DIGI RISE
ducational Innovation in the Philippines: DepEd’s Digital Rise Program
The Digital Rise Program integrates ICT in teaching by providing online platforms, gadgets, and teacher training. It allows students to access learning resources anytime and equips them with digital literacy skills.
This innovation is transformative because it:
Redefines learning beyond the classroom.
Empowers both teachers and students to use technology in education.
Helps bridge gaps between urban and rural learners.
Prepares Filipino students for a technology-driven society.
It's true that many students today are digital natives, meaning they've grown up surrounded by and intuitively interacting with technology. They can often navigate new apps, platforms, and devices faster than their teachers. This can make teachers feel outpaced and less relevant in a tech-driven world. However, this proficiency is often superficial. Students might know how to use an app, but they may lack the deeper skills to use it for academic purposes, like conducting credible research, citing sources, or critically evaluating online information.
