The capacity of the learners learning will be enhanced because they are engaged of distinctive ways on solving a certain case, thus, critical and logical thinking is being used. Also, including to a real world sceranio that learners can assimilate the learning, however, it is a scaffolded learning which would help them resolving a given scenario or problem.

Vocabulary

Instructional games

Students are given the opportunity to widen their knowledge about vocabulary activities because it is one of the help to their minds to actively store the vocabularies they learn and somehow it will be used for purposes.

In behaviorism, these instructional games help the students’ competences to play a game and can be their enjoyment and a help for them to play because they are challenge and ready to gain a higher level of score as to compete to others to think that they can get some reinforcements or a rewards from their teachers.

One of the faculties of these instructional games is their capability to use their minds to work actively and to think promptly.

If we determine the general presentation of behaviorism in accordance to instructional games that stimulus- presentation of instructional games, response- the willingness to play the games presented, and reinforcement- the rewards after.

In cognitivism, the capability of students’ logical thinking is being used. They are going to use their critical thinking as to answer or to complete the given questions and clues. Analysis is actively working of how to get the right vocabulary suited for the questions given. But, depending of their learning susceptibility.

The cultivation of the learning process will improve. The motivation will be on set and is present intrinsically because they are learning different vocabularies.

Practice and Drills

Students’ vocabularies are practiced consecutively through this software; thus, it enhances their capabilities of thinking as to work their minds to get the best answers.

In behaviorism, students will be eager to do or to play the practice and drill instructional software because their behaviors developed especially if the students learning style is through kinesthetic that he/she can understands and can think straightway and if hands-on activity is being implemented. Students are eager to get higher score because of reward, thus, according to Chomsky's theory that learning as controlled of a system of rewards and punishments. Students are able to compete to others for reward but that competition will bring knowledge to them as a learning particularly the learning of vocabularies.

Same as to instructional games software’s cognitivism, thus, logical or critical thinking is used to understand and the capability to promptly get the answers. It is through with consecutive practice learning so that students’ motivation will intrinsically be motivated, activated and improved. Furthermore, it can be used anytime for purposes.

These two (2) instructional software’s will work to students’ motivation in learning process, thus, its help them to improve their learning capabilities particularly in vocabularies. They may able to use it according to its purposes. Through vocabulary games and drills students’ knowledge are added and when it used, there would be an enrichment to their communication skills as to practice it consecutively. A person who knows a lot of vocabularies and knows how to use it, he/she will have the competency to be with others and have conversation confidently.

"Hapag ng Pag-asa" by Joey Velasco (painter)

Realization of the movie:

The movie about 'Hapag ng Pag-asa' was a great one. It was about the different backgrounds of different children that was painted by a popular and a great painter Joey Velasco and was given life by showing their different backgrounds through movie.
As a viewer, I really see and even feel their everyday doings. It is not easy to be like them if we don't know everything and if we just keep on pretending. It is a struggle for them to live in a dump site, to live under the bridge and even living in a small house yet they live for survival. They go to the dump site which garbages are present, there they just keep on surviving the bad smell just to have food. Their everyday doings are not good and are not suitable or appropriate to their ages.
At their young ages, they supposed to be in school, learning and experiencing a life as a students. They supposed to have a motivation for learning and to develop the different talents and skills they have. Education is important at their ages because it's a way to make them learn but sad to say they are not given the opportunity to be in school maybe its of financial problem but yet it is not a hindrance if their parents are making way and have that initiative to send them to school. If those children will become older and do not have that education, how can they find a job especially when they needed it most? of course, they cannot because education is important when someone needed a job.
If I were at their situation, I have that feeling of self-pity, why? because I do not have the opportunity to learn in school which education is focused.

Media and Technology

Computer technology has that contribution to media one of them is it can be the source of information all through out the world especially in terms of education because if students have their research they can easily do it and in part of teachers they can also find information through it.It can be also a source of entertainment, business and many more.

Media affects education through the different use of instructions that are being employed. Some of the instructions in media are sometimes false that can cause to some trouble and there are also instructions that are also good that can help in part of the students as of the teachers.

The powerfulness of technology of today in terms of media is stronger because it has the capability to influence people to do or to take it as their convenience. Having that internet through the different use of computers is one of examples of man's habit of today that they more often take time , chatting, browsing, researching and many more. In terms of education, the powerfulness of technology is higher and even stronger because it is one of the big help in students as well as to the teachers to get more information like having educational programs through televisions. In the part of teachers , it is one of their tools to prepare a visual aid let's say using a powerpoint presentation or having that educational program through television, it is easy for them to teach because they don't have that big burden to prepare a visual aid to their students. And in part of the students, when they are watching an educational programs they have the motivation that at the same time they learn and enjoy especially if the students are visual type.

Media: an avenue of dehumanization

Media is the strongest man-made force that can influence people, creating creation and it even shapes the children's minds. Now, that media is increasing through the use of different technology can dehumanize people because they more often use this as their convenience, watching television, chatting and playing in the internet is one of the example of it. In some other particular situation especially children, they are getting more lazy in doing the household chores because they rather go to watch television. Watching Tom and Jerry for example a show that can demoralize the behavior as well as the minds of those children who watched it because they may think that this would be possible to do though it's not.

Every Day
A Thanksgiving Day

Helen Mitchell Evans

I’m thankful for my parents
Who are so good and kind;
I’m thankful for my little friends,
They are the best you’d find.
I’m thankful for my voice
That I can raise in song;
I’m thankful that God helps me
Know the right from wrong.
I’m thankful for so many things
That I just want say;
That every day for me
Is a Thanksgiving Day.
