A proper training for the teachers on the role of IT in education today and the trend of the education in today’s generations and training on how to use the different IT tools.
Apply the computer environment both for teachers and students. Giving probably an assignment, quiz or activity thru online or a discussion of lectures thru chatting. Assignment that will be access and submitted thru internet.
Use IT as visual aid in teaching especially for those subject that needs of visual animation for the student can understand it well. Subjects like sciences, according to the study that student can learn faster in using an animation visual aid rather than the traditional one.
Integration of IT not only in the classroom teaching but especially in the curriculum.

Effects of Technology on Classrooms and Students
1. In your experience, what section/s of this write-up is/are not applicable to our students and/or educational setup?
Answer:
All of the write-ups are applicable to our student but NOT to all educational setup in the Philippines especially in the urban places and some schools have difficulties in acquiring this kind of tools because of the budget constraint especially with the economy that with have today. Like in Jolo example, most of the high schools do not have a computer subject in the curriculum and some of the teachers are not expose to this kind of technology, as a tool for classroom teaching.
2. Change in student’s and teacher’s roles was seen as a positive effect brought about by technology. But how do you reach the kind of level (of change) described here (teacher becoming a facilitator, students are in the position of defining their goals)?
Answer:
Well it depends on how the teachers accept his/her role in the class and the availability of the technology in their educational setup. But with this setup that we have, it’s hard to change the student’s and teacher’s roles in the classroom. Especially the lack of facilities and skills of the teachers to apply these kind of tools as medium of instruction.
3. Technology is a two-edged sword, its effects on classrooms and students could be both positive and negative. Under ‘more collaboration with peers’, the author talks only of the positive impacts of technology. What could be the negative impacts under this section?
Answer:
The negative effect I see on this kind of teaching is that the students’ critical thinking as well as the abstract are narrowed down by the technologies, most students prefer to rely on internet rather than read, and analyze on their own. Because today’s generation almost everything are available in the internet so the students will just browse and download it what they need for school requirements.
4. For you, what is the most positive impact of technology on classroom and students? Why?
Answer:
The positive impact about these technologies it will broaden their knowledge, it would be easy them to access all the resources they need and it will make the teachers more creative presentations for their lectures. Because internet is the window to the world, there is no limit of what we can have because almost everything can be browse and have it.
