T-Minus 3 Quarters

          

We are already nearing the end of the first quarter of this school year, time really does fly by. I can say that it has been enjoyable and interesting, our teacher is very nice and good at teaching and explaining instructions. It’s only the beginning but I have already learned so much, this includes the internet’s history, internet tools & services, data types, blogging and its types, how to create my own blog, the world wide web, search engines, internet access, and data rate units. For me, the lesson I really enjoyed and learned a lot from is blogging, I learned how to create my own blog where I can post articles or reflections like this. I thought it was going to be difficult because I thought we needed to know how to code or things of the sort. But no, anyone with knowledge about the basics of blogging and posting can create a potentially successful blog.

            As regards to any issues I have encountered this quarter, I would say that there are two. The first one is the blog site having glitches here and there, and example of this is when I try to move a picture, it refuses to move to the desired area and messes up the texts. The second and last relevant issue I faced is the lack of customization options, the site offers beautiful templates but it can be difficult to make you blog stand out or look appealing. Now for how I solved these problems. I simply just learned more about the site while working with it for a month or so. It just proves that we can learn many things along the way and the failures we experience can serve as a lesson in the future. 

    Moving on, I will use the knowledge I gained from this quarter to achieve big things in the following quarters or even the following years of my life. Learning more about the internet and blogging really contributed to sharpening my creativity and skills in writing. Being a student blogger helps me connect with others using my posts and commenting on other students’ blogs as well. Blogging has helped me go out of my comfort zone and experience new things. Overall, this quarter has been really informative and joyful, I look forward to the following quarters of my last year as a junior high school student and learning more and more about technology every day.

Kaya ngayong Pasko

It is common knowledge to all of us that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our social lives in a negative way. The prohibition of mass gatherings and festivals has affected the way we celebrate occasions, one of them being Christmas. Personally, Christmas is my favorite holiday because it is the season of giving and spending time with your loved ones. Before the pandemic we would celebrate it by having programs at school or at our workplaces, attending “ Misa de Gallo ” or “simbang gabi”, having Noche Buena or going out of town. With the pandemic, we have to find other ways to experience the Christmas cheer.             We spent the previous Christmas during the pandemic and this year we’ll do it again. Though mass gatherings aren’t allowed, we still celebrate it with other people, for example our family and neighbors. One challenge that many families faced is not having relatives from abroad come home and celebrate the holiday with them because of quarantine. But other from that,

Uno Filipino

Since the beginning of the pandemic last 2020, life has been different for everyone in the world. The Filipinos, especially those who are less fortunate have suffered from COVID-19. From the lost jobs, lost loved ones, closed businesses, gatherings prohibited, and schools put on pause, the pandemic has really impacted our country for the worst. Even if it is called the “new normal”, it will never feel natural to live in a Philippines where you can’t go out and eat with your friends, go to school, or even celebrate Noche Buena with your loved ones. It really is a shame that we haven’t defeated it yet but, together, we will find a way. When we talk about the resiliency in the Philippines in relation to the pandemic, I can say it needs some work. Our government has implemented various levels of quarantine and different protocols, but a year has already passed by since the beginning of the pandemic and the only real progress we’ve had is having 22.4% of the population vaccinat

Quality Education in a Distance

Since the beginning of the pandemic in March of 2020, mass gatherings have been prohibited. So in person classes have been put on a hold to ensure the safety of the learners, teachers, and staff. This lead to the school year 2019-2020 ending abruptly, meaning most if not all schools got to have their finals or year-end celebrations such as recognition programs and graduations. Despite the deadly virus, our government needed to find a way to continue learning while still ensuring the students’ safety, so they came up with distance learning. Thus, a new school year with a new mode of learning has begun.             Distance learning is a mode of education where the students learn in their homes instead of going to in person school. There are three types of distance learning, modular distance learning (MDL), online distance learning (ODL), and TV/Radio-based instruction. The school I’m learning in specifically chose blended learning, where both modular and online learning are done. How
