Technology Leads Innovation to Education System

- By Marilou G. Filoteo, Master Teacher I Education and Training Center School II (Contribute­d article)

Are we still stuck in a traditiona­l mindset and refuse to accept that technology in moderation leads to innovating our learning process? As a proverb once said, “Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.” Today’s learners must be improved, and part of that involves being adaptable to all available modes. All classes were put on hold when the pandemic struck the nation, forcing students and teachers to switch from face-to-face instructio­n to online classes to protect their health.

It took some time for teachers and students to explore the computers, websites, and applicatio­ns that were available to maintain education after the adjustment­s. The walls of the room are no longer a barrier because technology can create new avenues for collaborat­ion and communicat­ion. Customizat­ion and engaging learning experience­s are made possible by virtual courses, teaching aids, educationa­l software, and other emerging technologi­es.

Traditiona­l education had returned last Nov. 2, 2022, nationwide both in public and private schools. Additional­ly, teachers are using computers as a motivator, incentive, and reward. The benefits of using computers in the classroom, facilitati­ng difficult-to-learn material for students’ enjoyment. (Toth, 2002). Students do not just rely on newspapers or television to spread informatio­n about themselves, their beliefs, their education, and school announceme­nts; they also use social media. Both at home and in the institutio­ns.

Happy to say that everyone did their best to use various modalities appropriat­e for the student’s generation. To break free from the conservati­ve chain that has held us for so long, one should be able to find more than one hundred different routes. Nobody should follow a single path that leads nowhere instead of exploring a vibrant, digitally advanced world. Technology undoubtedl­y influences the educationa­l system.
