A NEW BROOM SWEEPS WELL?....does that apply to the training? meaning we're only good at first then forget all about it in the long run?.....I SURE HOPE NOT....for one thing, internet is like an addiction to some...in my case, i got hooked to the internet, so much hooked that i stayed up late (sometimes no sleep at all!!)every night...
and to integrate our work with the internet is much more exciting than i expected...i couldnt ask for more!!!...with two of my passions(teaching and internet) combined, i sure hope something positive will come out of this!...as my husband just told me, "now you have valid reason to stay with your computer..."...how lucky can i get?well,just learned there's new promo for PLDT(hmmmmm, MY SAVIOR!!) dont have to slave on dial ups anymore!!!...anyways, SAYING HI TO MY FRIENDS FROM ALL OVER ARMM REGION...now i can say i have friends from this region,i mean literally all over the region!!!and saying hi to SIR GARSH AND SIR MEOH...happy amun jadid to everyone!!!!!

Salamat po!!!
This would be the first time (certainly not the last) I will be posting my blog here. Actually I am not fond of blogging simply because I don’t like to write. I’d rather tell stories verbally na lang instead of writing. But as time goes by, I’ve realized the importance of blogging in my life…… Practically speaking, it’s the cheapest form of communication!!! I don’t have to spend even a single centavo just to communicate with you guys. Moreover, I am always on-line so I have to maximize whatever I have right now di po ba?
Seriously, I just would like to thank all of you for the cooperation and for the friendship you have shared and given to us for 10 days. I can say that the IBM eMentor training was the best training I ever conducted so far. (wa po ito charing ha!!!). I was amazed how you aggressively and delightedly participated in every activity we conducted (maybe because of the prizes, tama po ba Sir RJ???!!!). At first I thought I would be having a hard time getting your attention pero mali pala ako. You really contributed a lot for the success of the training.
What more can I say? Well, honestly, your outputs were great. I do hope that everything you have acquired from the training will be used and implemented to your respective school ha at kung pwede now na , as in NOW NA… Ok po ba…... If you have problems with regards to the implementation of this project, do not hesitate to inform us ha.....
Again, thank you po sa inyong lahat.
Meoh

Happy Amun Jadeed!!! (Happy New Year!)
Happy Amun Jadeed to all Muslims out there!!! It's the First Day of Muharram, Hijra Calendar.
Assalamo alaikom (Greetings of Peace) to everyone! What's up guys? I've read all your posted messages...how touching naman. Huwag naman kayong ganyan, what's the use of modern technology? Kung miss niyo "'ko", hehehe...dito lang me...just text my name and i'll be there!
Ngiti naman jan...ow? Kayo ha, masyado nyong sineseryoso paghihiwalay natin? Hayaan niyo pagnanalo ko lotto lahat kayo i-bloblow-out ko...saan? Saan pa...siyempre...sa Alta Pension Inn? Kayo naman...that's where we've met, di ba? Memories of Alta, STI and Marco Polo will never be forgotten. Balikan natin 'yon, basta pag yumaman na ako, ipagdasal niyo ha?
You know what, when I reported in our school, as if I'm a celebrity! My students were very glad to have me back, nag-unahan sa pagyakap at paghalik sa akin. Halos matumba ako sa pag-aagawan at pag-uunahan na makalapit sa akin. Oy..ganun pala ako kahalaga sa kanila. Yung pagod ko sa pagbiyahe nawala sa nakita kong pagsalubong nila sa akin.Because...we arrived at about 2:00 o'clock A.M. last thursday, and I missed also my students and co-teachers so I reported that same day just to tell them the news and stories, what we did in Davao City. I gave every students a durian candy as my pasalubong, room to room talaga ako to make sure that every student will receive a durian candy from Davao.
Starring of course sa mga stories ko, Si Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh, 'miss you sirs! And of course co-starring all the IBM eMentor Scholars, how are you? 'Miss you too! Did you miss my kaguluhan, kaingayan, kalokohan or jokes kaya? Sorry if my mga natamaan ako, I just wanna make the group smile and be happy.
Thanks for everything and hope to see all of you soon.
Bavel, don't forget my CD? You can get send it to click me. Thanks, ha...galing mong sumayaw...!

Keep the Flame Burning
Hi eMentors
I am truly delighted to have heard from you. I know that the road ahead may not be as easy but it is our passion for teaching that will carry us through. There may be some things that we cannot control but we shall continue to fight and rise above these constraints....sir meoh and i shall continue to work behind and beside you to help you whichever way we can.

Nagpaparamdam Lang
Hello!!!
We're still here in Zamboanga... as in ninanamnam ang super duper haba na vacation. pinaganda ko lang ang kasalukuyang sitwasyon namin ni let... waiting pa kami sa pamasahe namin pabalik ( actually!!!) huhuhu.
Sa true lang nakakamiss... daming stories to tell mula sa training experience, sa mga ka eklatan, at of course pati concert ni Marlon sa Super Ferry na kung saan ay nanalo siya ng 1 barrel beer... na kung saan ulit ay ipina inom nya sa amin... na kung saan ulit ay muntik na kaming bumaba ng duling lahat ( syempre exagzzzz yon!!!).
Well as of this writing i have lots of plans on how to get started with this Ga-bundok na responsibility... just the mere thought of no-electricity-reality in our area makes my whole sense of direction evaporate. As in paano nga kaya samantalang 5pm pa start ng ilaw sa island namin and by the time na lights on na eh out of sight na ang aking mga ever beloved students... (just to give you a picture... we live on an island and some of my students live up on a mountain na nasa island... kinda nakakahilong location diva???) anyway kahit ganun... i can feel some kind of positive vibration with my new mission in my teaching career.
I'll just pray hard ( I was never that religious talaga... but am pretty sure God always provides!). So meaning He will provide me with electricity or watever way basta alam ko makakaya ko. Of course mas magiging magaan kung anjan pa rin kayo... I'll always be grateful to you guys. I'll keep you posted!
Take care everyone! Gob bless....

