Lesson 5: State-of-the-Art ET Application Practices

       Our educators today have become more aware and active in adopting state-of-the-art educational technology practices they can possibly adopt. Teachers as well as future teachers have a greater need for teachers to acquire not only computer literacy but as well as competence. 
    The audiovisual aids available to schools may not even apply anymore because the modern technologies render them as obsolete. Some software materials  before may not be compatible to more recent computer systems. 
 Due to rapid technology advancement, school administrators need to upgrade their technology every other five years or as early as possible. 
    Nowadays, it is already accepted that the contribution of the computer makes up for good instruction. Teachers need to improve their "computers- in-the-classroom" skills. We also need to develop the higher order thinking skills such as creative and critical thinking skills. We just have to use properly the state-of-the-art instruction with the use of IT. Let's focus on the positive aspects of educational technology.
