Back to Teaching

My bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees are all in education, and I have explored all other fields especially when I shifted to computers and information technology from mathematics, English and the humanities. ICT encompasses all other fields, and to be hooked on it means spending lots of time to refresh my knowledge and skills and ride each new wave coming.

As a teacher, I have taught at different curriculum levels and have trained many teachers in the pedagogical aspects using ICT. The one thing I realized all these 30 years of teaching, educating and training is that despite all these new technologies and modern gadgets that we use today, it is still the human aspects - the emotional and spiritual quotients (or ESQ) - that we have to put above all. And the most basic and most important is LOVE - loving what we do, loving these children under our care, loving others more than ourselves, and loving God above all. ICT can bridge lives, unite and empower people, connect people from all over the world and those whose lives are separated by foreign work. Education is the key for responsible use of this powerful technology, so I see myself doing this in my new teaching job. I hope that my Classroom 2.0 membership will enable me to create a wholesome environment for my students with whom I intend to share its benefits.
