Lesson 1: ICT Competency Standards for Philippine Pre-Service Teacher Education

I learned that having Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT) in our curriculum is significant because every future teacher teachers should possess/should be computer literate and as we are also part of 21^st century learners, we should know how to utilize the ICT resources to make good quality teaching-learning process. It can also make our work easier when it comes to making or printing out designs for classroom learning environment, facilitating a variety of effective assessment and evaluation strategies such as collecting and analyze data, interpreting the results, communicate findings and also in collaborating with colleagues to access information in support of professional learning. By the use of technology tools we can include images, videos, audio and readable texts in teaching and it would become more interesting especially for elementary grades.

I felt that maybe I should explore more about the ICT in order to familiarize and develop my skills in using computer and to become innovative and improve my teaching strategies.

I developed my communication, collaboration and research skills through the use of digital media and environment to communicate and work collaboratively to support individual learning and apply digital tools to gather information in order to contribute to the learning of everybody. And as digital citizen, we should possess ethical, and legal behavior, exemplified by the practice of safe, legal, and responsible use and gathering of information to avoid plagiarism.
