Technology is an integral part of the educational system.

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.
