Reflection #1 : Computer As Tool,Tutor and Tutee

COMPUTER

As Tool:

Nowadays computer can be a very powerful and effective teaching device where a carefully planned computer expression or activity will involve students’ interactions and can bring life to your lessons once it needed. As a tool computer is commonly used to accelerate and maintain complex processes or clerical routine tasks which are required by certain organization or community. Through my simple experience as a computer teacher, computer is widely spread in schools as tool more than as tutor or tutee, student are using it usually for the purpose of word processing, calculations, gaming ,graphic design and more as communication medium.

As Tutor:

Computer can act as a tutor on a way that teachs students through well designed software or simulated ones’ where it can give those students results or feedback upon their interaction with it. For example online exams, YouTube’s, flying simulators etc... . I believe there are many subjects where a computer tutor can fit in and begin very efficient. For example as a teacher it helps me a lot to learn and understand several aspects in the field of “servers and networks”. The advantages of computer tutor is that it can repeat the lesson thousands of times without being bored or tired and it can be paused several times to let you think and understand the point which is being presented and for that I think students who's begin considered as slow learners will benefit more from this style of learning effectively and efficiently.  

As Tutee:

To identify the term "tutee" we can declare it as the interaction of human tutor needed by a program or software in computer to build up certain method or function in which it can be considered as a meaning of tutoring the computer in a language it understands to do certain function or procedure. As specialist in this field I know that the computer cannot recognize anything until it is begin programmed by someone who is expert or at least involve with this area somehow establishing what it is supposed to do or to be. Expert user isn’t necessary all the time some normal users doesn’t know that they are tutoring computer by simple click or action. For example recording our voice to be recognized later by the computer, writing sample formulas to calculate bank interest, adding some unknown term or verb to dictionary, etc… all of those could be consider as a type of tutoring computer or made a computer as “tutee”.
