Living in this fast-paced life, a person hopes to catch up with the latest trend in the community. And the latest? Internet in public high schools.
It is indeed a glee to behold that Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC) http://www.nipsc.com/ in Estancia, Iloilo became a partner of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) in bringing this latest technology to the public high schools in the northern most part of the province of Iloilo.
Nestled in the shoreline of the town, NIPSC has a Laboratory High School (LHS) with almost 300 students. As one of the 320 public high school recipients in the country, it received 20 computer units together with the rest of the CICT package this year. These were installed on March 2008 at the classroom-turned-into-a-computer-room located at the NIPSC West Campus in the same municipality where the NIPSC LHS is located.
On April 2008, a five-day-training to almost 20 faculty and staff members of the NIPSC LHS was conducted by the NIPSC iSchools Project Team. Some of the trainees were in their 30s and 40s, yet some are just years away from retiring. “It is not easy to teach old dogs with new tricks,” as they say, yet the Team was able to encourage them to finish the training course.
“They were actively participating in all the activities given by asking questions. That really inspired me a lot to teach them because that showed they were interested.” said Miss Jennyrose V. Wenceslao, one of the Team trainers.
“When we were on Excel, all the groups were insisting on the correctness of their own grade computations, so I acted as referee. We all laughed when we discovered that each group has their own value for the percentage of the grade components so we just decided to have uniformity on it to end the feud. ” she added.

Gilds,

Wow, NIPSC is indeed getting better in technology. ICT is great tools for communication, skills upgrade for all NIPSCians through research and many more.
By the way, your link www.nipsc.com is misleading since it was not the genuine website of the school of Estancia. I hope later someone will create NIPSC's website.
