Lesson
4: Bridging the Generation Gap
Bridging
the Generation Gap is a lesson where it talks about the changes that our educational
system is now experiencing. As to the educational technology advancement,
schools from progressive countries are fortunate enough compared to our country,
the Philippines. Technologies are actually well-known to us but not all are
able to use any of those because of poverty and scarcity of resources.
Although, there are still those well-off people or school who can exploit it and
that they are lucky because there is something which can help them in their
studies. By that, to bridge the gap of the generation from the traditional to
the modern one, information and communication technology (ICT) was introduced.
Through this, we as a developing country will be globally competitive as to the
advancement in terms of technology because educational system is now adapting
this for the common good of the new generation learners.
As
to the experience, I noticed that in our municipality in Don Carlos, Bukidnon
there are schools in the different barangays that have scarcity in resources to
be particular in computers but this does not mean that educators will let that
hinder learners in learning. Also, as to the ICT upon accomplishing the
Educational Technology 1, I can really say that there was an effective result
as to the course that have imparted to us.
As
to the reflection, teachers should also be reminded that there are still plenty
of traditional media that can still be used for effective learning in schools
in rural areas if there are still no computers available such as chalkboard,
model, newspaper, games, tableau, role playing, puppets and etc. which does not
entail heavy materials in making. But if the school where we teach was blessed
of having such thing, we should integrate it in the teaching-learning process
for an effective outcome and for our goals to be met, by that our students will
be globally competitive as to the use of technology.
As
an application, a change in the way classes are traditionally conducted the
quality of instruction, setting of instructional strategies to address specific
instructional issues or problems and usage of technology that provides openings
of opportunities to respond to these instructional issues or problems are the
great challenges that we, future educators will face. But we should take it in
a positive way to bridge the gap from generation to generation.
