Technology: A Gateway to New Experiences

     2nd grading had passed, and I’m to say that I learned so many things in our class. Especially about “tags”, it is very amazing that those tags give a really great help in the web.

     Eventhough there are so many disturbances in our class, still our teacher is doing her best so that we can catch up with our lessons. There are times that she is very fast in teaching the lesson but we can still understand it. She also gave us different exercises and activities to test if we really know what we are doing. I haven't finish yet one of my activities that she gave because of some technical problems. But thank doodness she still gave us extension for it. She's really very kind, no doubt with that.

     I hope in the following days in our class, we will learn more and maybe we can also make everyday memorable.

Promoting Digital Literacy through English Proficiency

 

Schools are continually updating their curriculum for digital literacy to keep up with accelerating technological developments. This often includes computers in the classroom, the use of educational software to teach curriculum, and course materials being available to students, online. Some classrooms are designed to use smartbroad, audience response system. These techniques are most effective when the teacher is digitally literate as well. Teachers often teach digital literacy skills to students who use computers for research.

Educators are often required to be certified in digital literacy to teach certain software and, more prevalently, to prevent plagiarism amongst students. Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology.It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology and an understanding of how it can be used.

Digitally literate people can communicate and work more efficiently, especially with those who possess the same knowledge and skills. So, by promoting digital literacy through english proficiency we are all be benefitet and this may help us to reach the progress we are aiming for.

Chemergy: Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy

There are so many things that Chemistry should be studied. First, chemistry has an important practical application in society. The development of life-saving drugs is one, and a complete list would touch upon most areas of modern technology. Second, chemistry is an intellectual enterprise, a way of explaining our material world. Finally, chemistry figures prominently in other fields, such as in biology, in the advancement of medicines. Chemistry in every field as a useful intellectual tool for making important decisions. The role of chemistry in the prevailing society is of enormous benefits.

Science clubbing means creation or grouping of students in order to develop their skills and knowledge in order to come up with a nurturing project that will enhance their mental ability to look for a positive attitude on how they will love science as the source of their intelligence. It is therefore up to the students on how they will treat science, or will they accept it as part of their daily activity as they continue breathing here on earth. Because in this manner also each student will learn to interact with their classmates and to larger groups wherein there will be a continuous flow of ideas. This would then be the basis if the students understand what has been thought in the classroom or to involve in teaching this subject was so vague that they themselves do not fully get the meaning of why is there a need to study science?

Furthermore, Science clubbing is very much important for these goals, and every student must join together and make the link as strong as the bond exist between the electrons of noble gases. Synergy, in general, may be defined as two or more things functioning together to produce a result not independently obtainable. Yes, Science clubbing and chemistry must be in synergy. There are things chemistry can do that science clubbing cannot, but there are also things that science clubbing can do that chemistry cannot. Yes, they must unite to conceive a result not independently achievable.

My TEACHER, my HERO

     What else can we think of when teachers are mentioned?, their understandings, hardships, pieces of advice and care that they have given to us. And of course, the lectures, new lessons, quizzes and assignments! Those memories when they came about to tell stories and jokes with us students. Their “sermons” to us during the times when were disobedient or lazy to pass our assignments. It’s their continuous patience and hard works for us that make them our hero

     What could be in a school without our teachers? There would be no students as well that in fact, students will not be able to go to school and learn what they are supposed to learn. There will be ignorance. Having our teachers we were able to learn and understand things easier and quicker. Because of teaching, a lot of people have reached and accomplished their goals in life. Education is the greatest gift that mankind can eer receive. It is vital to everybody. The role played by our teachers became very significant since they are considered as one of the nation builders. On them, rests the failure or the success of the nation. These knowledge, attitudes, values and behaviour bring out good and responsible citizens. A teacher measures the achievements and aspirations of the nation. A teacher is a dynamic force that motivates everyone to become a responsible and productive citizen. A teacher is the backbone of the community. SACRIFICE, DETERMINATION, COURAGE, DEDICATION, SELFLESS service, PERSEVERANCE – these are the common qualities attributed to a hero.

     Our second parents, our best friends, our advisers- our teachers have helped a lot in the contribution of our success. They will forever be a treasure. This teacher’s day was a good way of expressing gratitude to our beloved teachers whom are the reason why we have accomplished most of what we have accomplished until the present. However, we should not only express our warmest thanks to our teachers during the 5th day of the month of October but it should always be done. Thank you teachers! We love you! :)

Thank You TEACHER...

Days filled with laughter’s and joy,

We shared together in our second home

Memories that will never fade

Even if we go in our separate ways.

You’ve given us pieces of advice

To make us better persons in our future life

You’re always there when we need you

In laughter, in sorrow and even if we feel blue.

Thank you for the care and love

Because you are our guardian angel sent from above

Thank you for telling what is right from wrong

And having the patient to be with us all along.

We are very thankful that you came into our lives

touched our hearts with your inspiring stories

Laughed with us with our corny jokes

And love us with your own big heart.

Despite of being together

We came to reality that we’ll separate ways

But we love you more than any words can say

And I know we’ll see each other someday.

