Technology is an integral part of education globally to develop digitally literate and competitive individuals. For remote areas with limited internet, a teacher incorporated technology into lessons and advocated for its inclusion in the curriculum. Subjects requiring digital skills focus on tool usage and online information evaluation. Other topics use video lessons and projects to enhance skills and interest while engaging with limited resources. The school aims to collaborate with local government and stakeholders to creatively address technology needs and ensure learner participation.

Due to global standards of learning and
employment, being digitally literate is essential to be acknowledged as a “globally competitive individual” in the society. To achieve this, accessibility and availability of the technologies should be met creating a foundation of learning by which the implementors, the teachers and the students, should assess to embrace proficient outcomes. As a teacher being assigned in a far-flung area where internet connectivity and availability of digital resources are limited, I incorporated technology into teaching methods and advocated for its integration into the curriculum. For some subject areas that needs engagement of digital literacy skills, helping them not just how to utilize digital tools, but also how to critically evaluate online information is a must. Other subject areas need to be associated with technology must be addressed by video lessons and project-based learning. This will not only enhance their digital skills but will also add interest to the learners. Still, our school is in dire need of the digital resources (1 st level digital divide) and collaborating with the local government unit (LGU) is also considered. Yet, we can also explore alternative ways for the learners to gain skills for them to participate and should consider offline platforms that don’t rely on heavily internet access. Additionally, collaborating with other stakeholders to address in finding creative solutions that ensure all learners can participate and gain knowledge and skills regardless of the struggles faced in the school and the community.
