Abstract	This century is defined by technological advancements so rapid, many of the sectors of the society are not ready to adapt right away. Such is true for the education sector, especially in the Philippines. However, the seeming lack of action on issues concerning educational technology does not mean that educational institutions are not preparing for this snowball of educational technological changes. It must be emphasized that much preparation is required when adapting and adopting such innovations. This study aimed to begin planning stage of the enhancement of integration of technological advancements in classroom instruction in St. Paul College Pasig. Based on Parasumaran and Colby's (2001) Technology Readiness Index Model, the research evaluated around one hundred high school students' readiness based on the following technological beliefs: exposure to the features of the tablets and their optimism, discomfort, and insecurity on using tablets as a learning tool. Multiple regression analysis revealed that technological beliefs on reading experience and perception that the tablet is a better tool in making students learn affect significantly students' willingness to use tablets. As such, careful integration must be observed. It must still be emphasized that the tablet is just one of the tools that teachers can use in delivering lessons. As such, teachers must consider carefully the kind of materials, applications, and resources that will be used alongside the tablet. If educational institutions fail to fulfill the aforementioned significant technological beliefs, then the use of tablets as a learning tool may end up in vain.
