Based on the discussion with my classmate, we pointed several similarities about the
three concepts that we chose to discuss with each other. For digital learning, we both view this
concept to be highly essential in the teaching and learning process nowadays. In times of
pandemic everybody was mentally and socially challenge, however, with the emergence of
digital learning we still manage to continue and fill in the gaps needed for learning such as
utilizing technology-assisted tools like Google classrooms. On the other hand, digital literacy, we
view this concept as beneficial especially during the 21st century where technologies are
drastically advancing, we also need literate individuals for more effective teaching-learning
processes. Lastly, we also discussed the concept about productivity tools, we realize that as we
practice online learning nowadays, productivity tools are extremely beneficial to instructors in
order to improve their knowledge and stimulate creativity. These tools assist instructors in being
inventive and producing high-quality results. Teachers may create an engaging environment and
students will be encouraged to develop long-term skills.
