This just shows that these teachers find this school appropriate for their credentials as a teacher. It is also very clear that not all teachers have served this school since the very beginning of their teaching career. Some of them may consider this school as their second institution of teaching and some may even be their third or fourth.
Presence of Technology at Vista High School
The teacher-respondents are one in saying that they have seen good number of technologies present at school. Having seen much number of technologies in the school means that the teachers are aware of the updated technologies a school institution must have. This also shows that the teachers are already familiar with the different technologies and that they are aware of the advantages and/or benefits the technologies provide to the school, to the students and to the teachers themselves.
Unfortunately, this paper was not able to delve deeper as to what kind of technologies do these teachers have been or used inside the school. Such information could have been useful in assessing the level of knowledge of the teachers in the use of various technologies.
Use of Technology in the Classrooms
When asked if the teachers have used more technology in their classrooms than in the past, majority of the teachers gave positive responses. This shows that majority of the teachers and the students have been using various technologies inside the classroom. However, there are also a few numbers of teachers-respondents who stated that they have no or have not been using a lot of technology inside the classroom.
There can be two valid assumptions as the different response given by the teachers. First, it can be assumed that there are teachers who have been teaching several subjects that are not technology related such as English or history subjects. Teachers who may have been teaching such subjects may not need any technology present inside the classroom, hence the negative response. Secondly, it is also safe to assume that the use of technology is just limited to higher level of students like the second to fourth year students. If this is the situation, first year teachers may not be requiring any technology inside the classroom to give more focus on the theoretical aspects of educational curriculum. What is good is the fact that only a few number of teachers responded that they have not been using technology inside the classroom, hence more teachers and equally more number of students have already been using technology inside the classroom.
Vista High School's Effective Use of Technology
Majority of the teachers responded negatively regarding the effective use of technology at Vista High School. One the noted reasons for such negative responses are the fact that although there technologies present inside most of the classrooms, the said technologies are not enough for the number of students who are supposed to be using them. This then implies that there is lacking amount of technology that will correspond to the teaching requirements. In the same manner, the amount of technology present in the classrooms is not enough to accommodate the students much more to teach them regarding technology use.
Another noted reason for the negative response lies on the fact that only the laboratory, or the computer classroom, contains ample number of computers, which is one of the most updated technologies that a school institution must have. This is worsen with the fact that computer class is considered as an elective only, hence the students have the option to take the subject or not and that they are not evaluated in such subject. This then limits the level of knowledge and skills that can be imparted to the students in terms of technology use.
Third reason why teachers find that Vista High School as not effective in facilitating the use of technology is the lack of updated software, programs and Internet connection for the computers. This implies that even if there are classrooms with some computers, not all of the computers have Internet connections or is updated with the current programs and software that can be used to teach the students. In today's world, computers need to be updated from time to time because the software and programs are always upgraded to suit the ever changing needs of the users. Likewise, the use of Internet has also been found to b very effective in providing valuable information for the teachers and the students. Without any initiative to upgrade the computer systems and access to Internet, teachers will really find it ineffective to use and teach...
difficult, in retrospect, to point to an instance where I was ahead of everyone else, but I have been able to solve problems. I remember I was in need of a career change.

Under these circumstances, an ethical dilemma is born. Should society control its development or leave it to chance? And in the case that it should control it, which categories should it help? If the person in the above mentioned example is helped, we could assume that in a certain way, the person who was not helped because he or she already disposed of the necessary means, the latter one might
