Countdown! [2015-05-01]

We’re less than two weeks away from our return to Cebu, so it’s time to start printing lists and planning schedules.  We are not expecting to do additional installations on this visit, so we can focus instead on spending time at each of the 14 schools that have the Reneal IEO system already in place in the Philippines.  We are very excited to reunite with Team Philippines and with the fantastic IT teachers at these schools!

A top priority is conducting system administration training for the IT teachers.  This training shows the teachers how to maintain the system and diagnose and fix any problems they encounter.  Neal and Reneal IEO intern Jade Reyes will lead that effort.  I am hoping to have trainings on the templates created for the brand new K-12 grading system just introduced by the Department of Education.  We also have a list of a few hardware and software issues to work, identified by Jade in his monthly call-around to the schools.  A two month visit seems like a long time, but I’m sure it will go by too fast!

Scouting for 2016 candidates will also be on the list.  Our ability to support additional schools rests on identifying sources of used computer equipment.  We are always looking for desktop computers, flat panel monitors, and laptops to place in schools.  We can use older equipment considered too slow for schools here in the US – see here for information on minimum specifications.  Please contact us for more information regarding possible donations!
