Lesson 18
Tablets for Textbooks in Schools
Today,
books are still the primary medium of instruction in most schools. It is
doubtful if these will totally be replaced by digital technology reading tools,
but there are now perceptions that virtual literacy may very well ease out
textual print literacy.
Moreover, today
technology is being viewed as a savior. Given the fact students are enamoured
by computer games which take much of their time at home, educators has begun to
think that the computer screen can very well serve as a powerful educational
medium.
Many
schools are now engaging their students with tablets for textbooks in schools.
One of the most popular example of this is the De La Salle in which
administrators, teachers, parents and other stakeholders have made it possible
through reasonable IT payments, full support of parents and teachers in the IT
advancements.
Since
this concept deals with highly advanced innovation in school facilities and
administration, I have no experience that is similar to it. But, I do have
indirectly related experiences with using tablets for textbooks in schools. I
or even most of the students in Central Mindanao University downloads reference
materials from the internet and then view them to our smart phones/android phones/tablets
or PC’s. Thus, these experiences can really relate to what De La Salle students
are experiencing today.
It is
really a great help if tablets are used as textbooks in schools, it is because
of its advanced design and efficient usage. If students will be granted the
chance to experience it, the students will really enjoy while learning many
things through the handy and effective tablets.
I can
apply the knowledge about tablets for textbooks in schools when I will teach
soon. It is because I know that the gradual advancements of technology and the
satisfaction of curiosity of educators with the help of other people like IT
experts will really realize this plan throughout many schools in the
Philippines sooner or later.
