The Integration of Technology in Education

New options for teaching and learning are made possible by the rise of
technology integration. Let us capitalize this advantage in our teaching work
which really provides a new avenue for improving the learning environment for
both teachers and students, making it more participatory and fruitful. DepEd
exhorts educators to create technologically enhanced lessons that cover
curricular content and improve teaching abilities. As a result, an increasing
number of teachers are now exposing themselves to the technological
advancements that can complement their teaching abilities. Additionally, the
effective use of technology in the classroom contributes significantly to a rise in
teacher effectiveness and productivity.
