Model Division for ICT Training for Teachers - Davao City
RP should invest in IT education of Filipino teachers
“Teachers play a crucial role in preparing students to live in the ‘Net Generation,” he said.
“More than salaries, what brings out the best in teachers are improving conditions and support for teachers, teacher training and professional development,” Wong said.
Education Secretary Jesli Lapus, for his part, disclosed that the Department of Education’s five-year Information Communication Technology for Education project with a five-year program is nearly finished.
The project aims to link the learners, including the mentors, to global resources through the use of multimedia instructional materials development, among others.
It will also completely integrate ICT into the curriculum, intensify competency-based professional development programs, establish necessary ICT infrastructure and develop processes and systems for governance and management, Lapus said.
In 2008, Lapus said the DepEd will adopt an ICT Competency Standard for Teachers and will develop a comprehensive professional development program that will be built on existing in-service training initiatives.

Why teachers still used traditional method of teaching
However, even if teachers are given the chance to undergo training on the use of ICT, their new skills will remain unused unless their schools are being provided with the necessary resources.
She said ICT in the classroom may include the use of cassette, TV, radio, slideshows, CDs, mobile phones and speech lab.
The speaker did is not aware of another factors affecting method of teaching. Integrating ICT takes time to prepare which will become added burden to the teacher with 80 students and 8 teaching loads.

GSIS to public school teachers where is your records?
THIS WAS the message delivered by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) to a group of public school teachers who has continuously questioned the pension fund on its service records (SR) project with the Department of Education (DepEd), as well as demanded "a refund" of their premiums paid by DepEd for its arrearages with the GSIS.
GSIS chief legal counsel Atty. Estrella Elamparo said the SR updating with DepEd has been going on for three years now and, under this project, the teachers just need to verify these records and submit these to their supervisors at DepEd, which will then submit the same to the GSIS for posting.

667 Million DepEd Budget not properly used
Citing the 2007 audit report of the Commission on Audit (CoA), the CPBD said a huge portion of the P139.4-billion budget of DepEd for 2007 went to waste because of "inefficient allocation."
In its "Agency Budget Notes" report for this month, the CPBD disclosed that "information and multi-media equipment packages costing at least P667.95 million were neither utilized nor maximized for classroom instructions in 13 regions."
This report in no longer usual and it happen every year. I know it will happen again next year. Why? It is simply the DepEd as well as government agency is a mirror of our national government. It is already a culture that even a here can not repair anymore. In the next 100 years maybe, time can tell.