IBM starts grassroots IT training for teachers
First posted 11:53pm (Mla time) Jan 26, 2006
By Alexander Villafania
INQ7.net
IBM recently conducted its eMentor Scholarship for teachers in Mindanao, the company’s first grassroots program to provide teachers with knowledge on using IT for education far flung areas.
Partnering IBM is Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM-2), an organization dedicated to providing Mindanao schools with PCs and Internet connection.
Thirty high school teachers in Basilan, Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi were chosen as eMentor’s first scholars.
For ten days, they were provided with intensive hands-on training in computer-based education.
The group has an existing blog (http://ibmementor.blogspot.com) where they have posted comments and suggestions on the 10-day program.
Among them were Saliah Datucali Amin from the Saguiaran High School in Lanao del Sur and Leticia Santillan Adjarail from Batu-Batu National High School in Tawi-Tawi were grateful to receive practical knowledge on new technologies for better and more effective teaching methods.
“The integration of technology in my class would enable me to teach effectively and efficiently. I have learned a lot in the IBM eMentor Program, specifically in designing my instructional materials,” Amin said.
Adjarail, too, expressed excitement in going back and teaching what she’s learned – “that I should not rely on books alone when it comes to teaching.”
IBM will continue monitoring the scholars’ progress in the next four months, to be followed by an awarding ceremony for five eMentors who have made good use of their new cyber training.

one of the best ten days of my life.....
just got the chance to get hold of my computer.....wanna say so many things, this blog is not enough to contain what i feel about everything i have experienced while in Davao....
to rewind what i felt in our graduation....
as usual ate Maryam (Manalundong) was nudging us to wake up and be ready(as was the case everyday, sleepyheads as we are)...got some breakfast...then prepared for the big day...of course we wana look our best,its not everyday we get to graduate in Marco Polo, with chief executives as our guests...
the ballroom looks great....and everyone looks great too...
then ma'am Happy Raagas was briefing us with the programme...we were seated with the precocious Basilan guys...and as usual when around this group, one cant help but laugh all the time,with their never ending sense of humour...
seing the IBM general manager in person, we cant help but feel his sincerity in giving help to where it is mostly needed...words are not enough to praise him for his dedication on improving the plight of the forgotten teachers of the ARMM region...thank you very much sir!!!
at last we get to hold our certificate...I do feel like i graduated from a degree course...the feeling of having accomplished something was great!....i was elated!!!seems all my hard work had finally paid off...
we're all teary eyed as we gave the token to sir Meoh and sir Garsh...it was an honor to have them as our mentors,our teachers and our friends...
all in all the graduation went smoothly...except perhaps the photo sessions at the end...we wana have pictures with everyone...the room was in chaos! with everyone grabbing anyone they could get their hands to...pose here, pose there...its was real fun!
then come the,how do they call it, awards session?...i admit i didnt expect my presentation to be chosen as one of the top five...everybody's material deserves commendation, it was all great!!
and then at last(been dreading for this whole week) come the time where we have to bid farewell to our co-scholars...so far it was the saddest part of all this experience...to see people who have touched your life go, wondering when you'll see them again...
the bus ride going to Cagayan de Oro City was a blur...all the MSU "contingent" went in one bus...from Davao till we arrive, we were all chatting and laughing and reminiscing our experiences...
NOW SITTING IN THE COMFORTS OF MY HOME, I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST EXPERIENCED ONE OF THE BEST TEN DAYS OF MY LIFE...
IBM empowers children
Published : 2006-01-24
Five-years-old Rizza Mae Joy Lopecillo touches the computer membrane like some sacred artifact. She is among the pre-school kids, who have been itching to get near the colorful computer with its wide plastic cabinet and large keyboard.
Though they do not have their own computer, she knows that this one is really different from what she sees on the television or that in their neighbor’s house.
A volunteer-teacher finally asks her along with another kid to sit in the bench that fits two children. Without any delay, she and her friend did a virtual tour of the world along with their friends, who couldn’t help to watch them learn and play. They even tried doing the numbers in the computer.
“Nalingaw jud ko ug tan-aw kay lahi ra siya sa mga libro nga among gigamit (I enjoyed watching it because it is so different with the books we use),” Lopecillo said. When she grows up, she wants to be a teacher and dreams of using computers in her class.
Integrating technology in early learning is part of Integrated Business Machines (IBM) Corporate Community Relations Program that empowers children to learn through the use of technology. The program is in partnership with EduQuest, that helps prepare the curriculum for children from ages 3 to 8 .
Lessons in Science, Math, Language, Reading and Geography are packaged creatively to make it attractive to children while tapping their multiple-intelligences. They also use the pedagogical approach of collaborative learning as at least two children could help each other learn new concepts. Other children could still participate in the learning process as they watch and make their own answers too.
“Part of our trust is to share what we have to society through this Integrating Technology in Early Learning program,” Richard Burgos, IBM-Philippines Communications Manager said. He added they donated computers along with the Little Tikes furniture in Cebu City Central Elementary School, Zapatera Elementary School, Labangon Elementary School and the SOS Village to expand the learning experience of the students.
He added teachers are trained by EduQuest on how to integrate the technology inside the classroom to keep them updated also in the new trends in teaching.
Burgos said learning with the use of the Little Tikes furniture with IBM’s advance computer technology and pre-school software programs enable the kids to have a safe and productive learning experience. Unlike the ordinary keyboard, the Little Tikes Membrane Keyboard makes computer exploring fun and educational. This Membrane Keyboard helps teach and reinforce reading and keyboarding skills in children, ages 3-7 years as it uses a color-based mnemonic system. Consonants, vowels, punctuation marks, numbers and function keys are easily recognized because each has its own bright color. Even the flat, easy-to-clean surface of the keyboard is larger than a standard keyboard, making it easy for young children to operate with comfort and control. In case of spill outs, the computer is safe as it is encased with two locking cabinet doors and the computer wiring is stored inside the ventilated cabinet.
In this age of Information and Communication Technology, even young children should be updated to encourage them to expand their learning experience inside the four walls of the classroom.

