before choosing what media
you will use.

better with multimedia. Use of
such is highly recommended.

equal to spending a lot. There
are media formats or types
which costs zero or just a little.

accessible, be vigilant enough
about copyright infringement
and plagiarism.

of copyright and plagiarism to
avoid such issues in the future.

17. What does the picture say about
technology and teaching?
Are you for it?

18. If technology is designed to make the
lives of people easier,
Then let’s use it to our advantage.
Integrate technology and education.

19. Think about these!

20. 1. Teachers must be able to welcome
change. If we ourselves will resist it, how
will we expect our students to welcome it?

21. 2. “Technology should never become the
masterpiece of teaching”. It’s still
the content that matters

22. 3. Keep in mind that there can be technical
difficulties. There’s nothing wrong with
having back-ups.

23. 4. Computers are great communication
tools. But let’s watch for potential
“computer addict” students.