Conclusion on ICT capabilities of School year 2001
At the national level, a little more than half of all elementary and secondary schools in
the country (66.07%) is ready for ICT if the main criterion is electrical connection, this
being a primary indicator for ICT-readiness. However, a very small number of schools
(only 4,866 or 13.30%) have access to the Internet and enjoy the many benefits that
this facility can provide especially for education. At the time of this survey, only 726
schools have Internet access. This constitutes barely 15% of the number of schools
with access to communication facilities, and a mere 3% of schools with electricity.
If schools in the country are asked to shift from their traditional and conventional
“chalk and talk” style of teaching to the more ICT- and multimedia-based teaching,
then only a handful would be able to do so. This is because, based on this survey, not
even half of all schools own a radio cassette as only 42.22% indicated that they have
such an equipment in their school. A little more than one-fourth (26.80%) of all schools
have television sets to be able to access educational programs in TV and still even less
have VHS players (17.19%) and VCD players (3.67%) to benefit from the many
educational materials now becoming more available in the market in the mentioned
format.
The benefits that a computer and access to Internet can provide can only be
enjoyed by 5,217 or 14.28% schools in the country, and by 726 or 13.92% of schools
with computers, respectively.
There are many indications that school heads and school staff are trying to equip
themselves with the skills necessary for them to cope with the changing demands in
education. This is particularly true in two regions (Region IV and NCR) where results
show that there are more schools with staff proficient in computer use, than there are
schools with computers.
Such is the condition of our elementary and secondary schools in the country today in
terms of ICT readiness. Thus, a lot more resources need to be poured in if in the near
future the use of ICT in education is to become a national policy in education.
Survey of schools with computer in NCR
and 95% of private schools), and almost all schools have continuous electricity supply
(98.5% of publics schools and 98.3% of private schools).
A considerable number of schools confirmed they already have computer literacy classes:
194 public schools and 240 private schools — but they comprise only a partial number
of the schools with computers (38.1% of public and 84.5% of private) and even a
slightly smaller percentage of the total number of schools in the NCR (31.8% of total
public schools and 80.3% of total private schools).
The percentage for public schools could be higher, though, as seven out of every ten
public schools (71.1%) indicated they have teachers who are “computer-users” or
“computer proficient”. The percentage of private schools currently offering computer
classes aligns with the percentage of private schools that have computer-literate teachers
(84.9%).
The quality and level of computer literacy subjects are contingent on the computer
hardware the schools have. Most schools’ computers have only very basic hardware
configurations—86.4% of the 508 public schools and 95.1% of the 284 private schools
peripheral have printers. Less than half of these public schools (45.3%) have a CDROM
drive, less than a third (38.6%), and fewer have a scanner (14.6%) or modem
(14.2%). Private schools register higher incidences of multimedia devices, which indicate
that they are in a better position to use multimedia applications for teaching and learning.
Limitations in the computer literacy subjects offered by most schools are also pointed
out by the few schools that have Internet access: only 32 public schools (16.5% of
public schools with computer subjects) and 40 private schools (16.7% of private schools
with computer subjects) have Internet access (mostly using dial-up connections).
The outlook for the integration of ICT in education in the NCR is more positive than
it is for the other regions. Most public schools have computers and computer-literate
teachers, and can readily begin to devise strategies to use ICT in their teaching methods.
The fact that most schools currently have landline telephones (90.7% of public and
94.3% of private), coupled with the high number of Internet Serve Providers in NCR,
is an indicator that Internet access is readily available to schools in NCR, provided that
they have the financial capability to afford and sustain their Internet connection.
New Planet named before Philippine School Teacher
BUTUAN CITY (31 March) — “I am proud to be a Filipino, and since I defeated 4,000 other teachers from around the world including the American finalists in their hometown, I can say that Filipinos are really one of the bests”.
This is what Dr. Josette Biyo said, the first Asian teacher to win the Intel Excellence in Teaching Award in an international competition held in United States in 2002, during the 34th Commencement Exercises of Saint Joseph Institute of Technology (SJIT) which was held recently here, where she was invited to speak in front of 462 graduates.
According to Dr. Biyo, the international recognition she received is only an instrument to give inspiration to the heart and life of the Filipinos especially the teachers, whose dedication and commitment to work is incomparable and one of a kind.
Because of that international award she received, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Lincoln Laboratory, USA, recently discovered and named a minor planet in her honor - Planet Biyo, a small red planet rotating around the sun and located between Mars and Jupiter.
Dr. Biyo finished her degree in Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of the Philippines hoping to become a medical doctor but because of poverty, she ended up teaching.