IBM to push for open source on eTrainings
By Rizalene P. Acac
AN official of the international information technology giant said they will be advocating open-source operating system in future computer trainings they would organize.
In an interview with the media, Joaquin Quintos IV, president and general manager of IBM-Philippines, said Filipinos should learn how to use different operating systems.
He said while they are in partnership with Microsoft, they believe in the standards of open-sources which can be freely shared by computer users without necessarily paying licenses.
He said open-sources can also provide better opportunities in the Philippines where software licensure is a big issue.
He said they only used Microsoft in the first eMentor Scholarship Program in partnership with USAID because the said program is already integrated in the computer units the trainees used.
The training which lasted for eight-days was held in STI Computer College.
The eMentor traning aims to develop the use of “technology” among the schools in Mindanao starting with the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. RPA

never ending experience
before i go on my final blog for this session, my apology to all of you my dear folks for not publishing my blog for a couple of days since the 3rd day up to yesterday due to the fact that to tell you my dear classmates, its just yeasterday wherein i finally come up with my presentation. how i wish to be with the group always but unfortunaltely i was always bothered because it seems that time is almost at the end and yet my project is still blurred, as blurred as my eyes if i am not wearing my eyeglass. so much for this.......................
the time hasfinally come to an end, today is the most awaited day, isang tulog na lang!!!! as they should say it, but for me it's an endless night to sleep on. 10 days is too short for us to master the lessons but with the indulgence of the our very energetic faciltators, sirs garsh and meoh, i was able to grasp at least more or least 30% of the lessons. Our gratitudes to iniators of this program, the GEM2 Program, IMB, Phil., thru the EduQuest, Inc. To Ma'am Tata, thank you for showing up in the last day of the session, better late than never, 'ika nga.
KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!
To my dear classmates you're always be remembered, thank you for meeting you in this particular place... its memorable!!!!!!
hopefully not my last reflection........by nor-ain
its hard not to get emotional when parting ways with people who has touched your lives...this experience has touched my life in so many ways....
before arriving here, i was having inner battles with my profession....my life as a teacher has become so routinary that the zest i used to have in my profession was not as strong as it used to be....
then come this UNEXPECTED blessing....i was chosen as one of the scholars of the IBM eMENTORS...i didnt know that this experience could change my life in so many ways...
from day one to day nine, this has been a never ending emotional and intellectual rollercoaster ride...emotional in a sense that friendships and bonds are forged and formed...its an honor to work with this WONDERFUL people from all over the region...its amazing to meet with this people i grow to cherish and wont ever forget....the nine days weve been together seems like eternity of friendship formed, not only my co-scholars but to the two amazing people who has made our experience so much wonderful....sir garsh and sir meoh was nothing but wonderful...mentoring mentors is not an easy task, but they have done that with flying colors, not only that but they have become our wonderful friends as well...
it has been an intellectual rollercoaster ride because we have been taught a new level of making our profession more exciting and more in tuned with the latest trend of technology...it was a very rigid training, that no words can describe how mindbreaking it was...BUT ITS ALL WORTH IT!!!..i didnt know that teaching could be this fun...
im very excited to share this experience with my colleagues back home, as well as to my students who have been so much deprived of all the latest technology the world has to offer...
sending our gratitude to the people who has made this experience possible...to the IBM, thank you very much.....this experience would benefit not only us mentors but the CHILDREN the most...thanking also the CLIC program of GEM for tuning our schools with the world....and to eduquest, to maam tata whom we just met, you've done a wonderful job!
thanks very much to all.......
What a day to remember...
Assalamo alaikom (Greetings of Peace) to all!
As I go through the nine days of learning there's one sure thing that I can be proud of, that is...that I am one of the participants in the IBM eMentor Scholarship Program. We've gone through many experiences, the joys of learning, the happy moments with our co-participants and of course with our trainors, Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh, "I salute all of you!" I just hope and pray that the brotherhood, friendship, jokes and sharing that we had during our training will not just end in this room where we've met everyone, it's great working with you guys.
But as the days goes by, there comes always a parting time and that's the hardest thing to do, but we have to go back in our school stations (as Ma'am Tata just said) to infect our co-teachers and students what we have learned in this said training.
This day, we have witnessed everyone's output applying what our facilitators have imparted us. Everyone has presented well in his/her output, thanks to our energetic facilitators. And of course I would like also to extend my sincerest gratitude to all the people who made this program a successful one, the IBM Pilippines, EduQuest, GEM-CLIC, Ma'am Tata and Maej. More power to you all.
What a day to remember...? Guys...I will remember you the way you are and everything we've got. Thanks for everything and I apologized if I have offended you. Wassalam...may the Peace and Guidance of Allah be with us all!

