The document discusses state-of-the-art educational technology (ET) application practices. It notes that with supportive state policies, educators have become more aware and active in adopting the best ET practices. It also notes that students are now computer literate, able to send emails and create presentations, while teachers have emphasized comprehension over rote learning and include higher-order thinking in assessments. Recent teaching models have students acquire information themselves rather than relying on teachers. The document recommends schools acquire appropriate hardware and software through advice, and train teachers to integrate ET and serve as models to foster a student-centered, technology-enabled learning environment.

3. With our progressive state
policies that support
technology-in-education,
our educators today
have become more aware
and active in adopting
state-of-the-art
educational technology
practices they can
possibly adopt.

4. The following trends
should also be
recognized by educators:

5. Through school or
training center
computer courses,
present-day students
have become
computer literate.

6. They send e-mail,
prepare computer
encoded class reports,
even make power-point
presentation
sometimes to the
surprise of their media
tradition-bound
teachers.

7. Teachers have
deemphasized rote
learning and have spent
more time in methods
to allow students to
comprehend/internalize
lessons.

8. Shifting focus from lower-level
traditional learning outcomes,
student assessment/examinations
have included measurement of
higher level learning outcomes
such as creative and critical
thinking skills.

9. Recent teaching-learning models
(such as constructivism and social
constructivism) have paved the
way for instructional approaches
in which students rely less on
teachers as information-givers,
and instead more on their efforts
to acquire information, build
their own knowledge, and solve
problems.

10. Virtue is in moderation
and so, there is truly a
need for teachers to
balance their time to the
preparation and
application of
instructional tools.
•

11. Through wise technical
advice, schools can also
acquire the most
appropriate computer
hardware and software.
At the same time, training
should ensure that the
use of ET is fitted to
learning objectives
•

12. In addition, teachers
should acquire
computer skills for so
that they can serve as
models in integrating
educational technology
in the teaching-learning
process.

14. Following modern trends in
technology-related
education, schools should
now foster a student-
centered learning
environment, wherein
students are given leeway to
use computer information
sources in their assignments,
reports and presentation in
written, visual, or dramatic
forms.

15. All these suggestion
show that teachers
and schools can no
longer avoid the
integration of
educational
technology in
instruction.

16. Especially in the
coming years, when
portable and mobile
computing will make
computing activities
easier to perform, the
approaches to
classroom pedagogy
musts change.

17. And with continuing
changes in high-speed
communication, mass
storage of data, including
the revolutionary changes
among school libraries,
educators should be open
for more drastic
educational changes in
the years ahead.

18. That ends my
report..
Thank you and God
bless