Tips on motivating student
2. Give him additional task after the classes. The task should be unusual to the student so it will not serve as ordinary teacher's favor. Asking student to check test paper involve great trust to the student. The pupils will directly feel the trust of the teachers. Give this technique right at the moment the student get a good score in quiz. Rotate the task to others to bring more motivation.
3. Show to the student some respect by asking their opinion in matured problem. It means the problem should not be included in the lesson. It might be political, social or environmental. This question will motivate the student to think of the future. Make sure the level of question is enough for him/her to answer or produce answer in the future.
4. Be watchful on student specific development. Once you see some, let them speak with you on they did the task or let them speaks before the class.
5. Avoid creating intense competition among students. Competition produces anxiety, which can interfere with learning. Reduce students' tendencies to compare themselves to one another
6. Find student interest and once you have it, exhaust more effort to bring the new task to satisfactory level.
7. Vary your teaching methods periodically. Device something at least 2x in a week.
Dear teachers, you might add or correct the following...
How can you tell if the teacher is good?
2. You can see their intelligent in the outputs of his/ her students.
3. The have scholastic records.
4. They are hungry of learning. They learn from, books, environment and students as well.
5. They can tell who are bright, performing and not improving students.
6. They have portfolio.
7. They have awards and achievement.
8. They are respected and recognized by the present and past student.
9. Student always come back to them for advise.
10. They are always in a hurry and wanted to finish all the lesson everyday as it seems there is no more tomorrow.
dear teachers, what do you think is the quality of a good teachers..

Pinoy Teacher sa Saudi
Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas noong nilisan ko ang ating bayan. Bagama’t taon-taon din naman kami ng aking pamilyang umuuwi para magbakasyon. Noong una mahirap sa maraming kadahilanan. Ngunit habang tumatakbo ang panahon ay tila ba nagiging gawi na rin at nakasanayan. Salamat sa Diyos at isa ako sa mga mapalad dahil sa sandaling panahon lamang ay muli kong nakasama ang mga pinakamamahal ko sa buhay.
Paano mamuhay ang isang guro sa disyerto? Mahirap bang magturo ng wikang Ingles sa mga Saudis? Sana masiyahan kayo sa kwento ko at nawa’y makapulot kayo ng aral sa mga magaganda at ilang ‘di kanais-nais na karanasan ko rito sa Saudi Arabia.
Ang Jubail ay hindi kalumaang syudad sa bandang silangan ng Saudi. Bagamat syudad sya ay kitang-kita mo pa rin ang malaking bahagi ng disyerto rito. Meron din namang mga kabahayan, gusali at iba't ibang establisyamento o estruktura. Ngunit kitang-kita mo pa rin ang malabuhanging kapaligiran dito, konti ang tao at karamihan ay mga expats na ginagampanan ang mahihirap at mabibigat na trabaho.

The bills propose that all public school teachers, locally-funded teachers, Philippine Science High School system teaching and non-teaching personnel and non-teaching personnel of the Department of Education (DepEd) with a salary grade level lower than 30 be entitled to the increase.
In latest development, the government announced last May that the salary increase for Government employees will increase by 1500 starting school year 2009-2010. However there are log of complain from teachers that the increase is still not release due to budget problem from DBM.

3rd National ICT in Basic Education Congress
Educators and information communication technology policy makers will converge this September in Cebu City for the 3rd National ICT in Basic Education Congress. Their mission: to help prepare students and teachers in public schools all over the country for the challenges of technology-based learning.
Education Secretary Jesli Lapus said the multi-sectoral meeting will also be
attended by officials from different colleges and universities and members of
non-government organizations from September 10 to 12, 2008 at the Waterfront
Hotel. They will discuss issues that seek to integrate ICT in basic education, and
how this strategy will benefit public schools.
Ethelyn Taqued of Cordillera Regional Science High School has been teaching
for four years. After various stints in private schools, she was inspired to teach
science and technology in a far-flung public school in Cordillera. She believes
this 3rd ICT Congress – her first ICT in Education Congress – will “broaden my
ideas on ICT integration and is a welcome addition to my understanding of ICT
education.”
“I know I will learn from this congress, and share a part of what I know with other
participants,” said the 46 year old high school teacher. But above all, Taqued
wants to attend this congress as her way of giving back: “DepEd has invested
so much in ICT training for teachers. I want my students to survive in this highly
competitive world. What I will learn from this congress will enable me to
accomplish that,” she added.
DepEd Chief Jesli Lapus is a strong advocate of technology-enhanced
education. Under his watch, the department has pushed ICT as a tool to extend
the reach and quality of basic education.
Lapus is expected to unveil DepEd's 5-Year ICT4E Strategic Plan during the first
plenary session of the Congress. This will be followed by the presentation by
Assistant Secretary Jesus Mateo of the Department's ICT competency
standards for teachers. Also speaking at plenary are Dr. Philip Wong Siew Koon
of the National Institute of Education in Singapore, Dr. Jan Herrington of the
University of Woollongong in Australia and Prof. Patricia B. Arinto of UPOU.
Teachers like Taqued will surely bring home with them learning from the two
day-exchange of best practices, where forty-eight presentations and
demonstrations will be given at concurrent sessions along three main tracks: 1)
ICT integration into and across the elementary and secondary school curricula;
2) Teacher professional development and instructional support; and 3) Distance
education.
The Department of Education (DepEd), University of the Philippines-Open
University (UPOU), and the Foundation for Information Technology Education
and Development (FIT-ED) have been collaborating for a sustainable and
responsible integration of ICT in local education.
Guided by the theme “Teaching the Net Generation: Curriculum, Pedagogy, and
Challenge of 21st Century Learning,” this event is jointly organized by DepEd
and the University of the Philippines Open University, which is the country’s elearning
competency center.

