REFLECTION
(Policies and Issues on Internet and Implications to
Teaching and Learning)

The learners of the 21st Century are even more advanced than some of the teachers. However,
learners still need guidance on how to use, regulate technology use. As there are positive and
negative effects of technology use, learners should know the difference. Learners should not only
know the benefits of technology use, but they should also know how they can be protected from
the hazards that technology brings to their lives. Learners should take advantage of the potential
of learning support they can derive such as the development of higher order thinking skills, the
development of learning communities through collaboration, the enhancement of skills to
manage the valid resources as 21st century learners and many more. Both teachers and learners
should be mindful of the e-waste that are being thrown away to the land and to the atmosphere.
In this lesson, we have to be aware of some issues and the implications of technology that might
be applicable for using technology. After this topic was discussed and explained I realized that
technology is very important to as a part of our lives. It is very important to understand every
policy and issue regarding technology. It is not only for communicating with each other but for
many effective used for teaching. This topic is not only for teachers and learners but to all people
who used technology to be aware of some policy to protect their privacy. It tells us to be more
knowledgeable when using technology. In this generation, we are closely using technology in
everyday we do. A 21st century learners that technology is very common to us as a part our lives.
So as a future teacher, I will apply what I've learned in this topic. I will use it as a guide for them
for using technology. I can be their instructor for good. ICT policy is important to know for them
to be aware as a technology literate.
