Teachers, are you ready to teach me?

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)
