I’ve learned a lot of things. There are so many topics and a lot of things we have learned about. Most of the things I’ve learned makes me understand how it is important in our life to have an internet, and also important to know as a things I’ve known. First of all, I have learned about the 7 Domains of ICT Competency Standards for Philippine Pre-Service Teacher Education, which are, Understanding ICT in Education, Curriculum and Assessment, Pedagogy, Technology Tools, Organization and Administration, Teacher Professional Learning and lastly The Teacher Disposition. The second one is the definition of different terms namely. Technology, ICT Literacy, Educational Technology, Instructional Technology.

ICT is useful and helpful. It’s an application of modern technology to interact and share information among people all fields and develop science through technology. I learned that, ICT gives easiness to run the teaching learning process and also ICT has helped so much in the improvement of means and speed of communication. It has become such an important part of modern life that living without it would be almost as of we’re going back to our old strenuous ways of communicating with other people who are away from us. It’s also a great help to us when solving real life problems.
