eMentors' lesson plans uploaded in the GEM site
We are pleased to inform everyone that the lesson plans developed by the eMentors were uploaded in the GEM site for other CLIC teachers to access. We are positive that the lesson plans will reach hundreds of CLIC teachers out there (to date, there are 295 CLIC schools). This is to further inform you that the lesson plans that you will continually develop will be uploaded and will definitely help, motivate, foster a collaborative learning environment within and among CLIC teachers.
For your preview, kindly click on the ff. URL: www.mindanao.org/preview. Click "ENTER" then, click the tab (in blue) "Education". The page will lead you the Education, then click "CLIC Teachers Section".
Important Note: The site is just for preview and will be formally launched on May 2006 (either in the USAID Philippines website or GEM site, we will keep you posted).
With the lesson plans created by the eMentors (and continue to develop over the next months), we are also encouraging other CLIC teachers to share their materials as well. We are hoping that the databank of lesson plans will increase every month through your strong commitment to the IBM eMentor Scholarship Program.

For satellite-connected CLIC Schools
Dear eMentors:
As part of your commitment/pledge as eMentors, may I reiterate the importance of maintaining Internet connection. Most schools are currently OFFLINE either because the school failed to renew their contract beginning the 13th month onwards (CLIC assistance includes free 12 months internet connection, afterwhich the CLIC school commits to pay the subscription based on the PTCA Resolution submitted along with other documents for application) due to non-coordination of ISPs (Internet Service Providers such as AZCommunications, Inc for satellite-connected schools, DCTech for wireless broadband, etc).
Currently, AZCom has a website where all queries re: billing/payment methods will be immediately answered. (URL: www.azcomm.net). Click on the "LIVE HELP" and then, wait for another window to pop with tabs "AZComm Live Chat" and "Leave A Message".
First, click on the tab "Leave A Message" and write your email. Below, there is a space alloted for "Question". Please write the ff: important data which AZCom will need to be able to restore your internet connection:
a) your complete name (mention that you are an IBM eMentor Scholar);
b) complete name of school (municipality, province);
c) current status of your internet connection;
d) contact numbers (please provide 2-3 cellphone numbers and the names of contact person/s);
e) request for billing statement/contract of renewal and state the preferred way of sending it(either via email or available courier in your area).
It is very important that the school renews their contract with AZCom. If, however, the school decides to migrate to another ISP (i.e. Smart Wifi or PLDT DSL is already available in the area), it is important to prompt GEM Program (through me) and inform AZCom right away, otherwise, they will continue to bill you. Prior to migration, bills must be settled first.
I personally asked AZCom not to disconnect all schools (YET) trained under the IBM eMentor Scholarship Program based on the commitment to re-echo the training and to maintain the internet to carry out the commitments. The schools, on the other hand, are expected to sustain the internet connection.
I hope this clarifies everything.
Thanks,
Maej

Back to You
I would like to apologize for the extended silence. I know that some of you have been disappointed of my decision to leave the Philippines and seek for a better future abroad. I was in such a dilemma since November 2005 knowing that I would be leaving a lot of commitments. I was already accepted this early but it was only during the IBM training in Davao that I got a call informing me of my employer's intention of sending me abroad by the end of February 2006. I am now currently connected with Saudi Aramco Training Center College Preparatory Program teaching Advanced Placement Chemistry. I know that the good Lord had given me an opportunity to meet you guys to enable me to understand to some extent the Muslim culture.
I'm back on track for I have never left EduQuest in the first place. I am just on an indefinite leave. But my heart continues to be committed to the eMentor program with Meoh as the front person now. I was really looking forward to visiting your respective stations but I guess the possiblity is remote in the near future.
I was able to talk to Nor-ain via voice chat and it was a refreshing experience. Taking advantage of technology is what we, ementors, are capable of. Hence, I can still be a support to all of you despite the distance. So keep all those posts coming.
Shokran Jeddan to everyone for pressing on!
