Teachers urged to teach computer subjects properly

TABUK CITY, Kalinga -- In line with the Department of Education Internet Connectivity Program (DICP), school administrators and teachers in the province are asked to properly implement their computer class program as part of the curriculum.

Kalinga Schools Division Supervisor Marylinda Santos said to realize the project’s objective, there is a need for all teachers to be computer literate to ensure that their students could cope with the advancing methods in the learning process.

Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.

Teachers, old or new, who are in the frontline of the educational development must be receptive in learning even how to use the computer, she said.

Santos said computer class teachers have already undergone training but their acquired knowledge would not be improved if they do not apply it in their classes, and will become useless if not shared to their pupils and students.

Schools in the province, she said, are coping up with the digital trend considering that most public secondary schools are now equipped with enough computer units for at least one class.

Several elementary schools were also provided with computer units, with central schools required to have one laboratory class for their special science classes. Just recently, selected secondary and central schools were also provided LCD inter-active digital wide screen displays for their computer classes to facilitate the learning process. (Larry Lopez)
