THE NEW WAY OF LEARNING

JEFFREY D. PAMINTUAN

In the world we currently live in, schools conduct home-based learning. Gadgets and technology are vital factors in the new way of learning which enable students to be active in educational process even at home or out of the classroom. Laptops, smartphones, tablets, and e-books are some gadgets that are being used to innovate the learning process of the students nowadays. Gadgets and technology are now increasingly growing its “importance in the education sector”.

The more advance the technologies are, the more benefits it provides for students at every educational level.

However, utilizing this innovation poses serious challenge because of some factors like poverty and lack of accessible internet connections in some rural areas. It is important that there are numerous charities and government aid programs to help schools and extend support or assistance to the students.

In Home Based schooling the teachers will give instructions, lessons and modules to their students. Parents and guardians will serve as “at home teachers” to impose proper supervision and guidance to make sure that students are in the line given in this digital age.

Home based schooling will still be a daunting challenge for teachers, students and parents alike. Be as it may, I am certain that with the help of each other there is no bigger problem that can’t be solved.
