questions.

1.Discuss the disparity in educational technology advancement in schools of

industrialized First World country (such as the US, England, Japan, Singapore,

 Australia) and still developing country, namely the Philippines

The disparity of educational technology advancement in schools of industrial First count(such as the U.S., England, Japan, Singapore, Australia)are very much hi-tech..

The above mentioned countries are very much advance when it comes to educationtechnology.

Therefore, the adoption of technological improvements requires the use of capital goods whiare in a true sense the carriers and embodiments of improved technology.

Philippines is still a developing country because there are many experimenting with sutechnologies and related programs to expand educational opportunities for their populationWhile some of the latest technologies have now reached the least developed countries, it honly affected certain limited sectors of their economy and has not permeated their social aeconomic structure; the main fields of production are largely untouched.

2.Given the lack of resources in our rural areas in the Philippines, what media can

still be used for effective learning in schools?

Technology nowadays is very demand in schools most of the teachers now, are using

technologies as their partner in teaching and also for the students as partner in their learning

Technologies lessen the work of the teachers but how about those rural areas? Until now, ther

are some provinces especially the rural areas. As we all know using technologies nowadays are

very effective for the students learning. However this is not a hindrance for the teacher and th

students in their learning because even if there are no technologies involved in a classroom

setting still students can learn through the use of traditional instructional materials such as t

cartolina, manila papers or even textbooks they can also have the newspapers, articles, journa

or even dictionaries. Using technologies are much easier and convenient but for those who

belong in the rural areas they can rely on textbooks, articles or newspapers and for the teache

to be effective in his/her teaching he/she can use the cartolina or manila paper to introduce

his/her topic since its aim is to teach the students and to promote learning. Because as what

Educational Technology1 said that teachers should not only depend on technologies he/she

should put in mind that the technology is only a partner of his/her teaching.

3.Computer shops are pervasive around schools, but these are mainly used for

 playing games. Without judging on the possibly dehumanizing effects of excessiv

computer game habits, how can a learner best use computer resources as they ma

be available in schools or at home?

Technology can be boon or bane. It can help every student for their learning. In school we can

see a lot of internet café that makes the work or the assignments of the students easier, but

there are some students who make the technology a bane, some students used the computers

for their pleasure, for playing games or worst for watching pornography. A student can best us

computer resources that are available to their schools or home by downloading the websites th

are necessary for their learning and it is very convenient if that certain student has a printer a

home in which he/she can easily print the information and assignments that he/she needs…

a certain learner has a computer at home that certain student should look into the computer

his partner in learning, he should value the computer, and he should not abuse it.
