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.
