Age doesn't matter

I am too old for that.

I often hear this from teachers who get invited to trainings and workshop about new learning and teaching methods using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools.

That is not the case of Belen Alcazar Bahia, a teacher from Kapitolyo High School, Pasig City. Having grandchildren already reflects her age, but that age cannot stop her from learning and having fun with ICT.

Commission on Information and Communications Technology thru its iSchools project holds a ten-day Camp Blog in Pampanga Agricultural College that aims to build the capability of teachers with the use of ICT for teaching and learning in May 18 – 28, 2009.

Mrs. Bahia is fondly called Mamita by all participants. She shares her experience here in Camp Blog Pampanga. Check out what Mamita has to say on her first time encounter with blogging.

No regrets

“I was hesitant because although I heard about blog so many times but I don’t know how to do it”. These are the exact words from a participant of Camp Blog in Pampanga Agricultural College today.

Mary Flor Labitad Datangel is a high school teacher from Impasugong National High School, Impasugong, Bukidnon. For twelve years now, she has been handling MAPEH III and IV and also the Department Chairman in the MAPEH Department She is the adviser of the Olympus Club and the Athletic Coordinator of their school. Sometimes, she teach Computer class. Having the knowledge on computers is her ticket to her being chosen as a participant for Camp Blog.

Although hesitant to attend, she has no choice because it is the “order from the principal.” Today is her sixth day in Camp blog. She learned the basics on blogging and online search. When asked how she is doing, she answered with a smile, “No regrets.”
