MARIANO MARCOS STATE UNIVERSITY College of Teacher Education Name: Kristine Valerie R. Tolentino Section: BTVTED III-A Activity 2 10 years from now, you will become a teacher. New technologies will be developed and you see drastic effects on planet earth. How will you respond to the booming technologies that will endanger life on earth? Technology is very important in our society, without it we would not be able to survive in our ever changing society or not having technology to cope up with our ever changing society. Since everything has become more accessible and more convenient people tend to log off and become lazy. This with better solutions and easier work load comes the over dependence of people to technology. The tend not to think for them selves anymore and let technology take over there lives. This is bad for its makes us the slaves of technology instead of us controlling them they are the ones that control us. Technology is important in every society. But if we insist on using and depending on it a lot it can also destroy us. So we must think for ourselves if it is worth it and use it as we see fit. Educational innovations emerge in various areas and in many forms. There are innovations in a way education systems are organized and managed, exemplified by charter schools or school accountability systems. There are innovations in instructional techniques or delivery systems, such as the use of new technologies in the classroom. Innovation can be directed toward progress in one, several, or all aspects of the educational system: theory and practice, curriculum, teaching and learning, policy, technology, institutions and administration, institutional culture, and teacher education. It can be applied in any aspect of education that can make a positive impact on learning and learners. So, as a future teacher I want to raise the quality of teaching, to enhance teacher education, professional development and life-long learning environment. Many of us believe grand reforms or powerful technologies will transform our education system. Whatever technologies we devise for education, however much technology we integrate into learning, the human element, particularly the learner and teacher, remains problematic. So, while taking advantage of effective educational technologies, we must situate those modern tools within a wider context of human education in order to preserve its humanistic, developmental purpose and, thus, make more effective use of them. In order to succeed, innovative education must become a collective matter for all society for which we must generate universal public responsibility. Otherwise, all our efforts to build an effective educational system will fail.
