My life as a Teacher

"A good Teacher is like a candle, it consumes itself to light the way of others."

Live Without Pretending

Live without pretending, love without depending, listen without defending, speak without offending.
Live without pretending... Live a life full of being yourself, and yourself only. Life is way too short to try and live as someone else. Make the decisions that best represent you, and who you really are at your heart's deepest levels, never succumb to the pressures of society and the people around you in regards to making decisions that aren't representative of decisions that you want to make.

Love without depending... Make sure the relationships that you enter into help build both you and the other person involved. If a relationship is unequally yoked one person will always get the short end of the stick while the other may be getting more than they deserve.

Listen without defending... There will come times in everyone's life that they are offered criticisms that will help them to build. This is the kind of criticism we have to be able to hear and listen to so that we may possibly reach our potential.

Speak without offending. Make great efforts not to offend, and keep in mind if you have nothing constructive to say to help a person, maybe it is something that just shouldn't be said at all.

TEACHER ♥

The Teacher

She must wake up early in the morning
To do her chores especially the cooking
She must rush to school to be in duty
Or else she might be tardy

She must do her lesson plan
And must cope up with the Deadlines
She must do all the works
Even if it is late and dark

The students are noisy, what a mess?
They don't listen , what a nuisance
They get zero during speed test or quizzes
And if they fail they protest

Oh! How difficult to be a teacher
So many works like a researcher
No time to enjoy life luxuries
They must work for the students future

Friends , let us understand how a teacher be
Always teaching like a bee
We must consider their hardships
To have good student for worthy leaderships.
 

 

~A poem to all teacher~

Every Decision You Make Affects Your Life

Even one small drop can make a ripple in the water, and one small decision can affect your life in the simplest way.
The decisions that we make on a daily basis are the decisions that make our legacies, if we are even making one at all. Are you deciding to become better each day? Do you continually raise your standards, and set the bar higher and higher for yourself as each day comes to you? Or do you follow the same routine daily, and sit and wait for something in life to come to you, to change your life?

If you do the latter, then chances are, you may never make it to the places in life that you are destined to enter into. When we think about our own lives, we have to kind of compare them to things that are alive as well. For instance, if a plant isn't growing and thriving, what else could it be doing but turning brown, losing its necessary nutrients to thrive, so that it may only start the process of dying.

If you aren't growing and becoming better in everything that you do each day, then you, like the plant, are just on your way to dying. Start living, thrive, take humungous action each day, and use your faith in God to guide you!

Life is what we make it!

Life is a journey we take
its a hill we climb
a river we swim
a ground we play
and a road we tread;

Life is a shelter of storms
shaken by thunder when it rains
shattered into pieces by strong winds
and oftentimes, drown in raging waves;

But life is also a rainbow after the rain
when sun shines after a day of doom
spreading rays of beaming hope
painting a smile on a face of gloom;

It’s what life really is…
a spice of smile and tears
a blend of fate, triumph and loss
but always, a magic of love and hope…

Whitewater Rafting In Cagayan de Oro

Whitewater Rafting is a recreational activity utilizing a raft to navigate a river or other bodies of water. This is usually done on whitewater or different degrees of rough water, in order to thrill and excite the raft passengers. The development of this activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the mid 1970s.

Whitewater Rafting in the Philippines

Tracing back the roots:

Whitewater Rafting in the Philippines originally started as a “hobby” by a group of outdoor sports enthusiasts organized by the Cagayan de Oro Whitewater Rafting Adventure (CDOWRRA) sometime in the month of June year 1995 led by Mr. Rupert M. Domingo and his group with the goal of introducing whitewater rafting sport in the country. However, the group has been involved in river expeditions and explorations; it took 10 years for Mr. Domingo and his partner Julius Bioco to transform their passion into a thriving business serving local and foreign clients. From 1985 to 1995, they surveyed the river by sections, making repeated crossing on inflated tire tubes or crude floats made of banana trunks. Painstakingly, they identified the different channels and stretches of the river. Studying the characteristics and honing their skills in paddling the wild rapids of Cagayan de Oro River to perfection.

