I have interviewed Mrs. Maria Lucy Cabillas, a great teacher teaching Grade 4 Section I at Igpit Elementary School for 29 years. Throughout the interview I was really just quiet listening and admiring her to all she had shared to especially her thoughts and experiences as a teacher. Wherein listening to her experiences being a teacher where she said how hard and a tiring job it is, where your patience is always being tested and how, you need to be ready always with many strategies for you in one classroom you have a diverse learners wherein many learn in differently and uniquely that is why you need be ready always on how to handle them and your strategies on how to teach them. Wherein then, in the back of my mind I thought many things and I had really many questions like Im I really fi to a teacher ? or Can I really be one? and many more. I know she had sense it in me that why she said to me pero gang, kabalo ka miskan unsa ka lisod ug ka kapoy ang mahimung teacher.lahi ra juhd.lahi ra ang fulfillment na imng ma feel especially makita nmu sila nga na nakuha nila imng lesson and naka.sabot sila and also kanang bitaw at the end of the day ignan kag Bye Maam!! With high spirit and a smile pa juhd chada, bsta lahi ra juhd ang feeling which really strike me the most. Personally, I feel really thankful with this interview with a teacher for it opened my eyes to what my future would be and that is to be a teacher. I have learned and reflect many things throughout the talk with maam maria which I really love and being grateful with this interview. And now I am challenge on what the future would bring me as a teacher and with that time comes I would be ready.Answers to Questions:1. Will ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) make a difference in teacher learning process? How?- Of course, definitely. Todays technologies have great impact in todays education. Todays technology is very important and relevant for todays generation students are more visual learners especially my students who are grade four wherein we all know that kids only have small attention span so as a teacher you really need to have a strategy in getting their attentions which is one is by having some examples of pictures or videos cause you know kids not only kids but also your generation is really imaginative. Technologies can be also helpful in supplement the lesson. Though there is some adverse effect or negative disadvantages of todays technology but if use properly it really has a big help to everyone especially in education.2. How can teachers effectively use computers and the internet in the classroom?- Ah, as what I have said earlier many students today are visual learners that is why through computers and the internet you can let them see pictures and also videos which I myself use in my grade 4 pupils and another is to supplement the lesson this because in the internet there are so many games which are related to the lesson that my pupils can play which is really a great help for as a teacher to assess if my students did really understand the lesson and to see those who still have a hard time.
