Never give up after a fall!

It's never over when you think it is over. It is only over when you give up. And even then, it is still not over!

Spend time with your loved ones!

We don't know how long our loved ones live, so we must take care of them while we can. Don't wait till it is too late!

These are my hands

It is always a significant find when I discover a great metaphor for the innocence in a child---his hands. The hand only acts according to how the person wishes to express himself--his values, action, and intent.

Why can't we be friends?

You Are My Best Friend!

Best friends we are , Best friends we'll be, For always forever, You and Me! Longer than a phone call, Deeper than the sea, All this belongs to us, You and Me! Put it in a bottle, Never let it free, keep it in your heart, You and Me! I hope you read this poem, Remember it for me, Look after it with care, You and Me!

Chris Medina shows CARER values!

When Chris Medina said, "what kind of guy would I be if I walked out when she needed me the most?", he meant it. He demonstrated RESILIENCE in the face of difficulty. He demonstrated CARE to someone who needed him. He demonstrated RESPONSIBILITY by staying faithful. He demonstrated ADAPTABILITY and EXCELLENCE in his singing and by getting through to the next round.

We can all learn from this. Thanks Sabri for sharing sharing this with us!

Teachers, are you ready to teach me?

Are you ready to to teach your students?

They depend on you to engage them!

Storyboarding for a Music Video

This is a great sample of what a storyboard should do for you.


One advantage of using storyboards is that it allows (in film and business) the user to experiment with changes in the storyline to evoke stronger reaction or interest. Flashbacks, for instance, are often the result of sorting storyboards out of chronological order to help build suspense and interest.

The process of visual thinking and planning allows a group of people to brainstorm together, placing their ideas on storyboards and then arranging the storyboards on the wall. This fosters more ideas and generates consensus inside the group.

Emerging ICTs in Education

The year---2010. Let's take a snapshot of the current emerging Infocomm Technologies related to education:

Cloud computing:


Social Media as learning tools:

(i) What is Social Media?


(ii) What is the impact of Social Media in learning?


Ultimately, we are heading towards Internet Semantic Web a.k.a Web 3.0 --->



Due to these emerging trends, it is no wonder that schools will need to level the playing field for their students and staff by establishing an IT-enabled standard operating environment (such as making available of one-to-one computing, pervasive and intentional use of e-learning & e-assessment, utilization of cloud-computing and social media, etc) to pave the way for these emerging ICTs.

May I remind you, that there is really no advantage to being ignorant in this matter. This ship will sail---with or without you.

How winning is done!

“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place… and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain’t about how hard you hit… It’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward… how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying: You ain´t what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain´t you! You´re better than that!” (Rocky Balboa)