"The Finale" yet "A beginning for a new milestone" (Davao Training)
It is my fervent hope that IBM Philippines will continually expand their vision to some parts of Mindanao for this very remarkable activity for several years had passed. I am fortunate that I am one of the recepient of the scholarship who had underegone this kind of training in which i am not only benefited but could be an instrument for others in the transfer of knowledge to other teachers and to my students as well. Going to this place away from my station is a sacrifice in the sense that I had left a lot of responsibilities in school(the school works, preparation of the reports which are to be submitted in the early week of February etc.) my family who had been longing for my presence since i am working in a far place away from home. Amidst all of these i find myself comfortable with the intensive training and writeshops that challenge me to do more innovative strategies to enhance my student's interest in their academic performance.
With our ever dynamic, supportive, kind, patient and inspiring facilitators. I am blessed to have them around for a sdpan of 9 days who did not left us not until we really finished our outputs in a more defined presentation. We owe a lot from you Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh. it's not only the training but the friendship that we had develop among us (the participants-facilitators relationship). I know God will have more blessings to those who are blessed. A million thanks! I will be missing you both! You've been a part of our lives! I will treasure the momemts and the knowledge you have shared with us!
To Maam Tata for a very inspiring message shared to us this afternoon. You had given us the spirit to really move on!
To Maam Maej, Maam Happy and Sir Abet our GEM CLIC Coordinator in MSU! Thank you very much for the untiring support.
Hi! folks my co-eMentor participants just keep in touch posting your blogs here. My co-MSU eMentors of Lanao Sur/Norte thank you for the wonderful company. I'll be missing you guys!
"Till we meet again! See you then!
Sir P7on (Arnold B. Asotigue)
Let's go to our own "world" and multiply!
After 9 days at last... DONE!!! I'm a bit dizzy pa kasi I was the last person to present. Hindi naman halata na I was tensed???? Huh!!! Ikaw kaya ang magkaroon ng presentation na hindi mahanap ang musical scoring an hour before your turn... dagdagan pa ng hirit ni sir Garsh na "hala ikaw pa tlaga ang ma wiwitness ng visitors na magprepresent" ( doesn't sound so nananakot naman noh? hehehe). Pero I just realized na kung gusto mo ang ginagawa mo at alam mo where you're going to...well 'alang technical interruption ang makakahadlang( sa true lang). Syempre I was very thankful kay sir Garsh for having been so supportive sa work ko at sa mga kaek-ekan ko sa aking own musical scoring. For sir meoh naman grateful din ako kasi naging magaan ang mga araw dahil nga sa we speak the same "language" ang lahat ng mga okrayan at mga di makatarungang pahirap sa sarili ay biglang na carry ko.
Pa shift lang ng personality sandali ha?!
Warning: The serious side of me!
I am indeed so blessed for having been chosen as one of the scholars. Challenging yet enjoyable... this gave me the chance to widen my horizon in terms of sharing what I have to my students. I just realized that no matter how you feel that you have given enough there is always a room for a quest for more knowledge. Thanks to IBM, GEM, EDUquest, to our mentors sir Garsh at sir Meoh for the opportunity given to all of us, rest assured we'll try our best to "infect" others and to pass the "virus" to our co- educators in our respective areas. Anyway... hope to see you guys one bright day soon! Good luck to all of us....
( Charing!!! hehehe kala nyo seryoso lahat noh di ko kaya hanggang end eh.... gaya ng blinog ko nung 1st day this training made me alot more praning... in the sense na parang ang dami kong gustong i share... nahilo na ko.... well, bye for now... SALAMAT)

the last moment
saying goodbye to everyone is really hard thing to do...being an eMentor recepient is a great thing to carry on for the rest of my life...for surely ill treasure so long i have still the air to breathe. talking about the knowledge and wisdom ive learned from this extentsive training is another thing to deal with. this was a training that is focused on technology integration into curriculum that will lead to an execellent learning instruction. so, i will absolutely shout to the whole world that i am now an ementor scholar that will challenge the young generation. ill probably make a different after undergone all the things as far as IBM eMentor scholraship is concerned. ive equiped with all the knowledge imparted by the IBM which will serve as my weapon all through out my teaching profession........
as to bonding and friendship of the group well well well wala akong masabi.... i really feel the vibration of openness from everyone.. i am so glad i met all the beautiful and handsome faces from the different places of ARMM. are you in or out? yes of course i am..............................
oh shit this is our last moment to share with. its graduation tomorrow.....huhuhu.......... well just want to say thank you for all everything, the company, the warm friendship, and the time we been together. 10 days i guess is enough to keep someone.......
to sir garsh and sir meoh.......... you're beyond compare..................... i love you!!!
i am looking forward for the next moment to see you again!!!!! another training please!!!!!! hehehehehe
l LOVE YOU ALL....
Days to Remember
Alhamdulillah! I can now say that I can do the things I've been longing for to do in my classroom during the deliberation of my lessons. For instance, doing magical presentation of my lesson with the aid of instructional technology of course. I can now tell the whole world and my colleagues in the field of education that I'm not left behind in this technology age. When I return to my station, I can boast to my fellow mentors that "Yes I've got the magic and the power of education through IBM eMentor Scholarship".
After presenting my output to the group and after listening to my co-eMentor scholars' presentations, I was overwhelmed and inspired to do the best things I can do to improve my strategy and method as a mentor because I've discovered a lot of amazing things which really can help me in presenting my lesson more meaningfully, effectively and efficiently.
This is really the kind of training that can help the mentors particulary in the ARMM Region to enhance their methods and strategies in teaching (although MADUGO as what Sir garsh and Sir Meoh said). I really salute the SUPERMEN (Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh) of this training for their great patience, untiring assistance, overwhelming suggestions, comments and brilliant expertise they shared to us ; and the organizers/sponsors (GEM, IBM, and EduQuest) for the opportunity they've extended to us mentors in ARMM. Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh, I hope and pray that we'll have another projects/trainings to work on with. Thanks for everything that you've shared to us. My co-eMentor scholars, thanks a lot for the warm friendship and company you've shown to me. I really enjoy having you around for the whole duration of this training. I hope we can meet again for another challenging training. Once again, Shukran (Thank You) to all of you guys...............................
Always keep in touch.

My gulay! as in 2 days more to go and graduation na... ang 9 na araw na nakakalokang pakikipagbuno sa kompyuter ay sa wakas .... ala lang.... mag i end na. Infairness kahit di kami nagkaka usap ng aking mga ka chuvahan dito sa training na ito dahil nga sa super dooper ... you know naman... kunwari mga talagang engrossed sa work... eh... sa truth lang ma mimiss ko lahat ng mga ka eklatan namin.
Talagang super glad at proud ako sa aking nabuong power point kahit simple lang at least ako natutunan ko ang whole process, na hindi lumabas mga dugo at utak ko sa aking ilong ( muntik lang!).
Maraming salamat sa aming mga mentors sir Garsh at sir Meoh!!! Sa aking mga kapanalig, ipagpatuloy natin.... ( seryoso ako ngayon...)!!!

