A GROUP of teachers will be talking about blogs as alternative tools for education.
The Bloggers Kapihan has invited two well-known teachers who use “old” and new tools of web publishing to extend learning beyond the classroom. Sharing their experiences are Martin Perez of the Philippine Science High School and Danny Arao of the Department of Journalism of the UP College of Mass Communications.
More details:
The BK Crew presents Bloggers’ Kapihan 2.0: Blog Ed 101. This time around, let us tackle the importance of blogging in learning, learning in blogging and blogging as a tool for alternative education. The event will be held on October 13, 2007, 1:30 p.m. at the Ramon Magsaysay High School in Quezon City.
Blog Ed 101 is in cooperation with the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT), a nationwide network of educators from different schools, colleges and universities.
Tonchi Tinio, chairperson of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers, will also dive into the controversial CyberEducation Project of the Department of Education during the event.

sir/madame popokwang,
the NBN project must be stopped.
si neri ay nag sisinungaling in his testimony …’that his people searched the internet for pricing, walang makitang presyo’. this is a big lie..a clear case of PERJURY.
any project of that magnitude cannot pass the NEDA Board without proper scrutiny of the Investment COORDINATION COUNCIL. In that body, a major requirement is a feasibility study based on a decent engineering plan with estimates from reputable suppliers, or competent consultants who are abundant in this country.
Kung ginawa nila na maayos iyong trabajo, hindi magkakagulo. masasagot maigi ang mga issues.
madali namang gawin iyon. the number of gateways that the country will need to connect to the ‘mainhighway’ can be computed. tapos the sizes of each gateway can be estimated depending on the traffic for each province/region.
madami naman supplier ng mga gateway para may reasonable estimates na ang gobyerno..
bakit di ginawa…tapos mag sisinungaling pa!
eto naman si USEC Ramon Sales,..isa pang tuliro!. Sabihin ba namang ‘your honor this is based only on very rough estimates”..ANO? hello! Am sure that when he was the Exec Vice President of BPI for Information System, hindi puedeng mag submit ng budget sa board ng bangko based on ‘rough estimates’. papaano mo pupunduhan iyong estimate?..
Bakit ng nasa gobyerno na siya, puede na ba na ang trabajo ay pawarde-warde na nakakalusot ang project na walang engineering study, walang feasibility study? O baka naman bumilis iyong approval eh dahil sa ‘usec. mayr…… kang. pangcaddy……dito’!
if this is the kind of officials we have…this country is going to the dogs..
tama si ArBishop Bacani..walanghiyaan na!
years later, when our young students gets to working, i fear that their value system will be distorted and corrupted with these examples done at chamber of the senate. For our senators to let such insults to professionalism to pass, shall make souls of revered RECTO, TANADA, and other great senators ‘cry foul’.

blogging can help teaching. but topics must be structured and organized..
like in information system, i have a few notes on that relates to ‘conspiracy of fears’ that dominates solutions.
the present academic training is driven by technology RICH but application POOR courses. In fact graduates worldwide are only qualified as GP or the equivalent of General Practitioners in medicine. There are no schools that will develop them into specialists in applications such as production, marketing, accounting, treasury, etc..
i do not know how to reach the proper authorities.

Yes, so true.
Aside from the standard forms of education, on its present state Blogs are also a means non-standard form of education and learning. Furthermore Blogs are a means of expressing one’s opinions and analysis which are often left unspoken even in mass media.
Blogs are also a conduit for information and idea sharing which if positively harnessed can give great good to the nation hence a tool for nation building.
My question that has been nagging me for the past few days is what happened to the Inquirer “Current” Blogspot? It seems to has been down for many days now.

The idea of blogging as a tool for learning among our students could only be true, meaningful and valuable if students are fully equipped with the latest internet technology. This means that PC usage should have at least a ratio of 1:3 to be more practical. Students are expected to really grasp the importance of blogging as it takes time, patience and interest in doing so. Students’ participation could be more enhanced if they are provided enough gadgets they need in this trending technology. I fully support your program to uplift internet awareness or the so-called cyber education among students, which leads them to be fully equipped and in par with other students throughout the world.
