Make a Difference: Nominate a school for Free 50 laptops from Charter

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.



I was a former teacher in the Philippines. Just like any other ordinary teacher, I also dreamed and wished for a quality education in my country.

I never thought that one day I could help my school to soar high from the advancement of technology in the classroom. It was very impossible to acquire computers in any school in my country at that time. Way back 2004, some teachers and staff or even school administrators hated that idea of teaching using computers we called it Information and Communication Technology Integration. They were so pessimistic about it. One of their biggest worries was how to use it. Other feedback was where to get funds to support the project? Contribution from parents was a bad idea and nobody would spend money for that purpose.

My contribution our school and division, region and my country was started when I joined the First Philippine Innovative teachers’ leadership award and one of the 25th finalists. We were trained to mentor teachers on how to innovate and integrate ICT in the classroom. Then we went back to our respective stations and re-echoed what we have learned. With the help of the parents, community and other organization the supports ICT in education, our school received 10 computers, multimedia projector, printers, etc. Then another batch of computers came from difference sources. Before I left the school and moved to United States, they already have 30 computers with a computer laboratory and ICT learning center. Last month, I was updated by their additional computers with LCD monitors and upgraded software.

At present, I worked in one of the Elementary school here for a year now. The school have computer laboratory but some classrooms have few computers (good and bad conditions).

Yes, you are right, I nominated my school for a laptop-a-day giveaway from Charter (50 laptops to two schools). If you are interested and would like to order any of Charter Services, it will give you a chance to win and get cash back up to $300 or you can register online with no purchase.