For you will always be here in our hearts

Together with those precious memories,

That made our high school life worth while

Thank you so much our dear teachers--

                                                     Our best friends, our advisers and our heroes.

SONA of PNoy

     First of all I would like to applaud Mr. President Noynoy Aquino for using our national language. He had used Filipino in his entire speech which means that the State of the Nation Address is truly for the Filipino people. And what he said came all from his heart, because he didn’t use any paper to write his speech.

     PNoy opened his SONA with a reminder of what he promised during his inauguration which is the removal of the culture corruption in the country. He also mentioned the fact in the fight against corruption is indeed a personal battle for him because he was elected to protect not only the power but most specially the Filipino people as a whole. He also talked about a better life and a government that will focus on the sector which are really important to Filipino people and these includes agriculture particularly in food sustainability, better jobs, better housing, higher salaries for all and a lot more. It gives hope to every Filipino that indeed a new age has come for our country.

     In the contrary, I felt sad when he didn’t say the other issues our country encounters now. Like the peace and order in Mindanao, election, the K-12 program and even the RH Bill.
     There's already an improvement in our country and our president had done something to prove himself. But this is not yet the end, though it is the continuation of our journey to "tuwid na daan" right path. Let us help our president to continue in the betterment of our country, for we will also the one who'll be benefited afterwards.

Reflection

          Two months had passed by being a 4^th year student here in ISNHS.  In this short period of time, I can say that we had already experiences a lot that challenged us. Like rushing our projects, quarrelling before a contest and some king of misunderstandings that led to a broken friendship.

          In our ICT class, we can’t admit that our teacher is a good one. She’s patient, supportive and also she can easily get along with us. It’s like she’s our big sister. She give her lesson very well, she always assure us that we’ve done or learn something in every single that that we have our class.

          ICT or Information Communication Technology, as one of our subjects it really gives us a great help. We are now in a modern world. So we should learn some of these things that will help us today and in the future.

My HERO

          TEACHERS, they are the ones whom we can call our second mothers, because they are taking care of us when were in school. For me, teachers are not just the people who give us lessons, they can also be our sister, brother and they can also be our bestfriends. But do you agree with me that they can be heroes that we should be proud and thankful of?

          Eventhough our teachers don’t have any powers like other super heroes that we watched from movies and televisions. Come to think of it those super heroes are just created by man using their imaginations.  But our teachers are real, we can talk to them, share problems and ask some help. So we should be thankful to them because even if we’re naughty and noisy sometimes, they always continue to teach us because they want us to have a good life in the future.  In times that we need them, for sure they will not make a second thought to help us, as long as they can do it. I am very thankful that there are many teachers I met who mould me and became part of my life.

          My teacher, my hero. Thank you and I love you.

How breastfeeding essential to babies.

          It's been a concern that many children died because of the complication and lack of nutrients in their body. And as a student, I also want to share my thoughts about this, to let other people how important and helpful breastfeeding can be.

          Breastfeeding is very essential in the growth and development of babies, because it has different nutrients that the body needs. Those minerals and vitamins are very significant in every baby. This can also be very helpful for the children to resist some diseases and it can make the body stronger. If the mother breastfeeds his new born baby, they can also have good bonding to each other. And mothers can save money in breastfeeding, instead of using formulas that can consume time and money in buying those milk. Every mother should think the positive effects of breastfeeding.The health care professional can play a key role in preventing illnesses by effectively supporting. The promotion and support of breastfeeding should be a high priority for family physicians. To be effective in this effort, the clinician should focus on the issue from the preconception stage through pregnancy and delivery, and continue in subsequent infant care.

          "Isulong ang Breastfeeding, tama, sapat at eksklusibo." Everyone should support this program, for the sake of those new born babies.

Aiming for a change

Dear Mr. President,

             As I have given the chance to give a letter to you sir; I just want to tell you the things that I observed that something is wrong and asking you to resolve and find answers to it.
             You said before that you also want some changes from the past administration in our country. You also want to stop the corruption and the misdeed of some government officials who are using their power to steal the money of the country. And this is one of the main reasons why Filipino people experience poverty. All of us don't want to just give our money that we worked hard for, to those people who continue stealingj it. How I wish that those people will be caught! So that our reputations and our dignity for this country will not just wasted by those people.
             We all know that we are not all the same standard in our community, there are rich, some are at the middle and we can't deny that there are also less fortunate in our country. As a Filipino citizen I'm also concern on the things happening aroud me. We knew that there are many crimes happening know, and maybe it was the done by those people who are only just seeking for something to have throughout a day. And, if there is just enough jobs for those people, I think the number of crimes will lessen. This also may lead to the progress of our country.
               "A good leader is also a good follower", before promoting anything else. Start within yourself so that everyone can see that you are well-displined too. We are all aming for a change, something new and something essential to the progress for our country. Thank you sir, I am hoping that you can solve the problems and limitations in our country.

                                                                                                                            Respectfully yours,
                                                                                                                            Joan Pauline Pimentel
