane.

2.How can I apply it to my future as educator?
     For me,to apply technology to let it be a boon,then I will use it for the good and for the benifet to everyone.We can use it to let the teachers and students to be caring,relating,good thinker,reflector,analyzer and good person then it would be a blessing to everyone.Technology contributes much to the improvement of the teaching learning process and the humanization of life.It is indeed a blessing.But when not used properly,it becomes a detriment to instruction and human progress and development.
