Many are called but few are chosen

Battling against time

Really, the training was hard; it was a tough seminar-workshop.

It's been a week now since I got home from Pampanga. I returned home shoulder sagged, "sure, will not make it," I thought so.

It was late afternoon of Friday (July 4) when I learned the result of the (Basic Online Writing Techniques) BOWT training-workshop from one friendly participant, and later from our IT coordinator.

Certainly, my inference was true, when I finally learned about the result through our ITC. 'I blown it away,' I supposed, due to my own little limitation, I spoil the chance of success-- of becoming a writer (per se). If only I have ample time to compensate what I've missed.

I felt sorry, I did lost the opportunity again.

In the opposite extreme

Personally, I've learned a lot from the training-workshop:

-gradually helped increase my pace re: meeting deadlines
-acquired basic skills re: writing online
-widen my circle of confidence
-win new friends
-fortunately, increase my awareness particularly on CICT iSchools project

Thanks a lot to our dear resource speakers and organizer of BOWT training-workshop. Thank you for your superb presentation; cool countenance through and through.

"Suddenlies"

I've just read early this morning my e-daily devotional (Today's Thought). As I scan through my inbox, one e-mail grasp my attention, the subject of the e-mail entitled "suddenlies"... the thought of the devotional brought me into a realization where 'God comes to us in unexpected ways, He is the God of the suddenlies'...

I write to share my recent experience...
It was a sudden choice... being chosen as one of the participants for BOWT training at Clark.
It was a sudden travel... a solitary trip to Pampanga
It was a sudden result... anyways, I leave it all up to God. His will be done.


Cheers!

The Northern Negros State College of Science and Technology conducts an Inspection, Assessment and Evaluation visit to the thirteen (13) Public High Schools in the Province of Cebu on June 10 – 11, 2008.

3 out of 13

Three of the thirteen public high schools subject to IAE visit were found to have computer laboratories but are equipped with rather obsolete computer units (majority were acquired through DTI way back 2002)। These schools include Argao NHS from the municipality of Argao; Urot NHS from Cebu City; and Estefa O. Monte MNHS from Danao City. The first two schools are also connected to the Internet.

13 met the expected major criteria

The visit revealed that thirteen schools found to met the majority of the criteria except for the three schools which were found to have failed the criterion on “Existence of computer laboratories।”

It was observed that the school administrators of the thirteen schools visited displays their willingness to be recipients of the iSchools in order to alleviate the conditions of their students through ICT Education.
