What have you learned?

I learned that each school has different policies, guidelines, and rules that
they implement in their ICT facilities. I also learned that the DICT or the
Department of Information Communication and Technology that in each school
provides Tech4Ed programs that are not only available to students, teachers, and
school staff, but also to stakeholders and the community who also have access to
ICT-enabled services in education, employment, entrepreneurship, and economic
development. Schools provide these guidelines for the safety of students,
stakeholders, and teachers. There are also guidelines for safe Internet browsing,
storage of important files, and prevention of accidents in the facilities.

What do you want to know more?

I would like to know more about some problems that the school encounters in its
ICT facilities and what measures it takes to solve these problems, especially the
behavior of students when they do their ICT activities. So that I can have some
ideas when I become a teacher in the future, it can help me to be prepared and
already know what to do when I encounter these problems.

What will you do with what you've learned?

As a future teacher, this survey helps us a lot about the ICT school policy, the
guidelines and rules approved by the Ministry of Education for the safety of the
users, I will comply and understand these guidelines and rules for the students
and also my safety when using technology. Also, this survey improves my
understanding and knowledge about the facilities, what to do and what not to do
in ICT for my future reference.
