Response/s
The course contents are very relevant and
applicable in enhancing my competencies
as a 21st century teacher as it provides us
with the latest updates, trends, and
pedagogies in education. It also helps us
improves ourselves as teachers especially
in the use of technology in today’s trend
of giving instruction through ICT and
facilitating learning emphasis on
collaborative learning. We should also be
equipped with knowledge, skills, attitudes
and values so that we could also develop
it to our 21st century learners.
The significant learning insights that I
gained from this course are: to promote
quality education and to create globally-
competitive learners, we, teachers, should
be open to all the modifications in this 21st
century era. We should not limit ourselves
for continuous development. Also,
because of this course, I realize that we
should be flexible. We, teachers, should
know how to balance the responsibilities
we have on our shoulders. We must
continue learning and we should not stop
encouraging our learners to maximize
their full potential.
There are several challenges or difficulties
that I encountered during the course. One
of these and I think is the biggest reason
is time management that I really learned
the hard way during the SEAMEO. Due to
a lot of demand in our teaching
profession, I really have to set time to
read the modules and required readings
as well as make time in making the course
requirements. Another difficulty is that
when doing my class demonstration.
Since the whole Province of Iloilo is in
Enhanced Community Quarantine, it is
difficult to have my learners. But because
our tutor tells us to be more creative, I tap

my nieces to be my learners (even though
they are only 3 of them) and bring them
to my classroom to have a true classroom
atmosphere.
The area that I think I need to improve on
as a 21st century classroom manager is
on classroom management. This is
because I have learners who continuously
abusing the good side they see in me.
Though I have established and posted
classroom rules and regulations as well as
letting them sign in anecdotal records and
call the attention of their parents, I am
progressing slowly. On the other hand, I
think I am in good position being a 21st
century teacher and a facilitator of
learning.
I was once a hesitant in joining this class
session since I ought to start my
Doctorate Degree in Educational
Management this summer. But my
colleagues forced me to attend the
orientation last 15th of January. Along the
orientation, my quest for professional
development is rising. And never did I
expect that I enjoyed being a flexible
learner here in SEAMEO Innotech. I was
also happy to be part of Batch 2 Class 2
Though our chat session changed, it is no
doubt that we always ended up contented
with our discussion. With regards to
requirements, we were blessed to have an
understanding Tutor. Amidst the
Pandemic COVID 19 that hinders us to
have our “normal” classroom
demonstration, she encourages us to be
creative. Over all, I was glad that I say
YES in joining GURO21 under Batch 2
Class 2. I hope to see all my classmates
and our dear tutor.
For suggestion, maybe the SEAMEO
management could add 2 more chat
sessions to make it into 6 chat sessions
while doing the remaining course
requirements so that flexible learners will
have more time in reading and reflecting
as well as exchanging ideas together in
 the coverage of the course.
