Reflection # 1 : Do kids Learn more without computer.

            Children now a days is different in many ways not just in the way they dress, eat, talk and many more.  Most of all different in a way they study their lessons and search for their assignment.  Most of the children today are digital native student who have grown up in digital age. They assimilate digital tools and methods of communication easily. They easy learn using the computer; their rooms are filled with people, relationships, interactions and adventures that come through their computers. Even they are alone at home boredom is not in their vocabulary. They just surfing internet, chatting with friends, watching video, listen to the music and playing games via online. Digital native students are comfortable to learn using technology, they doesn’t have patience to look the answer in different textbook. They just want to open the internet and Google it, it’s easy and less time, effort are exerted but how do they process the knowledge is not the same in the “Past Generations”.  Past Generation read it well to understand and of course if you’re reading it again and again the greater the retention will be. I also love technology because it can really help me to search everything I need instantly, I don’t need to go in National Library but I’m not totally digital native. I just have my gadgets last year but few months had passed I’m weary using it because I feel bored surfing internet every day. Digital native student is very different they just love facing the computer rather than the books while they are facing the computer they also become lazy in house hold chores and many things. That’s why even they love and enjoy surfing net they also need their parents side by side to guide them, explain the disadvantages of using the technology and lastly its limitation.

It's all about me . :)

   It's me Lorielin M. Lanot, 19 years of existence. Coming from a not so rich and not so poor family but being here in this status of life is the reason why I'am here studying hard to reach my goal. I'm just a simple lady,living a simple life. My parent are the person who taught me how to grow as simple but happy lady by simply believing that " Simplicity is Beauty". Well I grew up having a happy life though it is really quite difficult. During my 19 years of living I witnessed how narrow the road you have to take when it comes to living life.You need to be brave to face all the challenges and hindrances to reach your dream. I have 5 siblings and it's not easy for my parents to raise us and give us a comfortable living. I really love my family even though they can't be there for me all the time but that's life I need to be independent because not all the time their will always be there for me.
        My parents, They are not perfect but honestly I'm very much thankful for having them though they can't give all what I want. The important thing is that they are very supportive most especially my father. My mother is just a plain house wife and my father is a buy and sell of car, second hand or scrap. For me I have my perfect Father ever. If I will have second life I will still choose Him as my father. He is the best for me.I could not ask for more I just want to finish my studies and to be a successful teacher someday. Being a teacher is the first choice I want to be since I'am in grade school. I always admired those teachers who have passion to teach. They really make the future of the students just like me I was influence by my favorite teacher in High school. Who have the innate love for children, She makes me feel important and needed. She is now principal and she told me that if I passed the LET, I'll just text her to recommend in Division Office. I'm so very very inspired because of Her.

      I love to go in SM. Buying shoes, shoes and shoes because I really love wedge shoes and of course dresses. If I'll be rich someday I want to have my own mall where I can easily get the latest shoes ever but now I'm focusing in my studies to be a teacher someday. I don't want my parents to be disappointed with me because they are doing lots of sacrifices just to support my financial needs. I don't want to be like my Sister who always change her course not even finishing it. She is now staying at home contented. I want something new in my life because I have lots of places I want to visit. Like Paris and to be able to go there I need to have money.  In this unfair world I just need to be Faithful in HIM, Believe in God that everything has it's own time. God has his best plan for us even the situation now is not that good. Just trust HIM like I do.
