reflection lesson 3(Educational Technology in the Asia Pacific region)


Educational Technology in the Asia Pacific Region
            To provide confidence to educators that they are taking the right steps in adopting technology in education, it is good to know that during last few years, progressive countries in the Asia Pacific region have formulated state policies and strategies to infuse technology in schools. In five progressive state/city, namely New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong has different strategies for ICT policies for their schools, like New Zealand they use the ICT to support their curriculum; Australia focused on the IT initiative.
            Without computer and internet connection does not mean that you can’t attain what you want to be, for it is not the hindrance in pursuing the goal of every individual. Students, who belong to the unprogressive place like us, still learned how to use the computer in doing the school requirements. During our IT21 class there are 3 students who would share to use the 1 computer and it does not have an internet connection and it is full of virus, but still our teacher manage as well that everyone of us can learn how to use the computer.
            The students who belonged to the progressive state/city are very lucky because they will not bother to go the internet café and do the surfing for the school requirements, for their government is the one who provided their needs. They are more advanced about the new information and it is easy for them to do their study requirements because they can just simply surf it in through the internet to gather more information.
            In our present generation the presence of the computer and internet connection is very important not only in school but also in office or home. Even if the computer is not enough for the number of the students the teacher should know how to manage them, so that all of the students should be able to learn what is intended to be taught.
