Technologies are seemingly fast-runners. Everyone is aware of the speedy turnover of its advancement.
And we have to run with this phenomenon, educators today should become more aware and active in adopting state-of-the-art educational technology. There is this certainty that audiovisual aids in schools may not anymore applicable in this modern day. There is this certainty that our school's audiovisual aids may not even apply in this modern day computer hardware and software in today's technology advancement for the reason that we are fun of investing and not on adopting the development and advancement of the upgraded technology. As it is said " don't invest in technology hardware or system that may become a white elephant in few years time. "We need to adopt upgraded technology for greater literacy and competency as well.
Reflection:
An educator who sets a new level of learning in acquiring the appropriate use of state-of-the-art in his/her learning process will not happen to be congruent to a teacher who would claim that technology in teaching takes time and in experience. The latter one is no good to the world of teaching-learning process. There shouldn't be an existing teacher like this. Therefore, he/she is blind with the current reality.
Although applying and adopting the advancement of technology is expensive and takes more time (referring to the starter), we know that it would help us develop, enhance, equipped, improved and acquire our computer skill in assessing our learning as we adopt technology in our modern world.
Future learners have the advantage over present -day learners because educational technology will never settle for less. In the coming decades, if the future educators and learners has developed the attitude of being open-minded in adopting the speedy advancement of technology, then, this would help them to profit the easy type of performing activities both instruction and education.
But I am not going to salute those teachers who are computer literate but doesn't know on how to apply well the technology to education. They must go deep over the knowledge about computers. And after swimming deeply that they may able to apply it significantly and meaningfully in student's day-to-day experiences.
