The Invasion of Interactive Board...

In terms of interactive, there is now new technology emerges in one of the presentation, representing the interactive board. This interactive board contains software that is purposely design for educational tools, instruction and learning. This not new to my senses since I've seen it before in one of our seminars held last May at Gakken Philippines. They presented (market) it to us. They also show us on how to use the interactive board. According to them if our school would like to purchase even one item, they will conduct a free or package seminar for the teachers as orientation on how to manipulate the interactive board.

The interactive board contains different subject areas where teachers can introduce lesson in such that they can ignite the attention of the learners to learn. Even I myself felt an excitement when they are introducing this technology and it's totally amazing! It’s also contains interactive activities, a lot of activities that the student would really enjoy. Every presentation of the lesson has an audio that would explain to the student and if there is a time when the student got a wrong answer automatically the interactive board inform you that the answer is in correct.

INTERNET  VALUES...

One topic that is being touch in our discussion is all about internet usage. Internet nowadays are one of the most popular resources of the endless amount of information in almost any subject, communication, leisure and even a source of income of few. Internet research is gaining popularity. The use of internet is a source of information but the wide spread of this information would also lead students to the incorrect concept. Internet also invite student to dwell in unnecessary things that sometimes degrade the values that they have. In addition, there are lot of accessing materials in the World Wide Web that will lead made student hard to find the accurate or precise information that would actually they needed. The student may get a biased resource. But somehow this will also bring students to learn strategies on how to evaluate the opportunities of the information in the internet.

 TECHNOLOGY IN A MARIAN SCHOOL..

One good thing in some Marian school like the Holycross of Digos, is they are organized. Everything is carefully in the right place. They see to it the operation, as well as the resources is in the smooth flow of run. Good thing to hear in the presenter that he present their technology lifespan in the materials and their resources available, because they will know what will be the action in the future run of their technology. They can set a plan whether they will purchase new or not. The lifespan of any technology is important in order to know where is the ultimate capacity in the technology materials that being purchase.

PAQIUBATO TECH.

 It is really true in reality that there are some computers nowadays that are not anymore functional for others but still it is usable for some. for them they are treasures that should to be cared of properly. 

It is good thing to hear that even they are far from the city they really embrace the new trends of their external environment away from their location. This will help to students for introducing another ways of learning aside from traditional paper- pencil learning. Although the media that they have in their school is not actually use for instruction but still it will help teachers as a tool to increase their productivity in preparing and making their lesson more colourful and meaningful to the learners. This computers that they have in school is use to create and design materials for better delivery of the lesson. The computers is for teachers consumption only but in the days to come it is already the pupils who will use this resources because in the first place it is them the reason behind why school purchase computers.
