Educational Technology 2

      Why we need to change, to stay and to create? a new basis in learning that will encourage students or even us to learn. There's a trend called modern and so technology, it appears more easy, handy and effortless process but yet it is being judge because of its disadvantages. Considering the common facts about it affect the learning habit of the students because they are being dependent in computer. Teachers will not able to monitor the learning of the students because of the massive use of computers in teaching. Nevertheless, people in educational industry are comparing the traditional and modern  educational system in which students are being affected due to changing of curriculum. Whether, the curriculum had changed, its the teacher and the learning process of the students will dominate most.

     Education in the Philippines is now on their progress to divert the old curriculum to the universal curriculum that every country is using nowadays. The k-12, has been imposed 1 year ago to have its pilot testing in our educational system. Sadly, most of us are not in favor to that decision due to its span of time and the money that every family will invest for their children's education. http://www.teach-nology.com/currenttrends/ 

( Modern classroom in support of technology )

     In addition to the k-12 propaganda there is the modern technology in support of the computers, LCD's, lasers, internet, web pages and the likes. It is now on process that every school should have a set of computers; it is not necessary to have enough computers in every students instead there will be computers to maintain the computer literacy. Technology in education is not a treat if teachers will use as a unique tool in teaching and  it is a treat if teachers are not aware of its effects and results. Surprisingly, there are schools that gives effort to have a technology-based school in the Philippines and it allows Filipino students to experience of a globalized and modernized school. The MINT college is located at Taguig city and the first centralized technology-based college in the Philippines.http://mintcollege.com/  

     Over the past decades, computers help humans to maximize the work and minimize the effort. There are inventions the continuously evolving every seconds. Teachers will be a teacher same as computers will be a computer; changing different roads to achieve goals is same as you travel in the original road. It is good and essential if  teachers will see and learn the technology world because education is there. To all the haters of technology learning, about the bad effects of using computer in teaching and learning process, remember that there will be no technology if there is no education. For short, it is the pride product of education in which the whole learning and studying of the inventors are beneficial to us. One good example is our global country: America, how they use technology in education? Here's a video of  the report about American technology learning.

      Again, a teacher whose  not afraid about uplifting of trends most especially technology is a teacher who is flexible and adventurous about learning milestones. That is why it is a good test to our teachers on how they will educate themselves about the latest reforms in education. Your teacher is my teacher, she feeds us she learns too.
