Beneficiary school reps attend Ischools Sustainability workshop
Representatives across sixteen beneficiary schools in Region III attend Sustainability Planning Workshop at the Central Luzon State University last October 23-25, 2007 through the auspices of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), the lead agency in the Ischools project.
Organized by the partner SUCs Tarlac State University (TSU), Tarlac College of Technology (TCA), and Central Luzon State University (CLSU), all 41 participants in the 3 day activity were engaged in planning for a sustainable implementation of the project.
Randy Catacutan, Project Manager from TSU was quoted as saying, “the core of the project is not only to empower the schools and their communities towards computer literacy if only to truly bridge the digital divide”, he adds, “it is also necessary that the schools become partners in charting the success of this project by way of eliciting sound alternatives and prospects from the participants of this activity that the commission may find relevant.”
The workshops include a community needs analysis module as vital component in the business plan of the beneficiary schools should the project come in full swing anytime soon. Based from this initial assessment, the participant schools were to choose whether they intend to use their computer laboratories for E-eskwela, as a Training Center for their faculty and the community or a combination of the two.
Workshop revealed however that most of the participants are inclined to put up a training center which will open the laboratory to the public so it can generate income to cover the usual overhead expenditures like power cost, maintenance and among other reasons. Only three of the schools opted to use the laboratories as a training center and use its hardware for the E-eskwela program of their school.

CICT hosts online writing seminar for ischools partners
The Commission on Information and Communications Technology held an online writing seminar last Nov. 14-16, 2007 at Hillside Resort Puerto Princesa, Palawan with representatives from partner State Colleges and Universities (SUCs) attending.
Anchored on the ischools project of the commission, the seminar is intended to train the partner SUCs in writing news, features, opinion and columns, post pictures and many others online relevant to the progress of the project.
Yvonne Chua, from UP Diliman, and Luz Rimban, from the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, were the invited speakers and trainers for the whole duration of the program. They gave inputs on how best to utilize and maximize online technology in journalistic writings which will come in handy especially when the ischool project starts in full swing anytime soon.
As the highlight of the activity, the participants were asked to design their own institutional blogs where all the outputs of the three-day activity will be posted. It was also explained that the blogs of the partner institutions will be used as readily accessible means of keeping tabs on the progress of the projects across the archipelago.
The activity was organized by Prof. Nilo Banlawe of Palawan State University, and the ischools Project Manager in the same institution.
