LESSON 3 – EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION



            Information and Communication Technology in the different countries namely New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Hongkong has been widely used in the teaching-learning process. It aims for a more quality of school education to students. The use of computers is very vital in our Educational System now a day. In offices, a computer is needed for making every task effective and efficient.

            In the Philippines now a days the Department of Education is starting to adapt in this high technology for students to be competitive in the global network. The plan of 1:1 ratio for student and computer isn’t that reachable as of today because we have a huge number of students enrolled in every school all over the Philippines. The allotted budget for education isn’t that big enough to meet these demands. The government is trying to give a number of computer units for the use of everyone in school. But it isn’t enough for them to learn. And so to cope up with the Information Technology use in education the government should focus on giving support for the purchase of these IT equipments.

            For the past few years, Philippines have been the number one (1) texting capital in Asia. The use of such device helps everyone to communicate with other people easily. It also helps in the learning process through browsing the internet using cellphones and transferring of facts from one person to another. But one of the disadvantages of cellphones texting is using incorrect spelling or shortened word wherein users become use to it until such time they would forget the correct spelling of words. That’s why technology has advantages and disadvantages it is just how a person use it to make it useful in his daily life.
