<br><br>Good day!!!<br>
<br>
Just to response in the recent mail of Mam Tessa.....<br>
Pardon me for the late reply. I regularly check my gmail account but<br>
you sent it in my email, so I failed to.... Great to see how the kids<br>
are doing. They really find enjoyment as they keep on learning and<br>
discovering more thru the XO. Awkward to admit, they are somewhat<br>
better than the CTs now.Learning is mutual indeed. We learn more from<br>
them. They are great in Etoys as I found out. There are cases that<br>
some programs/ activities are deleted,truly amazing, some kids are<br>
competent of downloading different Actrivties. Exagerated to say, we<br>
may not be needing Lloyd soon.... hahaha. Joke!!!<br>
<br>
Just a fruit of our online, group and invidual seassions before Dec. 6<br>
onwards....<br>
In Science, I use 2- 3day lesson plan. Days before the execution, I am<br>
encoding in my Xo the drill, activities, evaluation as well as science<br>
concepts. Maximizing the use of 19 usb storage device given by lloyd<br>
thru the assistance of the champion kids, those data are transferred<br>
to their journal. they all know how to use it. We often use XO in<br>
Science for about 20mins daily. Now, less chalk- talk and note<br>
writing. Some of their essays, reaction and output are encoded in the<br>
write activities. Science Journal is also in the XO. As their Third<br>
Quarter Project, they are downloading/ taking photos using Browse &<br>
Record Activities. They are still on the process of making it in<br>
Etoys. Pictures were pasted and captions about the illustration are to<br>
be written too. I was surprised of their animations and creativity as<br>
I supervise them in the making... Really marvelous...<br>
<br>
We are just done with the Demonstration on the use of XO yesterday<br>
with the presence of our benefactors, the NCC Team...<br>
<br>
<br>
Lets keep this spirit within us. Keep you posted... See you soon.<br>
Godbless...<br>
