CARES is teacher empowerment

MANILA, Philippines - The Computer-Aided Resources for Educators and Students or CARES program is a parallel program of the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers in the USA. Teachers are trained on to make use technology in designing, implementing, and assessing learning experiences to engage students and improve learning while enriching professional practice.

In our present time, it’s an enormous challenge to excite the creativity of the students who have become accustomed to passive learning. Through intensified Teacher Empowerment training, teachers are given tools to promote, support and model creative and innovative thinking by helping students solve authentic real world problems using digital tools and resources.

Teachers would be delighted that there are portable digital tools that would aid their classes any time, any day. These are called science-box, a science laboratory inside a box. With this teaching tool, they can explain temperature, renewable energy, and much more.

Most of the language learning solutions now have a built-in speech laboratory and guided writing laboratory. With a lot of intercultural model texts, videos and audio, students get well rounded experience in learning the language that in use to give them fright. Learning the language with the use of a digital solution will allow more repetition and privacy for the learner. Computers will never get tired of and will not laugh listening to the students’ tireless charades of broken English grammar, mispronounced words and questionable intonation.

These are just samples of what digital resources that teachers could be using in their classrooms.
