Have you ever experienced on using technology that you expected to have without having any hardship of getting your ideal usage of technology in the educational system? Is it effective in your way and to what extent does it make an advantage to use in education? There are many countries who are now belong to the first world country with facilities

and industrialization that gives a satisfaction on every student and teacher needs. They are advanced in using the technology that makes them an advanced learner. Now, we belong to a country that belongs to the countries that have slow action in developing industrialization, a country who is still developing from then up to now, which is the Philippines. Compared to the other countries, their government provides so much that it satisfies their needs. Here in the Philippines, it is a long process before you get the thing you requested, it needs so much action, it needs so much effort before you get what you want. How should and could we belong to those countries that have more potential, that are more advanced?

The inequality of educational technology advancement in every country affects the people and its nation. No budget allotted, means no facilities, no facilities, means there is no support given. It also means that the government did not take much time to pay attention when it comes to this matter. It is not only for the sake of belonging to the other countries as they have been an industrialized country for the past years until now.

Here in the Philippines, we have been bagged as the developing country beforehand until at present, but never been a country that have already developed and progressive. Isn’t it praiseworthy? There are only a few schools who have facilities that is sufficient to use in daily classroom discussion or daily needs of every student as they are a part of the 21^st Century education, which is having the use of newly acquired technology to sustain on the necessity of new learning, especially that the country is already implementing the K-12 curriculum. A lot of schools do not have enough resources to use in day-to-day classroom learning, the fact that there are a lot of us who are already knowledgeable when it comes to using high technology. Accepting the fact that, our country is being compared to the other countries’ success since we are years away from their advancement such as the U.S. of A. who is already developing few years after the Philippines is discovered by Magellan, and now an industrialized, progressive, and an influential country.

As a youth, a student, and a future educator, we must make a move on how we are going to develop our technology in education. It is not just about competing to the other country’s ability to produce and enhanced education, but to be knowledgeable on how we are going to mold the learning of the children/students in the near future. The fact that, every thing has advantages and disadvantages, and it is inevitable. We will just embrace change and bridge the gap.

To make my future students learn, I must start learning within myself. Experience is the best teaching strategy, what I know is what I should teach. If there is no enough technology to use, then make use of what is traditionally used. Although we are not wealthy enough to provide high technology objects, we are wealthy in molding the knowledge of every student. Make them understand the idea that life is fair enough to be unfair.
