Computer education is Imperative to teaching profession because your knowledge in computer helps you more in all the paper works that teachers do in year round. It can make your work become easier, for example in making test paper, power point presentation for your daily lesson, having a nice and accurate example to your topic, catching the attention of your pupils and doing all the reports needed by the Dep-Ed that you need to provide. It is very important in every teacher having knowledge in computer, attending the computer program helps one individual to become aware on how to communicate well and find out the easiest way to teach their pupils in all subject area because they are now trained to proper uses of the computer system.
As a 21st century teachers, we are expected to be computer and internet literates. Computer literacy is prerequisite to internet literacy. If you know how to use the desktop computer or laptop you can explore the world wide web. You can download materials then can facilitate the teaching-learning process. You can also share your materials to others. It is also beneficial to join in particular groups in social networks specially to the group where you can learn a lot.
Yes, computer education is imperative to teachers because communication now is faster through chatting and emailing. Some urgent reports are sent as attachments. Access to Learning Resources Materials Development System ( LRMDS ) would be of great help to download soft copies of Teacher’s Guide, Learning Materials and even video clips. The EBEIS and LIS require us to accomplish reports online. The features of Google Drive facilitates the accomplish of rush reports. Lastly, the integration of multimedia in teaching and the use of links could give the children interesting and enjoyable learning experiences. If DepEd aims that child should be left behind there should also be no teachers left behind in terms of computer literacy.
