Technology: Man’s Best Friend
When I’m on my first year of teaching, the first subject that I taught was Science and Health. I still remember how hard it is for me to explain how the different systems of the body performed. Because of that encounter, I realized the important of having a laptop. That is why I asked my parents to bought one for me. When I got my laptop I was very happy because I am more confident that I can give the best learning that my pupils  need and also for me to strengthen my teaching abilities. By downloading videos on Youtube related to our topic, the pupils enjoyed watching and learning. That is one of the help of technology in my job.
 As a teacher I want to give my pupils the best learning that they need and to my employer the contentment of my service. Let me share with you some situation in my job that the technology helps me the most.
Before it is hard for me to compute the grades of my pupils, my fingers were aching in pressing the calculator. I also spend lots of time in computing it manually but when I learn how to use excel, how to compute the grades using it, it is easier. You just need to drag down the first computation for it to compute all the scores of your pupils. Now, I’ll just enter all the grades on the excel sheet and then their grades will automatically appears.
On my first teaching in public school my principal told me to used semi-detailed lesson plan for the whole day. I was thinking that time that if I will write it daily, it will consume most of my time and also energy. Of course I’m not lazy; I’ll just want to lessen my work. If there is a way to make it easier then let us choose that way. J So I asked her permission to print semi-detailed lesson plan. So every weekend I print my expected lesson plan for the whole week. So I can have more time in other activities.
Technology opens a lot of opportunity in my teaching career. It really makes me more productive as a teacher and as a person. It helps me to type test papers and other paper works in the school. It also helps me to download the requirements online. Technology is also a ladder for me to be blessings to the schools were I employed. In one of small schools in Cuyapo, the technology helps me to make their first school newsletter through the use of Microsoft Publisher. Technology also helps me to explore my talents, using moviemaker I directed a short movie that the pupils played when one private school celebrated their Anniversary. I know it is not perfect but I really felt happy when I saw the reaction of the pupils and also their parents that they saw their children acted on a short movie.
Technology also teaches me to search for more and to learn more. Technology opens a big gate for more opportunity, more development and productivity on our job also in our lives.It is really a big assistance for us and makes our work easier. Technology is man’s best friend.
