This photo might not be believable 5 years ago but more and more schools and universities are switching to Macs in their classroom — this one was shot in one of the classrooms of the University of the East.
This one could be for a multimedia class (I am told by one student there that it’s for mixed-use and usually for the Java programming class. I think this is an old photo from a year ago.
I’m sure a lot of Philippine schools (especially La Salle, Benilde and Ateneo) have classrooms like these for a year or two now but every time I see one, I just can’t help but be amazed. During my college years as a computer engineering student, we only had an IBM PC clone 486-DX4 100MHz (and we still had to share them!).
And to think that most public schools in the country lack enough classrooms, books and desks, it’s ironic that we get to see the other end of that spectrum.
I also hear this is one way to attract new incoming students. Now that’s a truly Apple-inspired marketing campaign.
UST is also on Macs.
wala akong masabi.
clone pc dn noong kapanahunan q.
in the end, nasa student pa rin naman yan.
Whatever! Kahit Mac pa yan, wala pa ring binatbat ang quality ng education sa UE compared mo sa Big 3 (UP, Ateneo, DLSU) no! It’s all part of some marketing ploy to attract students. If it were me (and I’m glad I chose it), I’d rather be in a school with great facilities and excellent educational offerings.
Mr. Demetreo your comment is quite unfair. Why? First, the image at the left is not competing nor arguing the quality of “Big 3″. Citing the three schools only served as basis of quality (for which we know, they have established their prestige). Second, If the post is intended for marketing the school, then what is wrong with that? In fact, even these “Big 3″ are also conducting a STS (school-to-school) marketing program.

I didn’t know UP was conducting marketing campaigns. That would be idiotic. Walang budget ang UP. Lol
very well said demetreo agree ako sa sinabi mo, one more thing ang UE walang kwenta gaya nyan nag papasikat lang na kaya nila sumabay sa mga bagong technology ,but ung mga student nila hindi nila iniisip ,facilities bulok,man power service nila bulok din ,security lalo na kht mag dala pa ata ako ng knife eh makakapasok lang ako, at ang isa pang kinaiinisan ko eh ung mga prof na akala ko ka galing galing mag turo hindi naman lahat na ituturo tapos mag papa exam kuno kayo na NEVER NYO NAMAN NAITURO SA STUDENT!!! BIG FAIL TALAGA ANG UE walang kwenta puro porma !!
MR.CHRISTIAN NABASA KO NA YANG COMMENT MO NA IYAN SA PAGE NYO AT ANG MASASABI KO LANG AYUS AYUSIN NYO ANG PAG TUTURO NYO SA ESTUDYANTE NYO PURO KAYO KAYABANGAN, MAY MAC NGA PERO HINDI NAMAN LAHAT NG SUBJECT NA DAPAT AY SA MAC EH HINDI NAGAGAMIT GAYA NG PHOTOSHOP WHICH IS SA BULOK NA COMPUTER PARIN KAME GUMAGAMIT ,ISA PA PINAGAGAWA NYO NG THESIS ANG ESTUDYANTE PERO KAYONG MGA PROF HINDI NAG TURO KUNG PAANO GUMAWA NG SYSTEM PURO BASIC NA LANG BA? ABA NAG BABAYAD KAME PARA TURUAN NIYO HINDI PARA MAG TANUNG TANUNG LANG KAME KUNG KANI KANINO WALANG KWENTA TALAGA SA UE WAG NA KAYO MAG ARAL DIYAN SAYANG LANG PERA NIYO BULOK NA FACILITIES AT SERVICE’S PATI EDUCATION BULOK NAKIKIPAG PLASTIKAN LANG KASI KAYO SA MGA ACCREDITORS KAYA TUMATAAS ANG CCSS PERO SA TOTOO LANG BULOK ANG SYSTEMA WALANG KWENTA MAG TURO KAYO NG MAAYOS !!! ANG MAHAL NG TUITION FEE AH PERO UNG BINABAYARAN NAMIN SA FACILITIES HINDI LAHAT NA KUKUHA
‘PAMANTASANngSILANGAN’ hindi na tayu elementary pra turuan tayo palage, kaya nga college sariling sikap din. pano ka matututo kung umaaasa ka lng lage sa PROF. kaya nga thesis kelangan ntn gumawa ng para sa sarili ntn.
Mr. Demetreo. ingat ingat naman sa snasabe. Wala naman sa BIG3 yan, nsa estudyante na un. Tsaka kung walang quality ang UE di dpat di sya pasok sa top10
top 10? UE? hibang ka ba? kahit sa TOP 20 sa buong Pilipinas WALA un e! W-A-L-A
U MAD DEMETREO? Analyze the capabilities of computer studies in UE first.

