With our progressive state policies that

support technology-in-education, our
educators today have become more
aware and active in adopting state-ofthe-art educational technology
practices they can possibly adopt.

The following trends should also be

recognized by educators:

They send e-mail, prepare computer encoded class

reports, even make power-point presentation
sometimes to the surprise of their media traditionbound teachers.
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.
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.

In addition, teachers should acquire computer

skills for so that they can serve as models in
integrating educational technology in the
teaching-learning process.
Following modern trends in technology-related
education, schools should now foster a studentcentered learning environment, wherein students
are given leeway to use computer information
sources in their assignments, reports and
presentation in written, visual, or dramatic forms.

All these suggestion show that teachers and

schools can no longer avoid the integration of
educational technology in instruction.
Especially in the coming years, when portable
and mobile computing will make computing
activities easier to perform, the approaches to
classroom pedagogy musts change.
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.
