La Salle Greenhills offers Galaxy Tab 8.9 to students

sarap ng buhay

awww… sosyal. and grabe! may nagdedevelop ng apps for educational purpose kaya hindi pwedeng sabihin ng magulang mo na di ka na mag-aaral dahil idi-digitize ang books at manuals! astig!

“La Salle Green Hills plans to deploy initial 500 of the new Galaxy Tab 8.9 devices to its honors class students.”

classic way of discriminating its students pero mayayaman naman majority sa mga batang ito kaya sagot na ni papa or mama ang sa akin, kahit per subject pa hehe

most of the folks in LSGH are admittedly from the upper crust, so definitely they can affort the tablet as part of their requirements, but i feel obligated to share with everyone that NOT EVERYONE on campus has a silver spoon stuffed in their mouths. there’s a good 8-10% of the population in LSGH who are either under full or partial scholarship due to academic excellence, or are children of staff of the school, or are deserving scholars of partner communities of the Lasallian Brothers. from what i understand, these folks are usually not burdened with additional school fees and are given stipends for their uniforms (especially for the underpriveleged). considering their track record, i’m pretty sure the full scholars from the partner communities and the underpriveleged will be given these tablets as part of their scholarship as well. it won’t make sense if they don’t get them too (besides, i think they would have thought about the scholars too when they drafted their budget for this entire thing).

i personally envy these kids… where was all this technology when i was still in school, eh? hehehe! but then again, book research i think i still the best training. nothing beats being able to flip through a book and learning from it.

This is good for the ol’ Alma Mater, its always been great at adapting to the times. I’m happy for the students who dont have to lug around heavy books anymore.

I heard St. Paul Pasig is doing the same this year and planning on rolling out the tablet idea to the whole school next year. I hope that idea pushes through.

Does make sense from a certain point of view. Paperless books means each kid can (and will) carry an entire library with him. High-resolution photos and video tutorials will help with labwork (or replace it entirely, which I don’t agree with). i.e. virtual frog dissection…hell it’s digital…virtual *human* dissection.

Also, if they can write the proper app/back-end for it, tablet-based quizzes/exams make it much easier for the students and the teacher and make cheating harder. Instant-click, instant-check, instant-grade directly uploaded to a master back-end app on the teacher’s machine/department server/etc.

Bakit Galaxy Tab pa? bat di na lang HP touchpad? hehe

wow. awesome. run with your samsung at running races manila Philippines

Im studying at LSGH and i am 4th year highschool section A. Everything is going well with the tab.
Going to school is much easier. By the way only the sections have a tab because it is on trial.
The rest of the sections will have the tab if this year will be successful.

When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox
and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.

Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Many thanks!
