17. TABLETS
FOR
TEXTBOOKL E S S O N 1 8

18.  For Philippine schools, even for private
Tablet-for – learning is still futuristic.
 Books are still the primary medium of
instruction in most schools.

19. DIS ADVANTAGES OF USING
BOOKS
- For school-graders the load of books and
workbooks for every subject are
backbreaking due to their weight and size.
- One-book for every student is still goal
not reality.
- The errors in public school textbooks have
also been exposed errors resulting from
wrong information, technical mistakes and
editorial lapses.

21. TODAY
 Technology is being viewed as a savior.
 Computer games have been adopted as a
learning technology along with other
audio-visual aids to teaching-and-
learning.
 Educational video gaming has been shown
to inculcate competencies that relate to
learning concentration, lasting memory
recall and higher visual literacy.

22. De La Salle Experience
 The future is now.
 The use of tablets as
a primary learning tool to
replace textbooks.

23.  Young students carry many books which
can be physically burdensome.
 The effectiveness of book print also wanes
in comparison with the used of television,
video and computer gaming.

28. TABLET FOR SCHOOLS
Use of tablets in public schools in the
country may be difficult considering
certain factors:
 Cost of one tablet for one student is not
within budget capability or beyond
capability of government which cannot
even fully comply with one book for one
student.

29.  Books have more durability compared with
electronic gadgets due to handling, energy
charging, heat and moist.
 Technical expertise for learning software is
not widely available.
 Swift evolution of content in learning may
outrun the tedious preparation of software
is making the product irrelevant to the
dynamism of educational programs.

31. Conditions in Philippine education
 Youths in far-flung areas not reached
 Number of classrooms and facilities
inadequate
 Quality of work life of teachers below
standards

34.  Technology itself may be a key to problem
resolution and Filipino ingenuity is called
to respond to the challenge facing the
digital generation of millennium.
