from the Microsoft Educators Community.
The Lubayat National High
School faculty conducted the re-
echo of the ICT Training Workshop
entitled “Empowering Education,
Inspiring Innovation” at Real
Central Elementary School, June
28.
It was a whole day training
facilitated by the School ICT
Coordinator of Lubayat NHS Mrs.
Lovelyn S. Peregrina and was
participated by 20 faculty members
of Lubayat NHS. The program
started at 7:30 in the morning and
ended at 5:00 in the afternoon. Her
discussion focused on the
importance of utilizing the
Microsoft Educator Community for
building sustainable professional
development. MEC is a Microsoft
online community offering free
trainings for everyone especially
teachers who continuously desire
to improve themselves by taking
up courses online and gaining
certificates right after finishing and
taking test about the program
undertaken.
The participants enjoyed
the short but empowering seminar.
Most of the teachers claimed it was
“addicting”.

They eagerly answered
some of the courses for beginners
and earned certificates and badges.
The facilitator challenged the
participating teachers to earn at

of courses taken until July 1 will be
given honors. For almost three

to accomplish some training and

ceremony at the Lubayat NHS.
Mrs. Aiza N. Leonidas was awarded
as the Third Honors for having
finished 34 courses, Mrs. Myla O.
Destajo as the Second Honors
having finished 54 courses, and Ms.
Erika Grace Ferreria who finished

Portales, the Asst. Principal of
Lubayat NHS together with
Teacher Love gave the awards to
the participants. All the teachers
were given certificates of
participation and their printed
certificates and transcripts to be
included in the RPMS as plus factor.
The teachers also committed that
they will still continue taking up
courses in the MEC even if the ICT
training is already finished.
