Lesson 18: Tablets for textbooks in Schools

Tablets for textbooks in Schools, this lesson talks about how the tablets could replace a textbook as one of the resource in student’s learning. It is said that technology is being viewed as a savior. Given the fact that students are enamored by computer games which take much of their time at home. The use of tablets in public schools in the country may be difficult considering certain factors, it cost and the technical expertise for the learning software is not widely available. There’s really possibilities that the textbooks could be replaced by tablets nowadays because of its uses. We all know that how useful tablet is aside from its capacity to store information, you can access different website to help you get through with the activities on class.

                       My experience in this lesson is that we’ve been divided into 2 groups and did a debate, on what is more advantage the tablet or the textbooks of course! At the end of the debate nobody was declared as the winner because even we all know how useful the tab is, we can’t assure that it will last forever, we could still expect some technical problems on the gadget. I often wondered why the government didn’t realize that It’s better to use those gadgets in education. But then, we cannot guarantee that this will give us a good technical service.

                       As a reflection to this lesson, I must not only rely on the things that technology could offer still, our textbooks could give us the right learning the students needed. But of course! I’ll encourage myself to master those things because today we need to learn how to do multi-tasking. I also reflect that as a future teacher, the students should be taught how to use these gadgets properly in a good means wherein they will be inspired to navigate through the use of this gadgets without going to those restricted websites whenever they will use it as a means of learning.

                       In application to this, I will teach my students on the proper usage of the technology so that they will become better individual who are technically aware and who knows the limits of the gadgets that they are using in the school. As it was mentioned that students nowadays were being addicted on computer games, as a future teacher maybe I could turn their addiction on computer games by means of giving them an educational games where their intelligences will be develop.
