between Textbook and Tablets. Tablets for learning is still futuristic, but
today’s books are still the primary of medium instruction in must schools.
These will be replace by digital technology reading tools, but the
disadvantages of using books are backbreaking due to their weight and size.
Publishing and printing millions of books are too much expensive. If there is
an error information the technical mistakes and editorial lapses. The
technology is being view as a saviour. Learning technology along other
audio-visual aids in teaching learning process.
EXPERIENCE
I have been exposed to different books
and tablets as well. But if i were to choose which is the best? Well, both or combination
of the two will much better. Based on my experienced, I use the books at the
same time the tablet. And using the both i think is advantageous because it
really helps me a lot in my study. Tablets for convenience and books for
detailed knowledge. Its up to you on what to prefer but I prefer to used both
at the same time.
REFLECTION
For me, yes it can be replace the
textbooks to tablets because during my high school years, carrying heavy books
in the school is burdensome for me. Thanks to IT because it developed software
which entail for us to be trained by the teachers in preparing interactive
discussion. Tablets for school may be difficult but the books have more
durability compared with electronic gadgets due to handling, energy charging,
and heat and most lastly, technology is being viewed as our saviour.
Today, books are still the primary medium of
instruction in most schools. Already, there is a disadvantage of using books
for learning that are being debated upon. The errors in public school textbooks
have also been exposed, errors resulting from wrong information, technical
mistakes and editorial lapses.
Today, technology is being viewed as a saviour because
the students are enamoured by computer games. By that, the educators have begun
to think that the computer screen can very well serve as a power point
educational medium.
In general, tablets as a primary learning tool
can be replacing the textbooks. Tablets are conducive to higher thinking,
constructive and participative teaching-and-learning. By that, parents gave
full support to the IT advancement. Technology itself may be a key to problem
resolution and Filipino ingenuity is called to respond to the challenge facing
the digital generation of the millennium.
