A Global Citizen, a Global Teacher

By FretziePadolinaAlcantara (Article)
Date published: June 14, 2009
Date retrieved: October 10, 2013
Modern times paved us the way for different technological advances that prevent to be very helpful in
our everyday living. Different technological advances created a new trend to satisfy our thirst for
modernism and high-tech living. With these new trends, our educational system is also coinciding
with this making learning more advanced through the use of modern devices.
The most common (and I think the most important invention in the 20th century) is the computer.
During those times computers are only used for computing and storing data, but right now having a
computer and knowing how to use it is just as necessary as having to put a food on the plate for your
dinner! Computers proved to very helpful and useful for education that integration has been the topic
during seminars and workshops and how can we utilize it to help our students face the world
surrounded by modem technology.
It is true that technology has its plus and minuses. Others may also say that because of technological
advances, we are all teaching our children to become lazy and just depend on the computer. Yet let us
accept the fact that time has changed, our times are evolving and we could no longer apply what we
have learned in the previous years to the generation of today. We should go with the flow. We just
have to know our limitations in using these modern technologies. These are made to make our life
easier and comfortable. We are human beings ad we are given the mind so we can manipulate things
accordingly.
Moreover, because of these trends in teaching, we also allow ourselves to grow. We are no longer
stagnant to the traditional methods. We are now more open to new ideas that would not just increase
our students learning but also ourselves. As we open ourselves to new fad, we can no longer feel
outcast… we are part of the modern world and we are now all ready to face a more challenging role
and that is to become the teacher of tomorrow’s youth. Why would we keep ourselves inside a nutshell
when we can explore the world? The world is at our advantage, the world is waiting for us.
Furthermore being inclined with these technological advances, we must also know our responsibilities.
It is not every time that we have to let our students tinker the computer and we would just sit back
and relaxes knowing that that the World Wide Web or www can provide the much needed information.
We could not just do that. We are not teaching them anymore. We are feeding them with information
that is not anymore filtered if they teach moral or ethical values.
58
FS-6 On Becoming a Teacher
EPISODE 4

Modern devices such as computers are only a tool for learning. It is not the one who will teach us. It is
still far more different than having a teacher in front who could explain the information being fed to
these young minds. We just have to remember that the best computer in the world in our minds. We,
the teachers, don’t just fed information nor just teach these children the basics of addition and
subtraction or the proper use of grammar, we also touch their lives, we become a part of them, a part
of their lives that could not just be erases or deleted by just a click away. We remain in their hearts
forever.
Given these facts, we are now more than ready to call ourselves not just modern teachers but GLOBAL
TEACHERS. Because global teachers do not just use modern ways of teaching or utilize modern devices
for improved learning, but also has a heart… a heart that tenderly cares for every individual and a hand
that gently holds every learner’s mind to be a great contribution to the world. A student who is not
just a product of modern world but can also be considered a GLOBAL CITIZEN OF THE WORLD.

 Your Reflection

 Write a song about your insights as to the knowledge, skills and values that make up a
global teacher. Create your own tune.

Title of our song:

Global Teacher Life-Line

TITLE: Filipino: A Globally Competitive Teacher (portrays a teacher pic)
Its message:
The clip art portrays a teacher, a Filipino one, as it clearly showed from what the illustration of
the country’s map, who wherever may be placed or whatever situation he/she will face, may it would
be in his own land or even abroad, to foreign countries and all around the globe, can be an effective
educator, giving his students not only the basic knowledge and skills but important values and
compassion as well. This he does and attains with the aid of modern technologies and advancements
which enable him to become an effective and a globally competitive teacher.
In this modern era, one should be well-equipped with the knowledge and skills in the modern
technologies. Much more with being a teacher if a teacher has a good understanding of how these
advanced technologies work, he/she can apply it to teaching, resulting to a better understanding of
the students and providing them insights and opportunities to improve their lives through the use and
application of these technologies.
