What Does It take to become an ICT Student

The “impact studies’ in focus include a variety of studies, large and small scale, national and European, and cover evaluations of ICT programmes, inspection reports, specific technology interventions, research reviews, European comparisons and case studies. The major focus of the report was to look at impact of ICT in schools on two main areas learning and learners and teachers and teaching. Further to this, it shows the barriers for effective ICT use as identified in the studies. The report likewise tackles the research methods used to reveal impact in the two areas of learning and teaching.
Based on the body of evidence the report then raises a couple of key questions to be addressed in the near future, such as: Is it sound policy to concentrate resources on ICT for those subjects and sectors where results are proven? or How can we tackle the growing divide between emature and e-immature schools?
In the final section recommendations are given to policy makers, schools and research and development. These recommendations emerged from extensive discussions with the ICT cluster members and other ICT in education experts and point to possible solutions and actions to be taken on Member State and European level. In an overview table, the report also lists the core review studies according to their scope, research methods and the specific areas of impact in the two areas of learning and teaching, such as students’ motivation and engagement, the personalization of learning or the emergence of new pedagogical practices. This can help policy makers to identify studies most relevant to their interest.

My Dream My Future

When you were a kid in school, do you remember a teacher doing a review before a test and saying something like, “Pay attention now, because this is going to be on the test”? I do. The encouraging teachers who wanted to see their students succeed said things like that all the time. They wanted us to be prepared so we could do well. They put us to the test, but they set us up for success.
My desire is to be like one of those encouraging teachers to you. I want to prepare you to put your dream to the test so you can actually achieve it. How? I believe that if you know the right questions to ask yourself, and if you can answer these questions in an affirmative way, you will have an excellent chance of being able to achieve your dreams. The more questions you can answer positively, the greater the likelihood of success!

Change: It Starts With Me

Iwould change the thought that helping others is good... all we do when we help others is allow weakness to survive and thrive... i hate how the government makes the strong and smart support those that are weak and dumb with their taxes, if they cannot support themselves they obviously do not belong in society.

Iwould also make it so that the stupid and weak cannot reproduce as it is in nature. if you'll notice rich,smart,successful people only have 1-4kids however if you go to poorer communities they are trying to pop them out as fast as they can, either because they think its gods commandment to procreate the earth or because they want the extra welfare money for there extra kid... really we need to stop being such a soft race. or we face imminent extinction.

Kannawidan The Ylocos Festival

 “Through this “Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, we are preserving and sustaining our old traditions, attractive products and practices as we are also promoting our tourism industry,” Savellano said.

According to Governor Luis Chavit Singson, the province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for the next generations. However, many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano cultures were not already familiar to the younger generations due to the influence of the television, computer and internet.

“But,  through  our Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, these traditions, customs and cultures are revived to become more entertaining to give more fun and attractions to the visiting tourists in the province,” Singson said.

“Through our Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, which is the official annual festival of the province our tourism industry was enhanced and helped boost the demand of our products, more job opportunities and livelihood opportunities were crated and more income for our people were generated,” he added.

The 2012 Kannawidan Ylocos Festival opened with a concelebrated mass held at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral followed by a procession of the patron saints of the 40 parishes including the images of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary around the province’s capital city in the afternoon of on January 29. .

Reverend Father Roque Reyes, who officiated the mass, said that the mass and the procession were the acts of thanksgiving to the God almighty for the blessings received by the province and the exhibition of the strong religious belief of the Ilocano families.

After the procession, a dinner for all was enjoined to all bystanders, tourists and visitors at Plaza Salcedo followed by fireworks display to signify the formal start of the different events of the weeklong festival.

On same night, the members of the Bayanihan Dance Company entertained the Ilocanos with their world class performance of the Beauty of the Philippines through dances, music and sounds. Their graceful movements and excellent rendition of songs and playing the indigenous musical instruments drew attractions from the crowd.

On the following day, a traditional opening ritual was performed by the students of the Ilocos Sur Special High School for Culture and the Arts in Suyo, Ilocos Sur. Vice Governor Savellano and the officials of the Department of Education Division of Ilocos Sur signified the start of the different contests for elementary and high school students. These include traditional tribal rituals, choir and glee club competition, marching band contest, traditional music ensemble, dance drama, traditional and folk dances, contemporary dance competition and street dancing showdown. These events aimed to encourage young Ilocanos to learn these indigenous songs and dances for sustainability and preservation.

Partuat ken Patanor Trade and Agri Fair also opened on the same day. Officials from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) headed by Thelma Dumpit Murillo graced the occasion.

The trade and agri fair displayed all products from the different towns of the Ilocos Sur and its nearby provinces. The annual “Pinaka Contest” was also held to give citations the local farmers’ extraordinary farm and fishery products and livestock.

New Year New Me

        Each one of us has its new years resolution. Maybe others do not ave because of the reason that they will not make it. Like me, i don't have any new years resolution. Because if its true that you are willing to change your bad attitudes or acts you are willing to do it even if its not new year right? That's why i just stay as it is.I don't care just what other people says.

Keeping In Mind Our Mother Tongue

The first language of a child is part of their personal, social and cultural identity. Another impact of the first language is that it brings about the reflection and learning of successful social patterns of acting and speaking. It is basically responsible for differentiating the linguistic competence of acting.

To a person his mother tongue is a “blessing in disguise”. It is not merely a time-table subject in his education but is forced upon him from all sides. It is learnt by both the direct or conscious and the indirect or unconscious method. The direct method supplements and regulates the knowledge gained by hearing. The mother tongue is an indispensable instrument for the development of the intellectual, moral and physical aspects of education. It is a subject thought and by which other subjects can be tackled, understood and communicated. Clarity of thought and expression is only possible when one has a certain command over the mother tongue. Weakness in any other subject means weakness in that particular subject only, but weakness in the mother tongue means the paralysis of all thought and the power of expression. Deep insight, fresh discoveries, appreciation and expansion of ideas are only possible when one understands the subject through being able to assimilate and be stimulated by the ideas of the subject.

Equal Rights Equal Oppurtunity

Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all" re-emphasizes that equal rights and opportunities lead to improved health outcomes for women and girls

            Gender-based discrimination is irrevocably connected to negative health outcomes for women and girls. Its associated poor health outcomes are often compounded by other forms of inequality related to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or geographical location. While these challenges are imposing, and often encoded in "normalized" ways of living, International Women's Day renews our commitment to denounce violations in human rights and to challenge unequal systems, structures and practices that perpetuate health inequalities across the world.