DepED ask for 2Billion more - ICT Program
If granted, the funds will pay for their Information and Communications Technology for Education program (ICT4E).
“The P2 billion would not only include the ICT trainings for the teachers but also for the provision of computer laboratories in the secondary level schools,” said Education Secretary Jesli Lapus.
Through the ICT4E program, DepEd hopes to “globally link” students from the Philippines to other countries to create an international learning environment for all students.
Lapus hopes to increase the use of ICT in all public schools to link students to global resources, help them develop habits of self-learning and allow students to critically seek and analyze information.
“And this is the school of the future: it will allow students to connect with a student from somewhere else in the world and they can do research together,” Lapus told reporters.
While the ICT4E program is expected to start this year, once an allocation has been identified, the education department is in its final stages of the five-year ICT4E strategic plan.
“That amount (P2 billion) may not be realized in full,” Lapus admitted. “It is a new item, so there will have to be a lot of ‘selling’ involved.”
“And if we do not get it (the entire P2 billion), then we will have to realign,” added Lapus.
He also noted the efforts of local government units (LGUs) that have been taking an active part in DepEd’s ICT programs.
“There are some LGUs that are enlightened... some LGUs are putting up computer laboratories,” said Lapus.
As part of the ICT4E strategic plan, DepEd hopes to have all high schools in the county equipped with computer laboratories.
Nationwide, the education department has recorded a total of 44,300 schools, with 37,800 elementary schools and 6,500 high schools. A total of 3,919 high schools have already received computer labs and 700 schools are to follow. By 2009, an additional 2,000 high schools would have computer labs.

Recommend your student to get TESDA Training during summer
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2008 | LABOR AND WELFARE
Roxas City -- An estimated eight million jobless Filipinos have received the job skills training program of the government.
The figure is twice the number of beneficiaries of the training program in the previous 14 years.
This was revealed by President Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo during the opening of the first jobs fair for Muslim Filipinos last September 3 held at the Philippine Trade and Training Center (PTTC) in Pasay City.
She said that the government is spending for the training of more dressmakers, hair-dressers, welders, automotive or auto mechanics, cellphone repairers which are in big demand abroad.
Sponsored by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the Department of Education (DepEd), the jobs fair exclusively for Muslims was attended by graduates of the Arabic Language and Islamic Value Education (ALIVE) of the DepEd. (PIA)
Consumer education to be part of high school curriculum next year
This after a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on the integration of consumer education into public and private secondary teaching between the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Education (DepEd) was signed in October last year.
Seventeen consumer-related laws and the One Town, One Product (OTOP) program are identified to be included in the students' learning competencies in eight major subjects, namely, English, Mathematics, Science, Filipino, Araling Panlipunan, Technology, Livelihood Education, MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health), and Values Education.
The first phase of the project called Teachers' Exemplar Writeshop, was conducted last year in Baguio City. The writeshop was set for Master Teachers to create exemplars -compilation of detailed instructions, references, competencies, lesson plans - demonstrating how consumer welfare topics will be integrated and taught across the eight subjects.
The initial validation of the said exemplars formed part of the second phase.
In the third phase of the project, a thorough validation by a set of expert teacher-writers was done. These teacher-writers scholarly polished the said exemplars.
The teachers' exemplars are currently being refined further and being prepared for its packaging prior to the orientation/training opted for School Principals and Head Teachers this month. This will comprise the fourth phase of the project.
DTI 11 Assistant Regional Director Marizon S. Loreto said the integration of consumer education into the secondary curriculum will help DTI a lot in intensifying its campaign towards empowering consumers further.

