IMPRESSIONS

IMPRESSIONS

According to Oxford dictionary, impression is an idea, a feeling or an opinion that you get about somebody/something, or that somebody/something gives you.

Here are some impressions from training participants of two iSchools Project training roll-out.

PC recycling training workshop is a 10-day lecture/hands-on recycling or reuse of computers or other electronics.

“It was indeed an experience of a lifetime to hold a crimping tool as well as the soldering tool.” – Maria Aurora M. Miguel – teacher from Baybay National High School

“I learned to never take for granted the rights of the software – basin mapreso, tagam.” It means if caught infringing intellectual property rights like unlicensed software, one could be put to prison thus regretting for the rest of his life. – Marife Calungsod - teacher from Baybay National High School

Computer and Internet Literacy Course is a 5-day training / workshop that aimed to give basic ICT literacy to teachers and students.

“We are so glad that we had a training like this because it enhanced our skills nd knowledge in terms of improving our strategies in teaching through the POWER OF MEDIA. It's really mean a lot !” - Teresa Miape – teacher from Lim-ao National High School, Kananga, Leyte

“The participants to this training are very fortunate because aside from the knowledge acquired we were provided with 2 snacks and 1 meal and t-shirt for free. We were very enthusiastic to learn particularly in making a presentation that we hardly noticed that its already late in the evening.” Armelita Polistico – principal of Waterloo National High School

These are just some of the many impressions that we received. Surely, the other implementing state universities and colleges of the iSchools Project more or less heard or received the same impressions. It is just apt to say that the iSchools project is able to bridge the digital divide. It might not be for all, but atleast, for some.
