what does it takes to be an ict student

                    ICT is a valuable tool to enhance teaching and learning. For teachers ICT is a professional resource, a mode of classroom delivery, and a source of valid and valuable text types. For students, ICT provides opportunities to communicate more effectively and to develop literacy skills including skills in critical literacy.
                      It is a valuable tool for researching, composing and responding, and viewing and representing in English.
However, if all students are to have the opportunity to develop ICT skills and achieve English syllabus outcomes, issues of equity and access to technology must be addressed.

my dream my future

                                              

Some individuals decide to become police officers when they are very young, while others come to the realization later. Either way, there are number of steps to be taken if someone wants to become a police officer, and the earlier you get started, the better. A career in public service can be diverse, challenging, and fulfilling for those who are able to makeit through the highly competitive process.                                                                                If someone wants to become a police officer, he or she should start with education. Police departments require a basic high school education, and additional training such as an Associates or Bachelors degree is recommended. A number of colleges offer criminal justice programs for individuals interested in becoming a police officer. Most of these programs involve education in human behavior, legal issues, computer systems, and a variety of other subjects which assist law enforcement officers. The more advanced your training, the more successful your application as a police officer will be. This training will also serve you well in the field.

and this is my dream :*

CHANGE: IT STARTS WITH ME

As we enter the new year, we need to start it off right and the place where we need to start first is change within Us!

We can never get to a place where change is no longer needed. Anyone believing they have already arrived and feel change is no longer needed, they have already learned enough, is a person who has chosen to stop growing. Therefore, I am asking you to understand that change is necessary and stretch your borders wide and set your heart to receive the word of God and change. God is expecting more from us!

KANAWIDAN:THE YLOCOS FESTIVAL

ILOCos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture. However,  it is observed that many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano culture are no longer familiar with the younger generations. Children of today prefer the modern and novelty dances they see on television shows than the traditional ones.

There is a need to preserve our rich heritage and unique culture. With this in mind, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur has conceived a festival that highlights these culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourists as well. Dubbed the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, it is also a commemoration of the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province.

A royal decree dated February 2, 1818 separated   Ylokos. The northern part became Ilocos Norte while the southern part became Ilocos Sur which then included the northern part of La Union and all of what is now the province of Abra. In 1854, the province of La Union was created out of the towns that had heretofore belonged to Ilocos Sur and Pangasinan. Soon thereafter, Abra likewise became independent.

On January 29, Kannawidan Ylocos opened with a celebrated mass held at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral followed by a procession of the patron saints of the 40 parishes as well as images of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary around the province’s capital city, a testament to the deep rooted religiosity of the Ilocanos.

equal rights; equal opportunity...

Equal opportunity is a stipulation that all people should be treated similarly, unhampered by artificial barriers or prejudices or preferences, except when particular “distinctions can be explicitly justified. The aim according to this often "complex and contested concept" is that important jobs should go to those “the most qualified”––persons most likely to perform ably in a given task––and not to go to persons for arbitrary or irrelevant reasons, such as circumstances of birth, upbringing, friendship ties to whoever is in power, religion, sex, ethnicity, race, caste. or “involuntary personal attributes” such as disability, age, or sexual preferences. Chances for advancement are open to everybody interested such that they have “an equal chance to compete within the framework of goals and the structure of rules established.” The idea is to remove arbitrariness from the selection process and base it on some “pre-agreed basis of fairness, with the assessment process being related to the type of position,” and emphasizing procedural and legal means. It is opposed to nepotism and plays a role in whether a social structure is seen as legitimate. People with differing political viewpoints see it differently.The concept is debated in fields such as political philosophy, sociology and psychology. It is being applied to increasingly wider areas beyond employment.  including lending, housing, college admissions, voting rights, and elsewhere.

In the classical sense, the equality of opportunity is closely aligned with the concept of equality before the law and ideas of meritocracy.

Generally the terms “the equality of opportunity” and “equal opportunity” are interchangeable, with occasional slight variations: “the equality of opportunity” has more of a sense of being an abstract political concept, while “equal opportunity” is sometimes used as an adjective, usually in the context of employment regulations, to identify an employer, a hiring approach, or law. Equal opportunity provisions have been written into regulations and have been debated in courtrooms. It is sometimes conceived as a legal right against discrimination. It is an ideal which has become increasingly "widespread" in Western nations during the last several centuries and is intertwined with social mobility, most often with upward mobility rags to riches stories:

Mother tongue

Mother tongue education?

Mother tongue education is the idea that a learner is taught the fundamental concepts of a topic in their first language.  Once they learn these concepts they can easily reapply them to an English education stream.  The idea being that children absorb concepts easily in their own familiar languages and can gain a fundamental understanding of them.  But in a second language they simply become words that are learnt, but not absorbed. If you where to create two groups of students both learning a topic such as Math’s or Science, one group learning in their mother tongue and the other in a second language. The group that learnt the fundamentals in their mother tongue will have a better grounding or fundamental understanding of the subject than those who learnt it in a second language.  This is true even if the mother tongue learners change to being taught in the second language later in the experiment.  Clearly it is extremely important that the grounding of learners be made in their mother tongue if they are to reach their full potential.