Reflection?
Yup? You will really reflect of those inputs and writeshops of the training. I guess everyone is already tired yet excited to go home to their respectives places. Me, yeah i don't how to express my feelings I've learned a lot from the training, I gained friends eventhough we had limited time to talk with because of the very intensive workshop but we were able to tour some part Davao every vacant time that we had. I spent so much fun here meeting different people coming from different provinces of ARMM. This could be a diversity of culture with a common purpose. The facilitators whom we consider have been very supportive, patient and kind. I am expressing my heartfelt thanks to you Sir Meoh and Sir Garsh. You're both one of a kind. Hoping to have more people like you. To the IBM who iniated this training and in partnership with USAID. GEM_CLIC, EDUQUEST and STI. My one million thanks for this fruitful endeavor.

We thought among us all, it was Sir Mark who knows Davao well......Were in for a big surprise!!!!!!!.....Seems sir mark knows his way well in Davao that we got back to where we got off,RIGHT IN ALTA'S DOORSTEPS.Thanks to Sir Mark, we got a very good laugh!!!!!
Then off to The Venue.....the band is noisy....had some drink(COKE,waaaah).....we managed to have good conversation only during band breaks......seems the band's intent on drilling holes in our eardrum..........then finally we met maam maej.....maam maej was GREAT!shes soooo nice and COOL.....
Its a night i wont ever forget......... even if i try to i can't.....as its the only time i enjoyed being LOST....
Sir Mark by the way is a Brother........so thanks very much brother Mark....you're a true alphan......

moments to treausure
heay guys,,,,
This training is really a unique one in a sense that we have that strong bond of friendhsip. I noticed, we even treat each other as brothers and sisters.. and that what makes us different...We've got the chance to know each other and i think everybody has an open mind and heart to hold that freindship that somehow may last... I sometime laughed as i observed one time we argued each other however that serves as a bridge to be more closer....Personally, you guyz inpspired me a lot and touched my life in so many ways!!! and surely these will be treasured..........................................................Oyy serious na ako hehehe.anyway, training and this time having fun with sir meaoh and sir garsh- ang mga matatapang na challenger... thanks guys..
we are about to survive the challenge and are you ready to become a contemporary teachers??? yes, eMentors will faithfully and courageously face whatever hindrance might be...i know we can do it.remember young generation awaits us.... hold on and be a future giver...

Guys...wanna have fun? Just call...the energizer of the training none other than.....dddaaarrraaannn....presenting "Sir Garsh with his co-pilot Sir Meoh!"
Day 6 Reflection
We are tasked to continue designing our lesson plans and power point presentations. Although It's so tiresome but I'm very much challenged to finish my presentation. I can say now that I've learned a lot of things from the SUPERMEN of this training. Thanks Allah and to Sir Meoh and Sir Garsh for the untiring assistance because we're about to finish our presentations. Shukran Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh!!!!!!!!!! Masahal Khayr to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Press on eMentors!
I know that the training is hard work but your passion for your profession takes you above the seemingly difficult task of making technology work for instruction. There is no reason to turn back. This is the only way to go no matter how hard it may seem to be. We may be sometimes too frank about our comments but it is that openness of mind and heart that will take all of us to higher heights. Capture the imagination of your students. Innovate and you will see your classrooms transformed. Just bear in mind that little changes done constantly will have an impact big time.
Press on eMentors!
"A good teacher does not need technology to make learning happen
but the best teacher use technology to make learning more fun and meaningful."

Challenges make a person strong!
A very intensive training inspires me to do the the activities in a more positive way. For the past two days, I had no time to post reflections just because of the tasks that I have to comply as part of the training. It is not only to comply but an activity that enhances also our ability to develop to a more innovative in the teaching-learning process with ict.
The MOL that we had helped us recall the inputs that we had. We had ended every session with so much fun. Sir Meoh and Sir Garsh had given us their constructive criticisms in our individual's work.
Have a nice day folks! Rest muna kau jan! It's ALTA time na naman.
sir p7on
Thank God it's Friday!!!
Bwahaha!!!! malapit na.... malapit na.... malapit ng bumigay ang mga kaugatan ko sa ulo. Crispin!!! Basilio!!!! Help.....
Well anyway 'sang banda na nga ba si sisa ngayon??? As of this writing medyo nababanaag ko na ang light na nasa gawing timog (charot!kunyari may sense of direction) a palagay ko hindi tayo mag aaway- away kasi na notice nyo di na tayo nag-uusap usap? ( di kaya!?)....Tao po nasa tabi ninyo at hindi mouse(harhar!) magparamdam naman kayo.... seriotic lahat as in so scary!!
How time swiftly flew... ( o di ba, ala valedictory address) 5 days more to go at I shall return na ulit ako sa aking "blue lagoon" sa isla ng Tawi-Tawi.... In fairness ang dami kong nagawa kesa kahapon.
Basta!!! nakakapagod pero MASAYA (1,2,3 Bow!)

Day 5 Reflection
Whaaaaat a very challenging and wearisome day we had! Although wearisome but enjoyable because of Sir Meoh's remarks reagrding our outputs were really soooo kakatawa as in hahahahahahaha to the max. Joke! Hey, guys, it seemed that everyone was so serious working on his/her output.
Before the day's session started, we had MOL to recall what had been transpired by the facilitators during the previous day's session. This activity was facilitated by Group 1 headed by RJ. Our group won in this game. After MOL, we continued with our activities like designing our lesson plans and making our power point presentations. I really salute the SUPERMEN in this training because of their unending patience in assisting the us. It seemed that everybody was busy working on his/her presentation that almost everyone of us forgot to have a lunch break. Hey folks, it's almost five pm, have a break, have a dinner at ALTA!
Masahal Khayr to all!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) sal
For your eyes only…..
As usual, I do my daily routine of prayer to give Praise and Thanks to Almighty Allah for giving us another beautiful day. Alhamdulillah!!!
I enjoyed our activities for today. From morning ‘til afternoon Sir Meoh and Sir Garsh, I supposed, they’re exhausted their energy for today’s activities as we did. Even our eyes will gonna give up due over-exposure to our computer monitor. Oh…my dear, let your eyes have a rest…baka mamaya sa sobrang excitement maduling ka na…have a nice day!