Cagayan de Oro Whitewater Rafting

Cagayan de Oro City is home to some of the most scenic and exhilarating whitewater rafting and dubbed as the “adventure capital” in the Philippines.

Rafting Adventure Philippines (RAP) formerly the Cagayan de Oro Whitewater rafting Adventure (CDOWWRA), the PIONEER and most respected Cagayan de Oro river rafting outfitter, has been providing top quality river rafting trips since 1995. A whitewater rafting trip combined with any of the area’s many outdoor activities; provide the basis for a fun and memorable vacation. On our river rafting trips, you will meet other people who enjoy being outdoors along the spectacular Cagayan de Oro River, bask in the splendor of the lust vegetation scenery, pause for a moment while cruising the calm waters and embrace Mother Nature, and have time to mingle with the friendliest river guides to enjoy a Cagayan de Oro river rafting adventure.

It is the gateway of the northern Mindanao. This Philippine city resembled something close to a picturesque, rural town just a few years back. In recent days though, Cagayan de Oro – or CDO, as most of the other Pinoys are wont to call it – has experienced a rather startling makeover, pushing the bar between a rural-urban hybrids, where downtown certainly looks the part while the suburbs are the most secluded gated subdivisions one could ever try trekking to.

The heart of the city harnesses a serene welcome of suburban people. A simple jeep ride is enough to demonstrate this fact. From the downtown divider Divisoria, a jeep en route to the airport takes you up Carmen Hill, a sprawling mini-mountain with impressive scenery and natural formations such as the Historic Macahambus Cave and Macahambus Adventure Park in the barangay of Lumbia. Nearby is the Ateneo de Cagayan college of Agriculture, which can give you a view of expansive tracts of land geared towards the development of agri-tech expertise in the country.

Apparently, there are few things that the City is famous for…

This is my life

Life defines in Metabolism,
In reproduction,
we make our miniature selves,
our look alike
In the power of adaptation,
like what is in now,
What is fashionable,
how I blend with all of you
How I mimic you,
how I become a clown to you,

Life in being nice
This is my life A short and a merry one
This my life In the middle of my own life
To life,
a life,
in the hope of discovering the meaning of my life,
My speech my poetry
Come to life with me
To the life,
for the life of one like me,
Not taking this life in my own hands,
Never,
never,
To life,
this is life
As big as life
as large as life is large
In resiliency,
in elasticity
Animations, cartooning, animate,
I vivify
I vilify
I quicken
I liken
The life force in my life’s functions
Drawn from life
to life drawn
Dream to life a life full of dreams
This liveliness, this sparkle
This effervescence of life,
this bubbling life like wine
This sprightliness like soft
Drink like energy drinks
This verve,
this vigor
this vivacity
Of life to life as big as life
My life
This is my life
This me I am life
I am energy
i am in this poem trying to run
away from everything in my life,
running in life
to life and life,
because of life,
for life.

Ecosystem Services and Sustainability

What are Ecosystem Services?

♥ Most of us spend the bulk of our lives in human-made houses, office buildings, factories, cars, and other artificial environments that insulate us from raw nature.

• Control and moderate.
• Provide us with and renew air, water, and soil.
• Recycle vital nutrients through chemical cycling.
• Provide us with renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and nonrenewable minerals.
• Furnish us with food, fiber, medicines, timber, and paper.
• Pollinate crops and other plant species.
• Absorb, dilute, or detoxify many pollutants and toxic chemicals.
• Help control populations of pests and disease organisms.
• Slow soil erosion and help prevent flooding.
• Provide the biodiversity of genes and species needed to adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions through evolution and genetic engineering.

Why is Biodiversity such an important Ecosystem Service?

♥ The result of these changes is Biological Diversity or Biodiversity : the many forms of life the conditions currently found on earth.

• Genetic Diversity

• Species Diversity

• Ecological diversity

♥ Another term for diversity is wildness : the existence of wild gene pools, species, and ecosystems that are completely or mostly undistributed by human activities.

