A Very good day to everyone, the lesson made me feel interested but some part the lesson made me overwhelmed because of the complex process of the entire lesson. However, I would take it as a challenge to grow more hehehehe. Furthermore, the articles provided and the video presentation were absolutely formative and interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that, Sir. Thank you for accepting the challenge. Keep it up. God bless.
DeleteIntroductory lesson leads a way of better understanding the Industry 4.o, its challenges and opportunities. I love the way the video was presented! Also, I appreciate your approach of allowing us to read and post comments on the outputs of our classmates and make our own work visible for them. Indeed, change is already on its way and we better be prepared in order to thrive.
ReplyDeleteSame thoughts here! I love the presentation of the video as it gives us the different persons of authority in dealing with FIRe. Various insights were delivered and presented. It is now our choice to accept it in our systems.
DeleteThe lesson is really very interesting knowing the fact that this era was already change into a digital world where a lot of things can be improve using technology. It is also a portal to open up our idea that we need to embrace the new education that we have right now. Thank you so much to our professor for all the resources that you gave it helps a lot in our part. The SMART Class is very good for this kind of situation hoping that I can use this to my class someday hehehe. Keep safe everyone GOD BLESS po :)
ReplyDeleteThe introductory lessons leads us to question what will be the future and how things will work out since we have the 4th Industrial Revolution. It is pretty interesting to watch the video and be able to gather ideas and information about the concepts taught in the video. Have a great day po everyone.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Sir Benjo! A hanging question now is in our hands. It is a challenge for us to find out, how does this Fourth Industrial Revolution works society and workplaces.
DeleteIntroductory lesson serves as pathwalk on my way to the teaching profession as I am caught unaware of the basic learning in the field of education. Thus, the said 4th industrial revolution leads me to enhance my understanding skills on what is the current and latest trend in the teaching learning aspect now. Current issues on technologies and strategies in teaching now broadened my horizon on what kind of education will have for the coming years. Moreso, the 21st century lined with the FIRe encourages me more to go into deeper and intend on the offered knowledge of the 4th industrial revolution. Nonetheless, I find these lessons quite adaptive and very timely with the millennial and z generation that speaks of the latest craze and modern way of teaching through technologies.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir, for you are guiding a neophyte in me in my aspiration to become a good teacher someday.
Sir Jan, nice point! The introductory lesson is very millennial and it is adaptive to the students today. As teachers, we may practice this kind of platform in teaching. It is very interesting and innovative n the part of the learners.
DeleteThe Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIRe) made me realized that technological advancement, along with innovation, is alive. I found it very broad yet very interesting. As it flows around our systems, we should not let the FIRe burn us alive. Let us burst the flame inside of us in embracing the innovative and technological change of all this revolution.
