The MEGUMI Reader

The Megumi Reader started as a project of the only Pinoy ever to be Rotary International President MAT Caparas.

The Department of Education (DepEd) has announced that it is adopting the Megumi to help improve teaching-learning process in the classrooms.

Education Secretary Jesli Lapus says that the gadget will help assist the non-readers among elementary pupils and promote literacy.

This Filipino-made electronic book is a low-cost, portable, simple-to-use device that can accommodate content for more than one learning area and can be used for multiple languages.

Designed for the safe use of children, the Megumi Reader is highly interactive and has no moving parts.

It was also learned from the Department of Education (DepEd) that this gadget dubbed "Megumi Reader" was further developed by the Partners for Universal Literacy or PULL Foundation.

The press report disclosed that the Megumi-reader is another project of the DepEd through its Adopt-A-School Program which facilitates the mobilization of resources and interventions from the private sector to improve education in public schools.

Education Secretary Jesli Lapus said that "the Megumi Reader is a breakthrough in our effort to integrate technology in enhancing the teaching-learning process. Its interactive features and versatility will help develop our pupils meta-cognitive skills- the ability to learn how to learn".

It was further learned that the PULL Foundation is looking forward for its success "so we can make this available to all public elementary schools nationwide".

The Manila Ocean Park

I was with my Tita, my father and pamangkins last Wednesday at the Oceanarium. I've been there before (as I previously posted in the month of march...) but since my aunt visited Manila from Boston, we deemed it necessary to bring her there.

These are just some of the exotic fishes you would see inside...

Lipstick Fish
Rock Fish

Seahorse
Spider Crab

A visit to Bohol wouldn't be complete without seeing the tarsier...

Panglao beaches... Pretty Nice huh? =)

There is something about being away in a place as beautiful as Bohol... If you could, visit the place and stay longer....

Good Morning Good Morning. =)

My trip to Cebu and Bohol was really fun! For one, my nephew was with me and that made a big difference. There were lots of pictures taken and so many highlights to share but that will be for later. I still have to reduce the size of the photos before uploading them. And I have tons of things to do around here before my aunt from Boston visits.

Hopefully, will be back later...