What are the two basic principles of Ecosystem Sustainability?

1. By using renewable solar energy as their energy source and...

2. By recycling reasonably efficiently the nutrients its organisms need for survival, growth, and reproduction .

Why is an understanding of Ecology essential for Environmental Studies?

♥ We have seen that the essential features of the living and nonliving parts of individual ecosystems, and of the ecosphere as a whole, are interdependence and connectedness. Without the services performed by diverse communities of species, we would be starving, gasping for breath and drowning in our own wastes.

“The problem of human future range far beyond ecology, yet ecology is an essential part of them.”

- Robert H. Whitaker

ICT Policy For Kenya

WHAT ARE ICTs?

ICTs ARE TECHNOLOGIES FOR:

• PROCESSING INFORMATION (PRESENTING IT IN VARIOUS FORMS, STORING IT, SEARCHING FOR IT, REPRODUCING IT, ETC.)

• TRANSMITTING INFORMATION FROM ONE GEOGRAPHICAL POINT TO ANOTHER, FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER, TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE OR TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY

ICT Policy For Kenya

Scope of ICTs

Traditional ICTs

• The Printed Book

• Postal Service

• The Printed Press

• Film

• Radio and Television

• Recorded Music

ICT Policy For Kenya

New ICTs

• Telecommunications

• Computers

• The Internet

ICT Policy For Kenya

Convergence

• Technologies for the processing and transmission of information have began to use the same language or convergent.

• This is as a result of the process of digitalisation.

What is an ICT Policy?

• A policy is a program of planned activities to achieve a set of objectives.

• In many countries, national policies are formulated to achieve national development goals.

Why an ICT Policy?

• “PUBLIC INTEREST”

• Economic, Political and Social Cultural functions

Scope of an ICT Policy?

• ICT policy so as to apply to one or more categories of ICTs.

• A sectoral basis such as health, education or agriculture – sometimes referred to as vertical policies.

How Policies Formulated?

• Policy-making is a process

• normally involves the expression of conflicting interests.

• It is convenient to think of such interests as being represented by “actors” who engage in debate and decision-making.

• in appropriate locations or “fora” where decisions are made.

How is it implemented?

• Policies have to be expressed in specific rules or regulations which can be applied to guide and control activities of ICTs on practical basis.

• Regulations are devices for solving or avoiding some particular problem or issue of ICT Policy.

• They change their character and salience over time and from place to place.

How should is it Monitored?

• Policy - Why

• Strategy - What

• Implementation – How

How should is it Monitored?

• Not with standing the reasons why a country may select such objectives, in any particular sector or area, policies, strategies and implementation plans are respective responses to three main questions: why? What? And how.

ict policy in new zealand

New Zealand has the world's highest access to telecommunications per capita, with the cost of accessing the Internet being almost as low as it is in the United States. Research shows that New Zealanders are usually quick to embrace new technology. New Zealanders have been buying computers, signing up to Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and going online at an internationally impressive rate.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Strategy for Schools, 2002-2004 has been developed in consultation with schools, researchers, tertiary education providers, businesses, and others. It builds upon the achievements of the 1998 strategy (Interactive Education: An Information and Communication Technologies Strategy for Schools) and the lessons learnt from it. The ICT strategy recognises that to focus on technical skills alone is to limit the vision of ICT in education. Rather, the focus must be on extending and deepening educational experiences (and on sharing those experiences) to work towards further developing an innovative and thriving society.

