The world is getting more digital day by day but these batch of people need to be properly updated with these changing times. These are the ones who mold the thinking and knowledge of our youth - teachers
With the help of Globe Telecom, they had an initiative named Prism which is a professional development program to help Pinoy educators teaching new Media and Information Literacy in Senior High to be more proficient in terms of technology.
Present at it's introduction are Advisor and Head of Globe's Education Strategy and Innovation Ms. Michelle Tapia, Globe Head of Managed Services and Solutions Ms. Grace Anduiza and College of Saint Benilde Professor Mr. Jag Garcia
In a statement, Ms Tapia said "Students today are digital natives who grew up in the era of computers, mobile phones and instant connectivity, making it necesary for teachers to be adapt in the use of technology in order to guide the students properly in the use of digital information both inside and outside the classroom. Globe seeks to empower every Filipino with world-class learning through technology. We close the gap by providing teachers the digital knowledge and skills that they need to help students succeed in the 21st century".
Before this media event, select educators were in a 2-day bootcamp which they got exercises on various offline and online programs that will enhance in their teaching day-by-day from creating online presentations, to proper use of social and even Google Docs based on what I saw in their AVP. After the press launch, the teachers divided by 7 groups showcased on what they have learned in the bootcamp with some of the pics.