Day 4 Reflection
Haaaaaayyyyyyyyy........... Another very tough day of the training had passed. The group 4 was tasked to facilitate the MOL. After the MOL, Sir Meoh started the day 4 session with a game called "Wordles Game". We continued on designing our lesson plan. It was really a challenging activity yet very enjoyable. In this day, all the partcipants seemed to be soooooo happy upon seeing the pictures and videos taken during the previous days of the training. Thanks Allah, I'm about to finish my lesson plan with the help of our untiring facilitator, Sir Meoh.
reflections.......by nor-ain (day 4)
phew............what a day...seeing sir meoh and sir garsh explaining everything seems very easy.......boy, was i mistaken..........now that were doing our own material i wonder if i could ever form what i have in mind...i have so many things in mind which i wana incorporate in my material.....but i dont know where to start.........sir meoh on my rescue!!!!thanks sir!!!!............
Sir Meoh, where do you get your amazing ideas???
Sir Meoh, where do you get your amazing ideas???
reflection (day 4)
so tired of the day for this session yet so challenging... hehehe a teacher must be of good patience...yup another knowledge , another challenge to face... thanks sir meoh for being so kind in helping me finalizing my powerpoint presentation...hehe ganda
Day 3 Reflection
Sir Garsh started the third day's session with a very challenging MOL in order for the participants to recall what had been tackled in the previous session. After the MOL, Sir Meoh started his lecture on Developing Materials. He started it with an activity in which the participants were grouped according to their field of specializations. It was about role playing of the different fantaseries. Fortunately, our group (English group) won and we were given prizes by our very generous facilitors (Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh) whom I call the SUPERMEN of the IBM eMentor Training 2006.
In the afternoon, we were tasked to design our own lesson plan using the instructional technology. I this activity, I've learned that a teacher should do something to present his/her lesson meaningful to the students. I should say thanks a million to the SUPERMEN of this training.
In fairness d na ito history!!!
It boggles me real bad everytime I think about writing my reflection... y? kasi naman for the past days i've been giving you "history" guys. Well at last ngayon medyo tama ang date.
Kaya lang as in... my head is aching na ( see???? IS ang ginamit ko at hindi WAS). My eyes want to make mura-mura na talaga because I have been like stuck up na tlaga and I don't even wear my contact lens kasi nga its kinda matutuyo lang kasi katabi ko aircon ( ay ambot!!) but anyway...... although medyo nawawala na ko sa katinuan, in fairness ang dami kong na discover ngaun sa job-to-do ko.
So hirap talaga kasi kulang ang materials na magagamit ko... kung bakit kasi napagtripan ko pa ang musika ng Tawi-Tawi( Taga Leyte kaya ako?!) Bhu!hu!hu!... but it's ok God will Provide ( ako ang iyong konsensya " Ipasa ba sa Lord ang work??").
Aktwali... I feel like making Bunyi-bunyi na bacause my work is kinda may patutunguhan na.
I was able to collect some images na... thanks to my reinforcers.
Time to go na. Parang lahat na tayo ay halos lumalabas na ang mga ugat sa head. Stop na! Now na!!

Salam, and welcome to our 4th day training! Everyday, in every minute and every second of the day give Thanks to our Almighty Creator for a beautiful day that has arisen.
As we have agreed yesterday the group who wins the MOL quiz, will be for today’s facilitator of another MOL before starting the training proper. Group V, Marie, Yam, Nor-ain, Arnold, Bong and Jeff, made a bouquet with questions inserted in each petals. While singing the song, "The More We Get Together..." the participant pass the bouquet to each participant and who ever got hold of the bouquet after the song will answer a question. Everybody was having fun during the game.

Our lecturer for the today is again Sir Meoh, he introduced us the "Wordles" game which made our mind twist in order to get the correct phrase. Sir Meoh discussed about worksheets and everybody is excited to start his/her own design for the presentation of our lessons. At last we are now starting to design our presentations. There are so many things that we have in designing our presentations using the MS Powerpoint.
Wow...what a day! We've learn so many things on this day, thanks to our very energetic lecturers or shall I say 'facilitators' from the very start of the training to this days and hope 'til the end of our training. "Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh...we will cherish the days being with us."
Day 4 Session
The Day 4 morning session is about the art of facilitation and the art of questioning. Capturing the students attention with visually appealing multimedia presentations is not the end of the story. The teacher should be able to sustain that interest. At this point, the teacher should be able to have good facilitation skills to ensure that the momentum is sustained and the learning outcomes met.
After that, the participants continued working on their presentations, eager to apply what they have learned...excited about the new tricks and tips...
Day 4 Management of Learning
Management of Learning (MOL) is a training activity at the same a strategy that aims to determine how well the participants are able to understand the lessons of the previous day.For Day 4, Garsh and Meoh assigned the task of creating an MOL to Group 4. The group created a wonderful paper boquet whose petals contain slips of paper with questions regarding the previous day's lesson. The boquet is passed around while singing the chorus of the song, "The More We Get Together". Then the person who has the boquet in his/her hands at the time the song is over gets to answer the question.
We all have fun! We all get to recall!
History ulit!!! ( reflrection cheness Day 3)
Day 3 was (take note!!! WAS ulit) a day of "talent showcase".
May mga newly discovered actors and actresses at ang pinaka matindi sa lahat may mga potential ago-go dancers pala kaming kasama ( thanks sa social studies group... now we know na may alternative job pala kahit di na dumating ang Sept. and Dec salary.... Rejoice mga katribu!!!)
It wasssss an exciting day kasi mega Hands-on to the highest level na ang aking mga kachuva dito while ang yours truly ay nasa isang tabi patuloy na giniginaw sa aircon ( Help!!!wala nito sa Tawi-tawi). Actually kung nabasa nyo reflection ko kahapon... still I am making isp-isip pa what to do... parang sa sobrang dami ng gusto kong i apply, my hands are kinda paralyzed na tuloy and my brains ( kunwari gumagana... no kokontra pls!) ay parang hindi na maka organize ng thought.
Honestly dahil nga sa nasa dulo ng Pilipinas ang Tawi-Tawi at ako ay located sa isang isla ay buong puso kong ikinukumpisal na guilty ako sa paratang na i don't regularly gamit our PC sa school dahil nga sa ala pong kuryente sa araw (ouch!!!) and we only make kabit-kabit sa sa generator ng mga multi- company sa "neighboring country" ( Globe Lines) but anyway medyo di na ko magwoworry kasi ayon sa aking bubuwit ay pinapa ayos na ang aming generator sa skul so I can practice na what "I preach". Hopefully... i can be more of service to mankind ( medyo related naman di ba? and take note may sense!)
So mega Power Point Ek-ek na ko pag balik ko sa area... Promise!!! Excited na ang inyong abang lingkod na mag explore lalo na sa mga shinare na tips ni sir Garsh and sir Meoh sa power Point. Naway maabot ko ang rurok ng kaligayahan ( ooppsss... sumasapi nanaman ang espirito ni rosana roces...).
Serios na ito... maraming salamat sa aming mga facilitators ( remember Patience is a virtue!)... may 6 days pang natitira... I am sure so dami pa ang in store for us.
so keep sane!!!

