The tools that are available to those within education today are amazing. There is so much wonderful technology that it has changed the face of education as we know it.

1. iPhone Apps: Who would have thought that you could get so much out of your phone? With the evolution of the iPhone and other Smartphones just like it came the apps that teachers can’t live without. Whether they are using the apps to help with something in the class or looking for new ideas, these are great. It’s so easy for a teacher to just pull up something on their phone and the ideas can start flowing. This is wonderful for teachers who may need a little help in getting organized or who may need some fresh ideas in how to reach their children. Whatever the reason they are used, these apps represent one of the best forms of technology to hit the face of education.

2. Online Lesson Plans: Though teachers still have to come up with their own lesson plans, sometimes they just need some fresh ideas. Not only are the online lesson plans well founded but they can help to get a teacher on track with a fresh start. There are so many different types and forms of lesson plans out there and it’s easy enough to pick the one that best suits your needs. You can even track all of your lesson plans online, which makes it really easy if you ever need a substitute in the classroom.

3. Educational Websites: Teachers can use the websites to teach certain lessons. They can point students in the direction of the right educational websites to help educate their students and provide research material. Students can take the websites to help create new ways of learning things outside of the classroom. These sites can test knowledge and really help to reinforce what is being taught in the classroom on a daily basis. This is great for everyone and provides a different and rather fun way of learning.

4. Online Courses: Teachers can take advantage of the many educational online courses to further their knowledge on a certain area. They may use the online courses to keep up with their continuous education credits or even to obtain another degree. Students can gain an education that they may never have been able to get and all from the comfort of their own home. Nothing has changed the face of education more than online courses and the way that they have made education so accessible.

5. Test Preparation Software: There are so many standardized and required tests these days that it’s hard to know which end is up. The wonderful test preparation software that is out there today can really help to prepare a student for whichever test they are taking. They can not only utilize these to study from but also to test their knowledge and take practice exams before the big day arrives.

6. Educational Forums: Sometimes teachers just need to talk to others just like them in the field. With the many wonderful educational forums that are out there, teachers can be united with others from all over the world. This helps to answer questions and ensure that a teacher is always prepared no matter what.

Teachers need certain tools, and there are many available to them today. These forms of technology are the best out there and with great reasons for their contribution.

Food Along the Way...

Shop at More Food Adventures

We had an amazing week.. We went to Cebu to visit the Virgin Mary of Simala in Lindugon, Sibonga, Cebu Province.. Actually, we came here in Camiguin first then took the longer route of going to Cebu via Jagna and Tagbilaran Bohol, then took the bus going Oslob, got down at Lindugon and took another ride going up Simala.. It was a very long journey.. But for my sister, it means, no wearing of her nursing uniform, as she has a week to enjoy before their review for NLE.. But of course, they wouldn't be wearing nursing uniforms during their review.. Not even scrub tops or pants.. hehehe.. But the will be housed so the week was a breather for her so busy and tiresome schedule...

Anyway, the trip was also like a journey of food, as we had to eat along the way.. 

The first foodie was the Empanadas and Fresh Lumpia from Balbagon Port, in Camiguin, when we were about to leave...

They were sold by a vendor who was authorized to enter the lounge... They were warm and yummy.. I loved the creamy sauce of the Fresh Lumpia and the crunch in every bite of the Empanadas...

When we arrived in Jagna, we had lunch at this foodstore just outside the port, and they served really great food. Too bad I was not able to take a photo of the foodies we ate there.. I remembered taking a photo of the Peanut Kisses we bought from them when we were already at the pension house in Cebu.. No Calamay as they will add to our burden already...

When we were settled at the pension house, we decided to have dinner at Da Vinci's.. I so missed their pizza...

That's the Da Vinci's Masterpiece in white sauce...

Yummy Pizza and Chicken...

Glad my siblings and daughter enjoyed the treat.. The next day, we went straight to Santo Nino Shrine and had old women, and men, pray the "sinulog" on the four of us.. After that, we went and had breakfast, passing by these vendors and their goodies.. 

But we didn't buy any as I knew we shall meet the same foodies on the road.. on our way to Simala...

These are the Ampao and Bukarilyo which were sold by a bus stop vendor when we stopped at Carcar, Cebu. These vendors would flag a bus, and sell their goodies on board.. Then, they will go down at the next stop.. 

These are sold according to what kind of bus they are on. For example, I bought two packs of Bukarilyo when we were on board the air conditioned bus and I paid P 40, while the same packs, I only got at P 30 on the non-air conditioned bus, on our way back...

And finally, we went to Metro Gaisano to buy our pasalubong goodies..

If only we had more time to spend in Cebu, we could have explored further, and we could have visited all my favorite foodie places.. Can't believe I missed Casa Verde and Alfredo's Pizza on this trip... anyway, there's always a next time..
