SUBJECT (What is the topic or situation to be dealt about?)

Bridging the Generation Gap is only a difference in attitudes between people of different generations.

EXPERIENCE (Share an experience that relates you to the subject)

I have this experience that our teacher in high school when I transferred, she said that we don’t have the
right to have a cellphone or use some gadgets because according to her we don’t have the work yet that
support our loads and etc. She discourages us to use computers for research and we began to think what we
are going to do. She usually preferred to use the traditional way of teaching without adapting the new
technology. It is really boring because she keep on talking in front and sometimes we cannot visualize what
she was talking about.

RESPONSE (What have you learn from such experience)

As we can observe, today is different from the past. We can see that there is really a generation gap. This
gap may include the way of teaching, the materials being used in instruction and how the teachers use this
instruction. Traditional schooling has hardly change even with the clear evidence of a digital world, but we
can’t deny the fact that there are some traditional things that is difficult to improve and it takes time
especially that when everybody is used it.

INTROSPECTION (Reflect on your response)

As future teachers, we need to bridge the generation gap and adapt the changes of Educational Technology
so that our student will not lose their appreciation in educational system. We need the students to engage in
technology so that they will not be left behind.

Teachers need not to stick on the traditional way of teaching because we are now in a modern technology
and the way of teaching from the past is really different. Teachers must bare in mind to always use
technology in teaching to enhance the learnings of the students, to make the class more lively and in return if
the class isn't boring, the student will listen instead of talking with their seat-mates or sleep.
FUTURE ACTION (Relate what will you do next as a learner, teacher or as individual)

Teachers must use technology in teaching lessons in order to help in bridging the gap of education and that
they must be willing to undergo trainings on how to use technology tools in education.
