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.
