BATAC CITY—Teachers can now access e-books, researches and lecture materials under the new mobile application that the Batac City Schools Division recently launched.


The mobile app designed for android phones is one of the division’s top banners this year as it continues to promote the utilization of information and communications technology (ICT) in the academic arena.

“Our division is one of the few, if not the first, to have a mobile application like this,” John Paul Viernes, learning resource management officer, said.

Upon visiting the application, the user is provided with complete information about the schools and heads including their contact details.

Because it is a technology-based instructional material, teachers can gather appropriate and well-evaluated learning resources that can aid them in the teaching-learning process in just one click.

Vilma D. Eda, schools division superintendent, said the app is the answer to the growing demand of computer literacy and modernization.

“We must excel in our endeavor to deliver quality and relevant education to our school children. We must make any sacrifice to give them what they need,” said Ms. Eda.

Aside from the materials, the app also previews a live stream of the posts made in the CSDB in their Facebook page where bulletins, office and division memorandums are posted.

For the students, the application is also equipped with support materials that can be used for gathering information like a web-based dictionary and other relevant resources.

“Since ICT in education is growing in demand as manifested by the revolutionary developments in computer technology, the application includes accessible features which are very beneficial to all the division personnel, school heads, and teachers,” Ms. Eda added.

During the launching, Ms. Eda challenged the students and teachers to continue taking steps to keep in stride with the digital age so that they will not be left behind.


“Do well in your ICT-based action researches. Don’t let anyone do it for you. We learn best when we do something independently,” she stressed.

By
MARCOS, Ilocos Norte—Taking pride of this town ’s favorite Ilo cano dish, locally known as pinakbet, a mix of indigenous vegetables steamed in fish sauce, residents here ushered the opening of the third Pinakbet festival. “Pinakbet” came from the contracted Ilokano word ‘pinakebbet ’ which means “ shrunk ” or “shriveled.” As a way of thanksgiving, the Pinakbet festival is a repository of the town ’ s “ani” [harvest] festival being celebrated every month of March but this was later moved to December to accommodate more balikbayans wanting to join the festivity. Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops.
