Sourced from the town’s Special Education Fund, the municipal government here allocated about PHP940,000 for the purchase of 114 cameras to all schools in this first-class municipality.

The cameras, AverVision U50 5.0 megapixel features an auto focus lens up to 25-30 FPS live video capture, which students and teacher can use to project materials such as textbooks and other visual aid. It can also shoot clear pictures and videos.

“We are thankful to the local government unit of Vintar led by our Mayor Larissa C. Foronda for purchasing the equipment. With this, the teaching-learning process gets more interesting in Vintar schools,” said Ms. Domingo citing the cameras were distributed to 39 schools, 58 units to school in Vintar 1 and 56 units in schools in Vintar II.

For her part, Mrs. Foronda hopes the camera will serve as an important tool for teachers in improving and enhancing their lessons for better teaching and learning.

“This is a great help to teachers aligned with the five-point agenda of the Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Joann A. Corpuz, which is escalating ICT integration,” Leonilo A. Reginaldo, former public schools district supervisor said.
