As the technological advancements ensnare the attention of the Filipino learners, the connection and relationship between the students and teachers contradictory — shrink.

            It was a rare issue since what is needed for a class to be successful is communication among themselves — especially the schoolers and pedagogue — who, in the first place are supposed to be a team during class hours.

            We cannot just turn down this matter unless; we find it as a joke. Many articles have flooded tackling this “interaction superfluity”, some were telling that it is the student or teacher who halt the tie which should be theirs. Honestly speaking, it’s because of the upgraded versions of gadgets being used by learners as well as the mentors. The truth, that no tie will be strengthened unless one of them started a conversation.

            Maybe yes or maybe not, motivations in teaching are of good help, which can improve the adrenalin of the schoolers and for a motivator to grab one’s attention. Secondly, banning of gadgets is one of the best resources in gathering the attention of the students. No phone…. Then there’s a focus of attention and roughly, it’s a great resort thus no one will ever dare to snob one’s presence.

            They find it boring when the mentor seldom talks so even though it’s a no chalk-talk era, a conversation might lift up the swelling boredom they feel.

            According to Readers Digest Asia, communication is a two way street, when someone speaks, you must listen. That was absolutely right though it still depends on you on how you will improve the connection between you and the students or vice versa. Don’t let technology ruin your barefooted connection with others. Have your tower built with an outfield of interaction and a lawn for education.

            Multimedia innovation is relatively not evil, however, it is the responsibility and discipline that really matter.
