1. Interview Guide:

Question: As a teacher, do you integrate also the use of ICT in your class? Why?

Interviewee: Yes. Because we are in the 21st century, and integrating ICT as part of our class discussion makes the lesson more engaging
and understandable to students.

Interviewer: How ICT helped you in teaching students?

Using ICT in my class discussion made my presentation of topics more enjoying. I was able to add video clips that makes it more
understandable to both audio and visual learners.

Interviewer: Is there disadvantages in using computer during your class? If there is, what are those?

Interviewee:
At some point, there are some disadvantages in using computer during class discussions. Example: if it is brown out, I cannot able to
connect to projector or TV the laptop. And if I just use the laptop alone, it will not be readable to students who are sitting at the back.

Interviewer: Is the computer you are using during class discussion being provided by the school?

Interviewee:
No. It is my personal laptop that I am using.

Interviewer: What do you think is the advantage of being computer literate as a teacher?

Interviewee:
The advantage of using computer is that I can add more information from the internet, and with this, topics presented is up-to-date and
students will be informed of the current trend and news in line with the topic.

Based on the information I have obtained, I have concluded that the usage of computers is essential to the
educational system of the twenty-first century. A teacher could include current events and trends into his subject.
Computer use may also add enjoyment and interest to the subject. Additionally, themes will be more visually appealing
to learners and simple for both auditory and visual learners to understand. Despite the fact that computers are a huge
assistance to teachers, they also have drawbacks. One drawback is that if the power goes off, it cannot be utilized
correctly. Another drawback is that the teacher personally provides the laptop and internet used. Therefore, using a
computer and the internet comes at their own expense and occasionally costs them money from their personal accounts.
Overall, utilizing a computer to learn is beneficial for students. However, using a computer offers benefits and drawbacks
for teachers.
