In previous years I have observed that most of the oldies were hesitant to the extent of completely disregarding to accept technology. Sometimes we would hear their remarks, 'kayo na lang mag-aral nyan, matanda na kami.' But that is not the case today. You would have probably observed some old people with their eyeglasses and holding cellular phone, texting. Computer shops are not already dominated by youngster, but also some old people surfing the net, chatting, and even updating their status in some social networking sites. You would have probably encountered some techie oldies with ipad, ipod, iphone, or laptop somewhere.
Whether we like it or like, as others say, SOCIAL MEDIA has a great role in today's classroom. From the traditional way, our learning environment has already shifted to another level.
Here's an interesting statistics from schools.com about what I'm saying...
