OBSTACLES in IT to EDUCATION

Information Technology is one of the widely used when it comes to education Technology. Adaptation to new technologies is much better when it comes in the pedagogy of teaching. Most countries adopt to this because they are more effective and motivating. It gives also opportunities to students to acquire new skills, communication, problem solving and etc. With much concern to this technologies they have also advantage and disadvantages to human specially to learners. This advantages and disadvantages are depends upon to a person how they used the technologies.

In other countries specially when it comes to Education ,Information Technologies are being adopt. Why? It is because in learning through this technologies it is much easier. Here in Philippines we also used technologies to education but it is not easier for me because there are obstacles also in IT when it comes to Education. What are those?

Obstacles in IT in Education are as follows:

1. Insufficient numbers of computers
2. Lack of knowledge and training
3. Difficult to integrate instruction
4. Not enough training opportunities.
5. Poor quality of website materials
6. Difficult used of low achieving students.

For me, they are the some obstacle with regards to It in education. Why? As we all know that teachers play the crucial role in the adoption and integration of IT in Education so, therefore they are most major obstacle when it comes to Education. Lack of knowledge and further training of the teacher is the major obstacle in It to education. Knowledge to technologies is the very important factor. As what I have observe today in our society some students are more IT-literate than their teacher and some teacher also may see this as a challenge to their traditional role of being more knowledgeable expert in the classroom. Not only that one factor also is the inadequate English language competence of the teacher.

For me in order to achieve the satisfied IT in Education and to give remedies also to the increasing problems the Department of Education must give trainings to teachers on how to make use computers in their day-to-day teaching activities. With this, teachers will be able to increase their knowledge and be more informed to the rapid increasing technologies used specially in teaching.