3rd Day!!!
Hmmmm.....ooooppppssss! It's already already 4:30 A.M. Wake up...wake up!!! Lets start another Alahamdulillah...may the guidance of Almight Allah be with us always and the days to come.
Our lecturer for the today is no other than Sir Romeo "Meoh" Aquivido from San Pablo City, Laguna. "Hello sir, i'm pleased to meet you!!!" Before starting our training proper for the day, Sir Meoh motivated us by grouping us by six the group who gets the highest points wins and our group, Group V won. More activities...we were also inspired to make a telefantasia skit by subject areas, a very approachable person. In our skit, we were given specific titles to relate, for me who belongs to the math teachers we instructed to relate our skit to the popular sitcom "Pinoy Big Brother" setting in solving for the solution of the equation. It was a motivating start of the training. Everybody in the group contributed in doing the skit. The English Group won. Then after that we continued our lesson for the day. For the next lesson, we are again given another activity. We grouped ourselves again by six and made a resolution for various people: within the group, for the school administrator, the mayor and for the President. Its an interesting activity 'coz we need cooperation and creativity for this activity.
Upon arriving for the afternoon session, we were so excited and enjoyed watching the pictures taken by Sir Garsh publish in the net. And of course, the training proper will not start without motivation so we played an amuzing BINGO Game, Sir Meoh gave us the mechanics that is you should have the material shown in order to mark the number and five winners were declared.
Sir Meoh started discussing on Presentation Media, a very exciting lesson. For here we were able to know basic skills that we need in doing our presentation. Everyone of us enjoyed doing our work specially our presentation using the powerpoint. There are so much to be learn we even go on overtime. We finished already at past five in the afternoon. So, we just roam around at G-Mall for quite sometime then went home early to prepare the materials neede for MOL tomorrow. We were having so much fun in doing it, shared jokes and laughters all over the room. We evicted my roommate Sal because she was not a member of the group...'sorry Sal', that's the way it is! We finished making our material at around 11:30 PM. Infact, Yam slept with me because Sal is already asleep in the other room. Suddenly...somebody knocks at our door..."who's there?" Wwweeooww...surprise, it was Nor-ain, she came back because she was having a nightmare, so slept with us.
What a day? Hope we can survive this hectic schedule and more skils be acquired as we on our training!!! To Sir Garsh and Sir Meoh...more power.

History!!! ( kahapon pa kasi dapat ito!!!)
recall...recall...recall....
I was suppose to make my 2nd day reflection kahapon kaya lang... well anyway... what transpired nga ba kahapon??? hmmm...
Kahit medyo nagstart ng mag react ang ibang "body parts" ko dahil sa sobrang pagkakaupo, I must admit I did have a great time. Aside from the fact that nanalo ang group 1 sa game kahapon ( ahem!!) kung saan ako ay "kapuso" marami rin akong natutunan sa lecture.
I just realized na mahirap maging isang effective guro coz paper works make me a lot more praning and it so Kaka ( sounds so coñotic ba?? sorry elitista ako ngayon bwahaha!!)... but honestly it's so rewarding... I am sure sa darating pang mga araw mas marami pang mapapanalunan ang group 1 ( oopsss.... teka paki connect.... sorry humangin ba bigla??) in other words, sooo dami pa kong malilearn ( sana din, kaya ko pang tumayo ng straight after 7 days at kayo din).
I have to make stop na muna here ha? because i have to make isip-isip again sa susunod kong reflectioneees
Isang mapagpalayang araw sa ating lahat!!!!
Stay cool... Keep going

You may want to take a look at this! We had a fun day in Day 2 when the some male participants showed that Mindanao men are good in traditional dance.
News on the Instructional Value of Blogs
Hi eMentors,
Here is an excerpt of an article that speaks of blog as a useful instructional tool that the teacher can use:
Students are familiar with blogging, in which they go to a Web site such as myspace.com and post their thoughts and opinions. While not widespread, some teachers have set up blogs to communicate with students on classroom Web sites.
A school district near Richmond, Va., recently unveiled a program of teacher blogs, and school blogs were the subject of an article in the July issue of American School Board Journal.
In Arizona, teacher Ben Goodman at Cimarron Springs Elementary in Surprise set up a blog for his students last year on the classroom Web site. As a computer lab teacher, a blog was a natural extension of his skills.
Teachers often shy away from blogs because they worry that students will post inappropriate comments. Goodman came up with a solution to prevent this: On his next blog, students will have an identification number and password so he can track who makes each comment.
Goodman predicts more teachers will use blogs as they discover them.
"It just takes time," he says. "There probably aren't very many teachers who use blogs themselves, and if you don't understand the potential, it's hard to get excited about it."

