What can you say about using ICT in teaching to the new normal?

As new modes of everyday interaction are made possible through online platforms,
education likewise shifted online. Academic institutions from both public and private prompted
to continue classes through online. It is perceived as a remedy in order not to paralyze the flow
of learning. However, this left a huge gap among students and teachers, leaving those who have
no access to internet connection left behind.

The intention is purposeful and with a conducive environment and proper guidelines,
online classes would be effective. However, with our current state and our countries weak
internet connectivity and lack of resources, online modes of learning will just further resurface
the digital divide evident in our educational sphere. Only those who have the resources to buy
gadgets and to get an internet connection in their homes are the ones who are privileged to
continue their learning despite the physical distance and yet even having the resources, online
classes still threatens our aim towards quality education. Thus, the use of modular as the mode of
learning is much applicable for students especially those who are out of internet’s coverage and
those who lacks the priviledge to acquire gadgets to be used at home.?
