Joy Sanchez, Division Coordinator on
Kindergarten urgently requested the appearance of DIC in her office prior to
the arrival of Ramadhan 2013. She revealed that 4 elementary schools in Indanan
South District will be recipients of e-Classroom under DepED Computerization.
Every selected school Program launched by DepED Central Office. Every selected
school will be given 6 computer units power by only 1 CPU with 1-year free
internet connection and other ICT facilities provided the school can afford to
show some counterpart requirements. Confirmation of every e-Classroom recipient
school was immediately needed by the e-Class Coordinator. Accordingly, the
facilities and installation would be arriving after Ramadhan so long as the
school would meet the requirements. In the event any school fails to produce
the said requirements, all e-Class facilities will be brought back to the DepED
Central Office.
Except Panglima Mammah Elementary School, the
rest could hardly disclose their firm decisions. TIC of Timbangan Elementary
School was stunned with a reason that the entire neighborhood of Barangay
Timbangan was suffering from Sulu Electric Cooperative (SULECO) disconnection
caused by their unpaid electric bill worth hundred thousands. Similarly, Sitti
Palman I. Mohammad former Principal of Poblacion Elementary School faced the
same issues on electricity like what Timbangan experienced. Head Teacher – III of
Pasil Elementary School positively assured that counterpart requirements were
not burden for Pasil Elementary School. Thus, Mrs. Sanchez handed to them the
guidelines for the preparation of e-Classroom Program as follows:
- Classroom should be 9 meters x 7 meters or approximately 63 sq. m. in floor area and should be ready to house two Host PC and Six Computer Terminals.
- Four computer tables: 1. Two 4.8 x 0.8 meters; 2. One 1.8 x 0.8 meters; and one 0.5 x 0.8 meters
- Fifty pieces of mono chairs
- Two units of stand fan
- Sufficient lighting
- Window and door grills
- Proper electrical wirings with circuit breaker
- Standard electrical outlets with appropriate load capacity
- Electrical grounding
- Cables for the
ceiling
- Mounted projector
- One VGA cable (15
meters) – a VGA cable is a lead used for transmitting video signals. It is most
commonly used to link computers with monitors. However, it is now used on some
high definition televisions.
Note: Aircon is NOT REQUIRED.
In as much as Masdida M. Sarabi is
newly-designated TIC of a big school, Timbangan ES, the DIC decided to visit
her school for assistance. He asked the TIC about the full details of issues
and concerns of Timbangan ES in relation to the preparation for e-Classroom. Afterwards,
he provided the TIC with some strategic actions to optimistically resolve the
issues. After three days, Mrs. Sarabi raised her thumb up as she saw the DIC
coming again to her school. She gladly informed the DIC that SULECO would be
ready to reconnect electricity to every consumer’s house. Aside from it, PTCA
officers and other members were busy constructing tables required by e-Class.
What awesome initiative and potentials of newly-installed TIC!
Further, the DIC visited Sitti Palman I.
Mohammad, ESP – I of Poblacion Elementary School where he heard pessimistic
expectation from the principal concerning the realization of e-Classroom in
said school. It took time for the DIC to motivate and convince the principal
for the alternative courses of action that must be done. Luckily, Timbangan ES
success for the preparation of e-Class counterparts gradually made Ms. Mohammad
to try it in her school. Fifty percent of the preparation was almost done when
she was reassigned to head Panglima Indanan Central School last July 30, 2013
and Alyasir A. Hussam, former TIC of Dayuan-Manilop Primary School took the
full school leadership authority in Poblacion Elementary School. Two days ago,
the TIC related to the DIC what he did in connection with the preparation for
e-Class. It seemed that was very pleasant to ears as the TIC stating the full
details of his efforts. He concluded that Poblacion would be now ready for the
arrival of e-Class. Another fantastic TIC!
Faisal A. Kadil was just installed last year to
oversee Pasil Elementary School when the DIC accepted the District Turn-over
made by retired Supervisor, Hji. Abdulgafor J. Madjaluddin last July 16, 2012.
Regardless of his insufficient administrative experience, Mr. Kadil possessed
huge optimism that everything would be possible if focused-efforts to strive
for the attainment of goal would be there. With it, he was first to post at DOC
some photos of his counterpart requirements for the e-Class.