The Second Information Technology in Education Study (SITES), an international research project New Zealand participated in, and The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Schools Survey was undertaken by the Information Technology Advisory Group (ITAG) and involved over three hundred schools. Research findings and feedback indicate that no single model will ensure that ICT is used to its greatest effect in every school. However, some key insights have emerged, useful in guiding the future developments of all countries:

Insights for future ICT developments

• Informed, high-quality leadership is essential. School leaders need to be committed to change and to support collaboration among teachers and the school community.
• Bringing about improvements, and embedding those improvements into day-to-day practices, takes time. However, short programmes are important because they raise awareness of ICT, generate enthusiasm, and clarify the roles of educational leaders in enhancing their school's teaching and learning. Short programmes are also valuable because they promote collegial support and the development of networks.
• When approaching ICT, teachers are sometimes oriented towards skill development. However, the acquisition of technical skills does not necessarily lead to critical and creative thinking or improved pedagogy. When identifying purposes for their ICT developments, successful schools appear to go beyond technology, drawing on their knowledge of how people learn, higher-order thinking, effective knowledge management, information literacy, teamwork, and self-evaluation.
• To transform their practice, teachers must have ready access to technology and be active, confident technology users with a desire to learn. They need to become researchers of their own practice.
• Teachers are most open to change when they have collegial support. The greatest benefits for teaching and learning appear to occur when teams of people work together, learn from each other, and have access to sustained support as they integrate ICT into their teaching.
• The "school-cluster" model has proved effective. Schools determine the model they will use, their needs and priorities, and their pace of work. Schools appreciate their autonomy, and this engenders a sense of ownership and responsibility.
• The amount of readily available information about how teachers include ICT within their classroom programmes is limited.
• The amount of readily available information about how students use ICT in their learning processes is limited.

Further areas for development include:

• developing leadership skills, because leaders and facilitators with a sound understanding of ICT and its use in teaching and learning are crucial to successful professional development;
• focusing on long-term goals and solutions rather than on short-term improvements;
• ensuring that classroom practice involving ICT is seamlessly linked to the curriculum;
• ensuring that newly qualified teachers have the skills and knowledge to begin using ICT effectively in their teaching and learning;
• developing and sharing information about ICT and how it links to the ways in which people learn, higher-order thinking, effective knowledge management, information literacy, problem solving, teamwork, and self-evaluation;
• enabling learners to critically evaluate material from the Internet for its authority, accuracy, and relevance to their task;
• considering how ICT can be used to its best effect at the senior-secondary level, given the pressure of qualifications;
• ensuring that the ICT infrastructure is able to respond to the educational demands for ICT;
• supporting partnerships and community initiatives.

Bearing all this in mind, the following plan has been developed:

Vision
The vision is:
for all students, irrespective of their backgrounds,

• to develop the knowledge, understandings, skills, and attitudes
• to participate fully in society,
• to achieve in a global economy,
• and to have a strong sense of identity and culture.

This vision will be achieved with the combined skills and leadership of teachers, principals, boards of trustees, Màori, students and their families and communities, tertiary education providers, businesses, and the government.

Principles
The following principles, which are drawn from The New Zealand Curriculum Framework, have guided the development of this ICT strategy. The strategy supports the Framework, which:

• establishes direction for learning and assessment in New Zealand schools;
• fosters achievement and success for all students;
• provides for flexibility, enabling schools and teachers to design programmes which are appropriate to the learning needs of their students;
• encourages students to become independent and life-long learners;
• recognises the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi;
• reflects the multicultural nature of New Zealand society;
• relates learning to the wider world.

Goal

The broad goal of the ICT strategy is:

• to enhance the development of
• students' knowledge, understandings, skills, and attitudes
• through the appropriate and effective use of ICT.

Subgoals

The following subgoals will contribute to achieving the broad goal:

• Learners - to enable learners to succeed to the best of their ability in the New Zealand Curriculum;
• Teachers - to support and develop education professionals so that they are able to effectively use ICT for teaching, learning, and classroom management;
• Màori - to improve the educational experiences of tauira Màori (Màori students) and the educational outcomes for them and to expand their opportunities to embrace their tikanga, te reo Màori, and other capabilities and to participate fully at home and abroad;
• Leaders - to support and enhance leaders' effective use of ICT in school learning, teaching, management, and administration;
• Infrastructure - to support the development of an effective, efficient, and appropriate ICT infrastructure;
• Families, communities, businesses, and other stakeholders - to effectively engage families, communities, businesses, and other stakeholders to enhance students' knowledge, understandings, skills, and attitudes.
