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. Good thing about this organization is they are mainly funded by the government in adopting technology in their organization, which they utilized for education. They funded by the DBM, which is Php 3 million a year budget for the organization, more than 5% is the allocated for funding and budgeting  for technology purchasing. The requisition is based on the bank of DBM with no brand reference when they want to purchase new technology. Good thing about TESDA is they are organize in allocating budget for technology. Aside from they have much budget each year, they strive to please their costumer in terms of their services.

It is true that technology enhance learning, but it does not replace the role of the teachers inside the learning environment. Technology is only a helpful for empowering education.
JOSE L. PORRAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is one of the beneficiary of educational technology that was given by the Philippine government, which includes a number of computer set and one PANABOARD. Hope that this technology will be used mainly for the learners and not for viewing purposes only. 
This donated computers will be more useful for the teachers in making comprehensive reports for their school like,computing grades, Phil -IRI report, LRN, and test result. Considering also not for teachers use only but for integrating this technology in their respective lesson or much better if the learner will have a hands-on experience with this gadget, even a once a week schedule.

The Organization with the Heart in Education

This is different from other presenter since they are not working in a certain school, but they support education in the Philippines. They have a good vision through Philippine education. they are the group of people who render their lives in helping youth in striving for better education. They are the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines, their organization is compose of   inter-congregational and  inter-diocesan in character , of women and men religious, priest, and lay, which focus in solidarity works and campaign. They strive to help indigent Filipino Youth which the education is in the far flung areas of Mindanao.
What technology they usually use? Still the use of computer is very demanding, and the use of internet through email and networking.

Innovation of Technology in Higher Demands of Learners

Public schools are really in big population in terms of their learners. That is why it calls for better education for everyone. As one popular public schools here in Davao City, Magallanes Elementary School. They are now in the adoption of educational technology in their school.
The help of this technology will be more useful for teachers in preparing school papers reports. making daily lesson plans, and making use of internet to download educational videos for interactive learning. One best thing in the school where they utilize the good thing which the Television bring like the KNOWLEDGE CHANNEL, which can be viewed in their library always which is very interactive and  informative  educational for their  learners from Grade 1 to Grade 6. The presenter also shared that considering the large number of learners in one classroom, they are allowed to use microphones in their respective classes. Other teacher use also lapels. 
Teachers as facilitator of learning, they should not be condemn on the book they use for teaching, they should also upgrade their selves in the fast changing society nowadays. Adopt the new and current trends of innovation that will help not only for themselves but also in the instruction.

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.
