DISCUSSION
1. How do Philippine schools
compare with schools in progressive countries in the Asia Pacific region?
Ø The schools in the
Philippines are still developing but it isn’t not progressing much due to the
lack of support and funding of government to education. Other Asia Pacific
regions are more progressive due to support of the government for the
progression of their education…
2. The plan of the department
of education is to supply computers to public elementary and high schools at a
ratio of 1 schools-1 computer. How adequate or inadequate do you find this plan
considering that the public school system in the Philippines has an average of
1,000 students in each school?
Ø The DEPED’s plan is really
inadequate because 1,000 students cannot learn by just using one computer. It a
lot more effective if the school and government provide enough computers in the
school so learners can practice on how can they the computer properly.
3. What can be the proposed so
that the Philippines can cope up with its neighbors on IT education?
Ø So that our country Philippines
can cope up with its neighbors on IT education, it is better to have more
advanced technologies. It is better to educate students starting from
elementary on the computers we are using so that they may be able to use it in
the future since we are in a modern generation. The Government should support and gives funds in the progression of
education. Many countries are progressing due to the development of their
education. If the government does this, we could easily cope up with our
neighboring countries.
4.
Filipinos, including students,
are hooked up on cell phone texting. Is this enough for information skills
literacy for our citizens and youths? Mention the benefits and disadvantages of
our texting culture.
Ø Text Messaging is silent communication between two
individuals. You can send text messages to each other without other people
being able to hear what is being said. Text messaging has its advantages than
over making a regular phone call on your cell phone. They enable you the
privacy to exchange messages with each other without fear of other people
knowing what you and another individual are talking about. You can also send
pictures in text messages instantly. But there are a lot of disadvantages of
texting. Texting can be addictive, some student instead of studying, they’re
more focus on texting. Another disadvantage is being illiterate, if a person is
used to texting by the use of jejemon, he / she be used on writing on a wrong
grammar.