Mas ok sana kung LINUX na lang.
Masyado namang violent reaction, sino ba ang nagsabi na puro mac lang ang gagamitin ng mga student? FYI we are also using other platforms and operating systems, binili ung mac para maging mas malawak ung kaalaman ng mga estudyante when it comes to other operating systems and other environments than windows.
yabang ng Demetreo ah! remember ex-pres.GMA is from Ateneo and she’s the most corrupt we ever had. ang di ko lang maintindihan sa La Salle at Ateneo ay kung bakit ang mahal-mahal ng tuition gayong dala-dala nila pangalan ng Diyos. Isn’t that un-christian? UE has given the underprivileged a chance for a quality education!

Underprivileged? Di ba mahal din tuition sa UE. Lol. UP po ang nagbibigay ng quality education sa mga deserving na underprivileged.
fyi Mr.Alain, compared sa ibang state universities, mahal din ang tuition sa UP. Hindi lahat ng magagaling nakakapasok sa UP dahil hindi lahat may kakayahang mag-aral dun financially speaking.
dapat ung mga Computer Engineering, CS at IT students pinag-assemble ng PC, hindi ung bibili ng walang kwentang computer… para may experience ung mga student… hindi naman upgradeable at cost-effective yan eh. katamaran ata yan
hindi naman pwede i-repair..
Nice. I believe only engineering students in UP get to have the Macs on top of the Win 7 PCs. Others are on Win 7 or Linux based OS.
dyan magaling ang ue mag pasikat puro bili ng bili ng kung ano ano pero ung facilities service’s eh walang ka kwenta kwenta kaya nag sisisi talaga ako at bakit pa ako nag titiyaga sa ue na yan

Why do I look at the pic and think: DRONES.
DLSU-CSB already maintains a Mac lab since more than 10 yrs ago used primarily for Multimedia arts purpose e.g. Video editing, photoshop, Illustrator etc.
Though I am somewhat against schools using Macs outside of those Media functions as it does not teach them real world computing disciplines e.g. PC assembly, troubleshooting, experience on compiling apps on Unix & etc.
In the real corporate world Macs are next to being useless machines unless you are on a design related firm
LOL bakit mac yung ginagamit sa programming!?
Y U NO WINDOWS?
or baka multimedia arts yung course ng mga yan
at bakit nman ndi? kung ako papipiliin MAC gagamitin ko sa programming, kahit ilan software pa install mo sa MAC ganun pa rin ang performance unlike sa windows sa umpisa lang mabilis.(at mas pipiliin ko pa linux kesa windows)
FYI: Facebook engineers MAC lahat gamit.

Wow… It’s so nice to see a school using an high-end technology…
It’s just another excuse to be more expensive. Just like mac.
dapat mag invest narin ang mga ibang schools sa ganitong technology. UP ba meron ng MAC laboratory? or puro opensource lang?
hay nako mag iinvest nga tapos anu? payabang na kaya ng school na iyon na bumili ng ganyan nako service’s at standard muna ayusin nila bago mag pa yabang ng ganyan
Ewan ko kung meron na sa Com Sci, pero sa Engg Lib may iMacs sa computing facility/learning commons. Mixed-use.
Foundation University in Dumaguete has been an all iMac university almost 5 years ago already. In fact, their HS dept has been on paperless education since 2009. They use iPads.
Sa mga nanglalait sa UE at nagsisisi na nag aral kayu duon. bka naman ksi mahihina tlga kayo kaya d kayo natuto sa UE? haha
I like what you said.. haha… I have known lots of people who graduated from UE.. and they are all successful.. and I am one of them.. It depends on the person.. look at those people who have blatant disregard to UE, they see their cup half empty, half full. Those are the people who have long on complaints, but short on solutions. – not a real warrior..:P

Lyceum University already had this iMac Lab 3 years ago and still running.
Should be LINUX. I don’t find any reasons for using MAC other than FAD
year 2010 dati nang mga branded pc ginagamit ng ue. dell and ibm pc..
Dipende nmn un sa kaalaman ng tao ^_^
pag-isipan nyo muna ang mga snasbi nyo bago kau mag-post…ee bka malay nyo, mas magaling pa ang ibng estudyante sa ue kesa sa inyo =)) kya wlng bnibigay na biyaya sa inyo ang diyos ee,puro kainggitan ang binibigay nyo sa kapwa nyo,ee alm nyo nmn na biyaya na ng diyos sakanila un ^_^
