= Philosophy on the Integration of Technology in Education = "If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn"- Ignacio Estrada. According to the Oxford Languages education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially in schools or universities. On the other-hand technology is the use of scientific knowledge for practical purpose and for solving problems. Traditionally teachers use 'book and pencil' teaching, but overtime technology has evolved and has created a multiplicity of ways to teach and learn, hence why my belief of teaching the way children learn.

From as early as of months old children are placed in front a technological device to watch nursery rhymes, learn their alphabets, colors, and numbers, therefore a teacher just simply standing in front of them talking and using chalk and board will not grasp their attention or promote retention. In this 21st century children are more diverse with technology more than even their educators so incorporating it in the teaching and learning process will make it much easier.

Children being more inclined to their technological devices are no longer fascinated by outdoor games, book and pencil learning because they are used to a different way of receiving and retrieving information which is through technology. As educators we must first analyze our students and then teach according to their abilities and style of learning, then make it exciting by including something that will grasp their attention (technology integration). This will ensure that learning is at its maximum because they are doing something that they love.

Educators just keep yourself abreast and move with the time. Allow your students to learn in the way they feel comfortable, guide them during the process and watch them blossom into their full potential.