A truly Pinoy Teacher - blogger
His latest posting is about lingo ng wika. These are some text that can be read in his blog
Lubos na naiiba ang nakaraang Biyernes sa aming paaralan. Sa unang pagkakataon, naisipan ng administrasyon na ipagdiwang ang buwan ng wika sa naiibang paraan. Nuong mga taong nakalipas, naalala ko pa na talagang nagmimistulang piyesta ang huling araw ng pagdiriwang at ang bawat silid aralan na napalalamutian ng mga banderitas, ay napupuno ng kung anu-anong pagkaing pilipino. Mayruon pang nagdadala ng isang buong lechon, umaapaw na pansit, manok, kaldereta, at kung anu-ano pa. Subalit tulad ng pagdiriwang namin ng pasko, sumusobra ang....
Siyempre Pinoy na pinoy and setting. Well he started blogging in the year 2004. If i am DepEd boss i will give him medal or any form of award for being to early in adopting technology. Well i started to create or design school sites when i joined deped but my blog is too late in compare to his.
Some post dated may 2004 are here..

1st day in the office
My new job is a little interesting. It's totaly different from what I've learned in school. Not only because I am a Fine Arts graduate and being in-charge of discipline to at least 600 students or so and the classroom management of 30 teachers is different but more so because I was a teacher's nightmare in elementary and high school. Well, not entirely true. I was also loved by some. The thing is, being an outstanding student, I was not.
Anyway, I was reading the cases of students placed under Strict Disciplinary and Disciplinary Probations knowing that they will be the first cases I will be looking at come opening day of classes, I was contemplating why these students were placed in such a predicament. I can only look back and think of the days I was still a student. (And that was a long long time ago.) What prompted me to do what I did that caused me too much trouble? I can only think of one basic answer: "Blame it on my youth." In other words, I didn't know any better. And yet, I know I cannot use this as an excuse to errant students. I am here to guide them. Teach them how to live in a world that is full of rules, follow a strict conduct of morals, ethics, etc... in other words, everything I rebelled in during my heyday. Ah, this is going to be a tight journey. All I can say to myself is "brace yourself, man. Hold on to the rails so that you don't get thrown out of the ship."

Pinay Teachers in Abroad - blog
The site is about ...
This blog is our class portal to communicate information about our class, to archive course materials, to publish the course curriculum, syllabus, class rules, lessons, homework assignments, rubrics, and presentations. Yes, there's no more reasons for my students not to review their lessons at home, everything is in this blog.
Parents love the transparency and the ability to access class materials in this blog. It's easy for parents to follow along as my students post their work. This holds true for their psychologists, social workers, general education teachers, and other special ed providers. This is another way for me to collaborate with the Multi-Disciplinary Team members of my students.
This class blog also serves as my students' e-portfolio. My students collect the work they want to consider highlighting and then publish those that represent their best work. They then reflect on their work as they share them to their parents and teachers for possitive comments and feedback. It's very easy for them to look back over their work and see the growth they've accomplished.
So if you are interested to read some Pinay teachers serving in USA or anywhere abroad.
