1st iSchools Camblog officially begins

So what do Einstein, Darwin, Berners Lee and Shakespeare got to do with the Ischools Campblog? Absolutely nothing.

But the organizers decided to use them anyway, if only to kick-off this ten day activity that will run from the 18th to the 28th of May 2009 at the Mimosa Leisure Estate here in Clarkfield, Pampanga.

Participants coming from the beneficiary Public High Schools (PHS), that stormed the venue, were to identify which from the four luminaries they could relate the closest or have the slightest similarity.

Turned out, the activity was to form four groups. As their first activity, participants were then assigned to think of anything that represent themselves. Using paints of varied colors, the participants drew on their complimentary bags. Their outputs were then displayed at the plenary hall for public viewing and, was lauded by no less than the commissioners of CICT herself, Atty. Consuelo S. Perez.

This affair is designed to tie-all the loose ends after the long stretch of trainings that the PHS went through. As an output, all participant teachers and students are to apply all lessons learned and come up, at the end of the training days, digital content that they will use as part of their curricular instruction.

This first ever campblog is hosted by Pampanga Agricultural College and is projected to become an annual activity by the Commission on Information and Communications Technology, the lead agency for the iSchools project.
