aware and active in adopting state-of-the-
art Educational technology practices they
can possibly adopt.

schools may not even apply any more since
modern day computer hardware and
software rendered them obsolete.

acquired by school about five years ago are
not even compatible anymore to more
recent computer systems.
 “Don’t invest in technology
hardware/system that may become white
elephant in a few years time”

recognized by educators.

courses, present-day students become
computer literate.

thinking among students, teachers have
deemphasized rote learning and have spent
more times in methods to follow students

5.  Recent teaching-learning models (such as
constructivism and social constructivism)
have paved the way for instructional
approaches in which student rely less on
teachers as information-givers, and
instead their efforts to acquire
information, build their own
knowledge, and solve problems.
 The appropriate use of state-of-the-art
instruction with the use of IT, Tapping
the computer’s information and
communication tools.

6. OBJECTION IN E.T
 Computer is time-consuming and
expensive
 The computers may soon REPLACE
TEACHERS.

preparation and application of instructional tools.

education, school should now foster a student-
centered learning environment, wherein student
are given leeway to use computer information
sources in their assignment, reports and
presentations in written, visual, or dramatic forms.
