Reflection

Write your reflections by completing the following statements:

I realized that the efforts teachers put into integrating digital media into their teaching practices
is crucial. Providing them with adequate support, resources, and professional development
opportunities can further empower them to leverage digital media effectively for enhanced
student learning.

I believe it is essential for teachers to have financial support from the government in order for
them to provide those digital gadgets that they will use in teaching.

From now on, I am determined that teachers can make informed decisions about integrating
digital media into their teaching practices in ways that effectively support student learning while
fostering engagement and skill development.
