To what do we attribute this performance?

• First, our success is attributed to God for if you “ask the Lord to bless your plans . . . you will be successful in carrying them out” (Prov. 16:3); the CED Dean and the Intel Teach implementers are persons who are after God’s heart, and so, are beloved and blessed by Him (Col. 3:33)

• Second, our Implementation Plans for AY 2005-2006 became our blueprint for success

To what do we attribute this performance?

• Third, our commitment to train resulted in producing the biggest number of Intel Teach implementers and the biggest number of pre-service teachers trained in Intel Teach

• Fourth, having an ICT training team composed of a “special breed” of teachers so that by the end of the First Semester, AY 2005-2006, we accomplished about 90% of our Implementation Plans

To what do we attribute this performance?

• Fifth, synergy or synergism• Sixth, designation of an Educational

Technologist as Media Coordinator • Seventh, knowing “who” the members of

the ICT training are, their forte and competence was the key in the speed and ease with which we were able to conduct “non-stop” training.

Our Strategies• Curriculum review and re-aligning subjects

with the Intel Teach to the Future Pre-service Curriculum

• Curriculum revision

• Reduced class size for classes doing Intel Teach

• Regrouping of classes

Our Strategies• Assigning Ed 105 to specialists of the

different departments

• Linkages and alliance building

• Scaffolding

Scaffolding• Survey of readiness for Intel Teach• Free computer literacy sessions• Pairing the computer literate with the

computer illiterate• Pairing students taking the same degree

Scaffolding• Requesting approval for the use of ICT

facilities overnight or beyond office hours• Faculty members’ use of the computers at

the ICT laboratory for free• Improving our ICT infrastructure• Encouraging in-house trained faculty
