It may not be all, but the previous
generation, basically from us, have fears that they might not be able to relate
to what we use now. They feel like there is a “generation gap” between us and
them. These are just simple things but may often lead to conflicts in
relationships.
The previous generation includes
some of the teachers today. In this fast changing world, teachers too, as I
have always emphasized teachers must adapt. There, teaching styles should be
updated. With ICT in education, communication is faster and better and
sometimes may go through borders such as in “country-country” communication. But
I believe, teachers who are born on the previous generation are also exerting
efforts in coping up with the demand of the world, (thanks to DepEd for
providing trainings).
EXPERIENCE:

| Some find it hard to understand concepts |
The reporters showed pictures and
comparing the past and the present and made us realized the implication of the
gap between us and the previous generation with respect to technology. When I
was in high school, there are some subjects that I find hard to understand
because I simply can’t visualized what my teachers are teaching. When I went to
college, because of the manner of teaching, I come to understand those concepts
because of the use of technology (example, topics about cell, it took a while
for me to relate what was my teacher saying because I can’t imagine what a
mitochondrion looks like or golgi bodies, to name a few).
REFLECTION:
Teachers belonging to the previous
generation were not acquainted with technology during their time and the
teaching strategies they have learned are different from the students now,
hence, students should understand their teachers who teach traditionally but
teachers should also should learn to adapt to the learning styles of their
students too (I used third person because it seems to me that my teachers now
are up to date). Teachers must never hate technology and think of it as a
burden because technology in education is intended to help not to add to
problems.
APPLICATION:
In my teaching later, I certainly will
use technology not just to improve my mode of instruction but also to make it
easier for my students to understand what I am teaching to them most especially
the conceptual ones.
If it happened that I have a student
who is not acquainted with technology, then I will finds ways for him/her to
cope up. (Perhaps, I can group him/her with students who have gadgets and that
s/he’ll be able to learn easily).
Here is a video on how ICT changes the way teachers teach.
