Angelito M. Marimla

Learning takes place anywhere and at any time. It is well-thought-out that wisdom is not limited to the educational setting. You can instil knowledge as long as the willingness of the pupils is there. It is a great challenge nowadays for the teacher to accept the scenario in online learning. Teachers are embracing new technological tools and used them within their teaching practice.

Computers, cell phones, radio, and other educational materials contribute to new learning approaches and learning preferences. In our new-fangled setting that applies advanced technology must be the top priority. Nevertheless, it is a challenge for us teachers on how to be assured that learning takes place.

Pupils must learn something new that can help them as they struggle in their education set up. Do not just base the information given by the teacher or provided by the net, instead of doing some follow up and other related activities to ensure that learning takes place.

Some learning approaches are now designed specifically for this new technology, allow schools and classrooms to reach the heights. Here is the following which we can embrace technology-based learning approaches: Problem-based learning, student-created content, collaborative learning, competency-based education, active learning, and blended learning.

With all these, a teacher is always a teacher, heroes in the eye of our learners. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED no matter what happens.
