That's One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for a Student

    After nine long months, my junior high school life is ultimately coming to an end. Four quarters and numerous modules later, we've finally made it to where we are now. This quarter felt shorter and a ton more stressful compared to the previous ones. Excitement, joy, stress, anxiety, and exhaustion, are all the feelings I have due to the implementation of expanded face-to-face classes. But the excitement of seeing my classmates and teachers was undoubtedly overpowering the other negative emotions. 
    When I saw the fourth quarter lessons for the first time, everything began to make complete sense. Being hands-on was the priority of the last tasks. We learned how to use Microsoft Frontpage, an app used to create online pages without having to worry about coding. Adding buttons and pages was a pleasant experience, and having them work is also a delight. The app's usefulness is evident because I haven't encountered difficulties while making my Community-Based Research page. Though it can get glitchy when I transfer my files from home to the computer lab, with a little bit of patience and thinking, we can fix anything. Seeing the end product of my hard work relieved any sense of stress I had beforehand.
    Moving on, I will use my newfound knowledge in blogging, web design, coding, and community-based research to produce beautiful and comprehensive online pages. This school year has further broadened my comprehension of the internet and showed me its perplexing possibilities. I will forever keep a place for ICT in my heart until I grow old and have difficulty handling technology. My JHS life would feel incomplete without this subject and, most importantly, the faces behind it.

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

Image
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
