Tablets for Textbooks in School
With
advent of Tablets, reading, and learning as a whole have become less
cumbersome. If books makes someone’s back ache, tablets are now here to take
that burden away. Today, books however are still the number one medium of
instruction in schools. Books are more durable than tablets but many educators
now prefer the use of tablet in the teaching and learning process. Aside from
the fact that it is less bulky, it offers a wide and faster way in accessing
information because it cannot only contain books but also access the net. A
book has its advantages, a tablet also has its pros – either of this two may
prevail today but we cannot deny the fact that we are towards the digital realm
where digital things are inevitable. With the present condition of the
Philippines, it is still difficult for the government to provide all students
tablets. For now, school administration, teachers, and parents must agree upon
the notion of using tablets in school since tablets for now are very expensive,
if there is a want to use tablets in the school.
As an experienced, I have my own tablet. Yes it very handy and I am comfortable
to use because it has the capabilities and abilities that the computer has. I
even made and read powerpoint on it. I also made documents and other things
that are useful in my studies. So I can say that tablet is essential in
teaching and learning process but I must also read books and does not only rely
on my tablet.
Implementing
tablets instead of books in the school can be possible only in the school or
institution which they can afford. But in the rural areas it can impossible
because of the students are not all wealthy to provide a tablet as their source
of information. And it also causes a double jeopardy to the teacher because the
teacher must teach his/her students how to manipulate tablets. Unlike in the
urban areas they are more updated and they are more engage to technology.
For
me as a teacher someday, I must use only the available materials in the school
as a tool of my instruction. I must also creative and innovative in doing it.
Tablets are fun to use but I must consider my students if they can afford it or
not.
