Here's my post from my other personal blog on the ICT Training I attended last Summer.I wrote this last May 30,2008;and I am re-posting it here for the benefit of my students who are now experiencing the importance of ICT integration in learning English language.
Around forty eager teachers from the Visayas attended the ICT Integration Training on “Discovering and Creating Digital Learning Communities” held at the University of San Jose-Recoletos ,Basak Campus, Cebu City from May 26-28,2008.
As we disembark the school bus provided by USJ-R, I was excited. My mission just started as I scanned the faces of my co-participants coming from Iloilo, Leyte, Guimaras, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, Eastern Samar, Siquijor, and Cebu. We were all there for one purpose…that is to create a different way of forming learning encounters with the use of technology.
Sir Dean Hermano and Sir Manuel Caberte were very supportive and really shared to us their expertise of the topics, challenges/activities were performed and objectives were met. The Net is not that new to us and yet, almost all of us agreed that we still have so many things to learn. I never expected that it would be enjoyable…using search engines effectively, scavenger hunting, and some of my favorites the application of “Gamhanang Tulisok” (MMS Power Point), Photo Story, Web Blogging and Marvin Software…Wow!!! (“maka nose bleed ang sessions,hehehe.”)
I will never forget that encounter with Father Jomar Legaspi when he visited and shared his valuable and inspiring message for us. It made me realized that I have the power and that great Responsibility to be an agent of change in Education. The responsibility to be an effective instrument to create a globally competitive learning encounters with my students, an inspiration to my co- teachers and being one of those Filipino teachers across the country who is pro- innovation, transforming the face of public education despite of the many challenges we have.
In behalf of my friends/classmates/co- participants, we are always be thankful and grateful that we have met and we became a part of these dynamic people: Father Jomar Legaspi, President, learn.ph Foundation Inc., Ms. Mae Monjas of Philippine Business for Social Progress, to our dear trainors Mr. Dean Ernest Paul Hermano and Mr. Manuel Caberte and to the Department of Education, for giving us the opportunity to enhance our teaching skills and harnessing our potentials…igniting that flame of passion in teaching for the welfare of our students.
To my friends/co- participants…thank you so much for being so amiable, sweet, cool under pressure and for being true .You really know how to enjoy your Cebu Summer adventure! Until we meet again.

Its very useful to us because it can help the students research their assignments,and it helps the students to understand that the computer is not only for playing game but this can help us for answering our assignments.
Like ponce said, it is very useful to our studies and help us answer our assignments. Some people are using ICT for playing games and for friendster or yahoo or any website they like to log in....
ICT helps our knowledge about the computer.The computer is not only for playing internet games but also research.
I'm sorry to gate-crash. I am not one of your students but once a student in MCCNHS. Incidentally, I have a brother who is currently on your advisory class.
It's great to behold students learning English with the help of blogging. It's like hitting two birds in one stone. ( Sorry for the cliché - or was it an old adage? ) They learn English as well as Computer Operations.
On our time, we don't have that kind of privilege...
By the way I'm also a blogger-addict and an aspiring novelist.

It is nice of having ICT in our school because it makes teaching more easier and faster especially using cmputers because before, students used books for answering some homeworks but now, more than half of the people are using computers..
