Back in the days when we are in elementary/ grade school, ICT or other technologies and multimedia are still limited. as we might know, the way of teaching, learning, studying and etc. have extremally improve. And this is the result of the introduction of ICT in the education systems here in the Philippines.
In our elementary days, everything is taught and executed traditionally. Such as the way of teaching. Where the teachers or students prepare visual aids like a manila paper and other printed pictures when teaching or presenting. Then the students need to write every word in their notebook and then pass it to their teachers. But now that we are in senior high school, where technologies and ICT have already influenced us. Making a presentation and presenting it has become way easier. Because we can create any presentation in a minute by just searching and getting all the information that we need in our PowerPoint presentation. We can also create a more creative and informative presentation through the use of ICT. The students are now also not required to take notes because the teacher could just share the files with everyone.
When seminars or any event happen in our school, way back in elementary. Everything is done traditionally or in the old ways where there is someone incharge for leading a prayer and conducting singing of the national anthem. where as in the present since, everyone mostly use ICT seminars could be done virtually and the prayer and national anthem are played using multimedia such as PowerPoint presentations, video or audio.
An example of these are the following videos:
Teachers have one of the most toughest jobs because, they need to learn what they are going to teach, evaluate and guide their students, the amount of paper works are also tremendous that they even do it while they are at home. ICT is a great help for a lot of teachers because instead of writing the and computing the grades of the students manually on their class records. They can now input the grades on excel and it computes automatically after putting the formula. ICT did not just lessen the amount of work that teachers need to do but, it also saves time.
As much as it helps the teachers, ICT is also a big help to a lot of students, especially nowadays. ICT gives students free access to education wherein they can search a lot of things related to their studies. When I was in elementary when doing assignments and research. I would always have to re-study the whole lesson just to answer my assignments or ask my teachers or my parents to explain it to me. But now that I have ICT, I can easily access information that is related to my assignment and research. It also sometimes provides tutorials that help me understand the lessons more.
Therefore, the changes that ICT has brought in the education of the Filipinos are so diverse that it covers and helps everyone who wants to learn and those who seek to educate. The way of learning has improved that it enables learner to gain more knowledge search anything that they would like to know using ICT. It also made the lives of teachers and students easier. ICT gives us a lot of advantages but there are also some disadvantages. Such as the more students have become dependent into using ICT that it affects their lives and capabilities to do things on their own. But, despite this we cannot reject the fact that it helps us a lot in different kinds of things that it became part of our lives. To avoid the negative impacts of ICT we must learn on how to properly use it.
