By Carlito C. Dar

ITOGON, Benguet -- The Benguet State University Open University conducted  a one-day Skills Enhancement on Effective and Efficient Presentation for teachers last Saturday   at  the Midas Elementary School in Ucab, in this mining town.

The activity which drew 13 participants from  elementary schools in the area, was initiated by the teacher-students of Masters in Non-formal Education. 

               

The training included basic computer operation and using Microsoft Power Point for school lectures and lesson related presentation. A workshop was also held for the participants to learn how to prepare their own power point presentation and on how to properly present it.

               

According to Open University Masters in Non-formal Education adviser Dr. Marlowe Aquino, the activity is part of the field practicum of the masteral students, which aims to apply what they have learned and as well as to share and impart their skills and knowledge that can be helpful to the elementary teachers  in  the area.

               

“This will be a support program already of BSU Open University, under the directorship of Dr. LitaColting and with the enthusiasm shown by the participants,  I think the teachers (Open University students) will have a very good interaction with the participants, as this activity is both teaching and learning, which are both essential element of education”, Aquino added.

               

He also bared that  BSU  is open to hold similar activity in the future if there are  formal request for  specific trainings.

               

Midas Elementary School Principal Christine Puguon was grateful that the activity was held  here. Though there was a similar training held here before, some of the teachers in the municipality have missed the opportunity to attend, she said.