2nd Day Reflection!!!
Good Morning!!! It's 4:00 o'clock A.M. Get up and fix yourself!!! Another day, another hope, another opportunity has come!
Again, Alhamdulillah, I started my day with my daily obligatory prayer "The Subuh or Fajr Prayer". After prayer, I arranged my things and fix myself. Knock at the door steps of my co-scholars and wake them up. Then at about 7:00 o'clock we have our breakfast.
At the training proper, we started an action song, "Every single cell...". Then Sir Garsh continue his discussions and gave us an activity about "Learners Analysis with the aid of Sir MEOH. In the afternoon, Sir Garsh continued his discussion and inspired us to do Lesson Planning and while doing so, we have picture taking with Sir Garsh. We were just wandering why Sir Meoh hesitates to take picture with us. "Sir Meoh, we just want to remember you somehow, together in a picture...?! Well, anyway he was very cooperative and very accommodating.
During the lectures and discussions that we had, new words were added into my vocabularies and additional information about technology. This is a very informative day. We end up our training for today working with our Lesson Plans. A pleasant day!!!
Again, from STI we continued our window shopping, for this time at SM. From there I made the Ethnic Group at the tourism section perform their dance, I love their costumes, very colorful!!! We enjoyed very much window shopping, infact we came home late because we didn't notice the time that it was already past 8:00 o'clock P.M. We were the last people to eat dinner. Well...well...well, better go home early next time! Good night!

REFLECTION DAY2
It's another day of friutful endeavor, I am enlightened by some additional knowledge and skills of the modules being discussed to us. A lot of challenging works as an edge to the realization of making lesson plans through the aid of IT. Got tired yet its worth gratifying to say I'VE LEARNED MORE. With the ever dynamic and approachable facilitator ENGR. RAYMOND M. GARCIA i have nothing to say and ask for. You're GREAT! I salute you. With the kind assistance of SIR ROMEO VILLANUEVA believe me you can do it!
A million thanks!

reflection 1
I really noticed the power of technology....it's role in creating a good environment that will lead to a dynamic teaching process.i' ve gained so much knowledge just for this first.
Day 1 Reflections!!!
Alhamdulillah! I made it to Davao City! To my co-IBM eMentor Scholars...Kudos!!! Wish you the best and have a great time!
Today, January 16, 2005 is our first day of training. I'm so excited. I woke up early at about 4:45 A.M., prepared myself and made my obligatory prayer for "Subuh" to start my day. May the blessings and guidance of ALMIGHTY ALLAH be with us not only for today but for the whole duration of our training.
After fixing myself, my co-scholars have our breakfast at about 7:30 alrerady. We enjoyed our meals beacause we ate like a King... "eat all you can", thanks to GEM-CLICK. After breakfast, we walk under the heat of the early morning sunshine... wow, I sweat before reaching our destination, STI the venue of our training.
Upon reaching STI, we were required to present an I.D. before entering the area. Then we registered for the first day of our training. "Good morning to everyone!" I met my co-IBM eMentor Scholars and known all the people involved in this training program. Registration started from 8:00 o'clock to 9:00 o'clock this morning and while waiting for the rest, Engr. Raymond "Garsh" Garcia is very accomodating to the trainees and started to share some knowledge that he has to share with us about the training program. He also introduces us his co-pilot Mr. Romeo "Meoh" Aquivido and some people from STI.
Then finally comes the Opening Program which started at about 9:30 AM with a welcome remarks from Ms. Arcille Catherine B. Raagas. Then an inspiring message from IBM Philippines representative Ms. Andrea Escalona, Country Marketing Manager and an appetizing remarks from EduQuest, Engr. RAYMOND GARCIA, Program Manager.
We have also an open forum and after that we started an orientation what we are about to learn in this training. For the first day, Alhamdulillah, I have acquired an additional knowledge about technology for that will be very useful in the future for teaching my students. THANKS to Sir Garsh!
Before going back to our lodging house, we have sometime window shopping in Victoria Plaza. So many interesting things to buy, but sorry...no much money.
We already arrived in Alta Pension around 9:00 o'clock P.M. We ate our dinner with much laughter because everyone in the group shared their funniest experience. What a day??! God Bless to all. See you...

Day 1 Reflection
After the first day of this 10-day training, I have found that I should know more about mentoring my students, for instance the use or integration of technology in my class in order for me to impart my lessons effectively and efficiently. I've learned a lot of things specifically in designing my instructional materials to be used in the class.
reflection
DAY 1
First day of the training really inspire us to do our part of the activities imparted to us and the modules being discussed. With have learned a lot. To the facilitators for their expertise being shared to the participants. You have been blessed with the knowledge gained and shared it to us.
The modules presented are interesting and we continually looking forward for more challenging yet easy to understand because of our brilliant facilitators.

My Day 1 Reflection
Its great! Mentors of ARMM converge in one area to collaborate ideas necessary for the advancement of education in this region, thanks to GEM for having IBM through Eduquest, Inc. as the trainers for this very significant scholarship. Thanks to IBM in choosing ARMM as the first batch. To my co-scholars this is a very good start.
REFLECTIONS............of nor-ain
REFLECTIONS day 1
A very interesting day...learned,listened and absorbed so many information at the same time...seems a gargantuan task???i think not.....why????first, sir garsh is a very effective facilitator,program manager and lecturer all in one...might have to do with his voice,one cant help but listen to him...(will further praise sir garsh at the end of the training:)....)
The tshirt designing was fun...the artistic side of us was explored...and cultures depicted....
All in all, the discussion on the first and second module was well discussed and well presented...sir garsh' method in presenting the lesson depicts the modules itself....(well done sir!)....
9 days to go....9 more days to learn, listen and absorb new informations....
GOOD LUCK to all of us....:)
Welcome IBM eMentor Scholars
Congratulations to all of you! We are very much delighted to have met you personally. Looking forward to the next ten days of training.
