The most captivating activity(2nd reflective journel)




 The activity including the panel discussion in the class proved to be highly engaging. It requires a lot of cooperation and teamwork from everyone in the group. We had a conversation in our group about how social media affects social, economic and environmental factors. we, the panelists, each have extensive knowledge in our respective industries, and we presented our perspective on the advantages and disadvantages of social media. The fact that social media has a big impact on the economy was one of the key lessons from our conversation. Social media platforms have spawned new businesses, jobs and industries while also assisting companies in expanding their customer base. But the other panelists also mentioned that social media could be detrimental to the economy.




The societal influence of social media was another topic we covered as panelists. Both as a tool for staying on touch with loved ones and as a platforms for social activism, social media can be a potent tool. We did, however, also point out that social media may also point out that social media may also have a detrimental effect on society, such as by promoting hate speech and fostering a sense of social isolation.

The environmental impact of social media was the final topic on which we discussed. The operation of social media sites uses a lot of energy, and they also produce a lot of electronic garbage. But the panelists also pointed out that social media may benefit the environment, for example by increasing awareness of environmental problems and by advocating sustainable practices.

Overall, I thought the panel discussion was quite educational and stimulating. I am appreciative of the chance to gain knowledge through the activity. Additionally, while we engaged in these activity, I immediately thought back to a house-based extemporary speech competition at primary school in which I had to stand in front of the audience and speak.

  Reflection Journal Unit 2: Strategy for Teaching Literacy with ICT   In Unit 2, I explored a wide range of strategies for teaching literacy with ICT, and this unit has significantly deepened my understanding of how technology can be used to enhance student learning. One of the most important lessons I learned was the principle of learning by doing ⚙️ , which became clear in the section on conducting practical work. I realized that setting up a computer lab 💻 goes beyond arranging machines; it involves establishing clear rules, ensuring software readiness, and using structured demonstrations 👨‍🏫 so that students can learn in a safe and organized way. Similarly, the concept of problem-based learning (PBL) 💡 taught me that students learn more effectively when they are actively engaged in solving meaningful problems 🤝 rather than passively receiving information. Both approaches emphasize that literacy with ICT is best taught when learners are given opportunities to ...

Unit 1 Reflection

The first unit of this module, Information and Communication Technology in Education , gave me a deeper understanding of the role of ICT in Bhutanese schools and society. It introduced Bhutan’s Digital Drukyul vision, the ICT Curriculum Framework for classes VII–X, and practical models for technology integration such as SAMR and TPACK. I also explored instructional design approaches like backward design and universal design for learning (UDL). These topics helped me recognize that ICT is not just a collection of digital tools but a transformative force that can shape teaching, learning, and even the cultural identity of Bhutan. One of the most valuable insights I gained from this unit is that ICT must be understood in Bhutan’s own context. The Digital Drukyul initiative reminded me that technology is not only about efficiency and infrastructure but also about sustainable development and cultural preservation. The ICT Curriculum Framework further emphasized the importance of developin...
