Reflection on micro soft word

Microsoft word is word processing software. Microsoft Word is used to create and edit professional-looking documents such as applications, forms, templates, business cards, letters, paper, reports, and booklets by using Microsoft Word.

Importance of Microsoft Word in Education:

 When you type on wrong spelling on Microsoft Word it highlights your mistake in the red line in real time. Then you right click and correct it. Similar, students observe spelling mistake in real time. It means they will try to take the decision based on suggestion after click on the word underline red. Now they can observe, judge, think which one spelling is correct?

That is going to self-learning practices and freedom to take the decision. It will improve their brain power, thinking pattern. And if students are able to do that small work, teachers can maximize their topic broadly. That’s why I think Microsoft word can help students to correct mistakes and improve self-analysis ability.

Students and teachers can insert and use diagrams, table, chart, and smart art etc. visual explanation tools. They can use it to teach, define, and explain complex lessons in simple methods. Chart, table, smart art and shapes and various other visual objects can benefit students to understand more about the topic practically.

That’s why I think how Microsoft word application can be used and utilized by teachers and students to faster the process of receiving and giving information. And to achieve these purposes, I believe Microsoft Word is an important application that can improve and maximize practical education practices in schools and colleges. In conclusion, I want to say that the use of technologies in the classroom should be directed to enhance intelligence in students mind and not to make them lazy and less critical.

Reflection on Power Point

A power point is designed to create presentations consisting of a series of separate pages or slides. Unlike in the school using green board and chart, in the college one easiest way to present our work through power point. The first thing we need to understand about PowerPoint is the concept of slides. Slide is like a blank document, which presents ideas in the form of text, images, charts and animations. The first slide is the one which introduces the topic of the presentation; this is followed by a step by step sequence which has a specific start and a conclusion.

PowerPoint encourages and supports teaching learning process by facilitating the material presentation. It helps us to improve the clarity and the arrangement of a presentation. PowerPoint is able to perform a variety of manipulations, such as editing text before printing it out, and we can add new slides for adding new materials. PowerPoint can also help in explaining long concept in a shorter time using videos. It helps us to improve the learning motivation, increasing authentic materials for study, encouraging interaction between the teacher and the students.

Power Point is about making an impact that influences audience. To have that, we need to follow principles of PowerPoint presentations. Too many texts are not good for the audience instead we need to use simple slides and explain in such a way that can convey information with supporting the points to the audiences. Take the slide with five bullets and make five separate slides with either just a graphic that illustrates the point or a graphic and a word or two, but without a bullet point.

Thus based on these benefits, I would say using power point is an effective way to enhance learning process. Overall the class is always a successful using power point, I learned new things and enjoys every bit of information I gain in the class. The process of creating presentations is very easy using PowerPoint. PowerPoint can be used by anybody for effective communications. Graphics, charts, animation and movies can be used in presentations with the click of a button. PowerPoint can be used by students, teachers, professionals etc.

About Virtual Learning Environment

Compared to those years when we were in school, many changes have occurred that promote and support students and teachers to adopt technology in learning. One of the most useful components in the college I found is the Virtual Learning Environment. It aims to simplify the workloads for both teachers and students by grading assignments through online and all information we can able to get from there, which is very an important part of learning. It was officially introduced as a feature of college and all college students have started using since they get into the Paro College of Education.

It is very easy to use and designed to save time. This app is easily accessible and useable to teachers and students in both face-to-face learning environments and fully online environment. This enables to collect assignments and communications in multiple instructional forms like a discussion with module tutors where we can ask our doubts. Here teacher can upload materials and can give feedback to students. Students also can upload materials and do not have to go in person. Moreover, students can get announcement related to college activities. They can download videos which are related to their subject thus can help to produce the best assignment.

VLE is effective and easy to use. We can get so many uploaded files at a time. We can get the information by login into the class by using the username name from anywhere and anytime. It is easy to use on any mobile device. Mobile access to learning materials that are attractive and easy to interact with is critical in today’s learning environments. VLE has unlimited storage. Most of the time, it cost high to send our assignment in hard copy. Previously in our school, we used hard copy where students fail to send on time and teachers are not able to find out who all have sent. With the use of VLE now it’s easy for both teachers and students to assess through online.

Teaching in the 21st century doesn’t mean teaching 21^st children. It simply means helping and monitoring the students to learn and implement 21st-century skill. So teachers must be very welcoming to any new technology to ensure the best learning. VLE is the one which I found very important learning tool where I can get all information login into it. I can get all reading materials in the learning using a virtual learning environment.
