The Power of TESDA
As, Technical Education Skills and Development Authority, they are one of the government agencies which cater skill development for Filipinos. They are promoting world class competence and skill development with positive work values.

One best thing about public schools is they are supported by the government. They have allotted funds for their operation in the school. But according to them this is not enough for purchasing to have the best facilities for their school. Still they work out for more donations coming from politicians and other caring people that look for better education in the Philippines. Banate Elementary School is a central school in their locale. But still it needs for attention in terms of educational technology. Good thing they have teachers which doing their very best part to educate the Filipino youth. As I read their school VMGO, there is no specific sites where they focus or integrate technology in the learning environment. But still they have available technology resources which can be use by the learners in their quest for learning knowledge and for their holistic development as a whole.

Lifegiverian
Technology to instruction maybe use by teachers on the things that they usually do. But after some observation to the learners we the teachers observes changes in behavior, attitude of the learners on the discussion and improvements on the attention span of the learners the teacher may realize that the incorporate of technology is really necessary and meaningful. The teacher gradually use technology more often when she observes improvements on the teaching- learning process. Sometimes the use of technology can lessen the number of absenteeism, create collaboration, and improves independent learning.
In the school, Harvest House Lifegiver Learning Center, they offer computer subjects as part of the school curriculum. Although they already technologies that will aid teaching like instructional television, overhead projector and other media for instruction like CD-ROM and wi-fi connection in the school campus.
Most problems existing even teachers could not have this technology that can be use for instruction in their respected classroom settings. Preparing this technology can really consume to much time sometimes. Although this instructional media is use to support and improve the teachers role as a facilitator and instructor. But how can be a teacher a facilitator of this technology that even himself has less knowledge of manipulating this technology? That is why the effectiveness of the use of technology in instruction sometimes relying on the effectiveness of the teacher to used and manage the technology.
There are suggested website on the book that we Teachers use it, which will promote more learning on the topic lesson that being learn, but sometimes internet is hard and difficult to find the precise information they needed. The learner encounter incorrect information, but somehow this will allow learners to study and conceptualize the topic that is accurate. However, internet provides more learning to student, for example the learner wanted to learn more about current events like in space, environment, climate change, earth (maps, countries, continents). In this way the world wide web assist student their wants and search for knowledge, investigate their own quest for knowledge. They learn to conceptualize ideas and create a questioning concept that will create learners inquiry for answer and issues that concerns their interest.
There is also a version of book in the libraries or any printed materials in the form of CD-ROM. Our school has CD-ROM that can be use by teachers as references for teaching. This CD-ROM are more interactive because there activities that involves students participation. This is design to draw the attention of the learners on the instruction. this CD-Rom provides information in digital, picture,video, and audio form and sometimes has links to website where we can access on the internet.
Instructional technology has the capacity to transform school. They are not typical old school anymore but following the trend in global demand of society for technology/ies consumption and usage.
The achievement of technology in instruction is the effectiveness on how it is being incorporate in the teaching-learning process. Teachers should skillful enough and innovative to create new ideas in order to build meaningful learning environment.

Quest for Better Technology
Quest for Better Technology
Teachers are the facilitator of innovation in learning and integrating technology in education. To some schools they are the source of Knowledge in learning the advancement of technology. Teachers are responsible in students learning. Now that the advancement of technology is very common, teacher should also open its door for innovation, that this technology would bring to education. Many schools nowadays are not aware of new technology, but as I look, they always strive their best to have educational technology even a little number of units only.
As the Doroluman Elementary School adopts its learning environment to the advancement of technology, responsible teachers used their own Laptops for creating a learning environment that is suitable for learning. This laptop mainly a tool to ease the learning and teaching process in both side for teacher and learners. They have also printer, they use for printing their school paper, but it's role is for office work only. What makes learning more fun for students in Doroluman Elementary School is their Television with DVD player. Their television catches really the attention of the learners. Some part, it is an aid for learning and play a big role in their learning environment.

Buhisan Education
It is good to know from the government that they really allotted enough budget for educational system now in the Philippines. the Department of Education trough the initiative of the Philippines government they are now purchasing educational tools for public elementary schools in Mindanao, particularly in the Division of Davao City.
Buhisan Elementary School is one of the school here in Davao City has given a chance to avail these computer set and 1 interactive board which is commonly known as "PANABOARD". Our government nowadays would really look into the quality education that this technology would bring to the learners, its need and quest of public schools better education and technology innovations.
Aside from their newly purchase given to them they have also some educational tools already in their schools that will enhance student learning.. but sometimes it is sad to hear that these educational materials in the school are for eyes only of the learners, it only for viewing purposes only for them.
The same with the other public schools they have also garden with full of planted vegetables, which they harvested for their feeding program for those learners who happen to have nutrition problem. it is really a good project since the school addresses the nutritional growth of their learners.
