Computer as a Tutor
There are a lot things you can research in the computer. Where you can find things that can answer your questions and can thought you things that you wanted to know. Simply, it explains that by the access of the internet, you can now use the computer as tutor. But we should always remember that computers don't totally replaces the teacher. Teachers are the one plays a major role in delivering information to students. In the future, maybe computers will become an integral part or component o the future classroom and not just a machine that can deliver routine drills and exercises.
Computers as Information and Communication Technology
Computers have already changed the way we work, be it any profession. Therefore, it is only natural that the role of computers in education has been given a lot of importance in recent years. Computers play a vital role in every field and by the use of instructional materials it can enhance and enrich the teaching-learning process.
There are many programs that are normally installed in an ordinary modern PC. Such as Microsoft Office, Power-point, excel, Internet explorer, Yahoo or Google, Adobe Reader, MSN, Windows Media Player, Cyberlink Power and Game House. These programs are helpful in both students and the teachers. Students find it easier to refer to the Internet than searching for information in books.

IT For Higher Skills and Creativity
THE UPGRADED PROJECT METHOD
According to Paz I. Lucido, Ph.D., upgraded project method consists in having the students work on projects with depth, complexity, duration and relevance to the real world. This makes the students work and make decisions about what to put into the project, on how to organize the information, how to package the outcomes for presentation, and the like.
Through this method, some students would think negatively about it. Some students would think that the teacher is not a good teacher, for she/he will just let the students do all the work and will not give them the exact ideas on how to make the project.

LESSON#6 IT Enters a New Learning Environment
Read the following scenario:
Marjun is a 3 year old boy is fascinated by the color red fire in the candle. They don't have electricity that time that's why they are using candles to have light in the night. Her mother told him not to touch the fire coming from the candle. But instead of following what his mother told him, he finally touch the fire. His efforts earn him a burned finger and some valuable
knowledge. "Never touch the fire."
This scenario just shows us an example of Discovery Learning. Where the child was told by his mother only "Never touch the fire" but still he didn't listen and get his finger burnt. Because of his actions, Marjun now know that touching the fire can burn his skin and would hurt him.
If the mother told her child not to touch the fire because it will hurt him maybe Marjun would actually won't touch the fire. This would show of Reception Learning. Marjun is just a 3 years old child and don't have any knowledge yet about the effect of heat in our body. The mother would be the one who will guide her child with proper and pure verbal instruction so that her child would understand further the reason why we should not touch the fire.
Therefore:
Discovery learning is usually not taught by the teachers but are learned through everyday experiences while reception learning requires guidance with pure instruction in order for the learner to learn more about a certain matter.
