BSED ENGLISH - ANGELICASORIA - Final Term Activity 5
According to Mishra & Koehler (2006), ―the simple incorporation of technology into the
educational process is not enough. Many approaches to the professional development of
teachers provide a one-size-fits-all approach to technology integration when, in reality,
teachers work as a potential teacher in a variety of teaching and learning contexts – facing
these challenges.
What other matters or concerns should teachers look into and consider concerning the use and
integration of instructional media and technology?
Addressing the concerns of integrating technology in the classroom is a must, there must be a
well-prepared educator for the reality and changes of technology to the learners enable them
to deliver the learning process effectively. Above anything else there should be knowledge
and professional development a teacher must possess in online world, teachers should
manifest a safe online environment that there is no misuse of technology, students and
teachers must keep up with the changes upon integrating technology in the classroom.
Second, one of the concerns that teachers must look into is the financial capacity of the
students, the cost of technology is not preferable to all students that will result into shortage
of interaction in the classroom there will be limited accessibility the network connection and
more importantly the knowledge of students in terms of using technology. There are also
instances the motivation of both teacher and students due to lack of equipment and the
rapidly changing ways technology brings, by that integration of technology can bring
advancement and innovation in learning yet teachers should prepare and be more equip to its
considerations to make learning with technology a competent learning experience.
