As educational tools, digital and social

media are not replacements to the

traditional forms but rather are

additional outlets and tools in literacy

and other forms of human

improvement.

In terms of ACCESS, only 3 out of 10

Filipinos have internet connection and

only 52% of those with access have

speedy connection. Most of the youth

also access the internet in cafes, thus

vulnerable to misguidance and sheer

peer influence.

NOT ONLY TO USE DIGITAL AND

SOCIAL MEDIA TO TEACH, BUT

TO USE DIGITAL AND SOCIAL

MEDIA FOR ADVOCACY.

The beauty about being a teacher in

the age of digital and social media is

that regardless of the subject you are

teaching, you can forward the cause of

molding not only intelligent youth but

youth who use their intelligence in

service of others.

Digital and social media are tools

brought about by change, innovated by

change, and can be catalysts of

change.
