UE gets an All-iMac Classroom

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.

    I am very proud to say that the remote area in Palawan specifically Rio Tuba will be having a Computer Laboratory equipped with IMac. LSVMS is an integrated school with elementary and High School only.

    Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang negative niyo masyado. Diba sabi sa article na multimedia class ang gumagamit nito? Wag niyo sabihing walang kwenta to. Kung kayo ay nasa class na yon and bulok yung computer na gamit mo, I’m positive that you would want something better. Kahit anong course ka pa. Gugustuhin mo yung best facilities sa pag-aaral mo. Ganyan ang reactions niyo kasi hindi kayo yung gagamit. Imagine how happy the students who will use these are. Because they don’t need to work with trashy computers anymore.

    We always complain for better equipments and now that it has been given, still we complain.

    Sa mga UE students na nagrereklamo, think about it. Siguro nauna lang sila. And baka kayo na yung sumunod na bigyan ng magandang kagamitan.

    Let’s not argue anymore.

      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

    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.

    dapat mag invest narin ang mga ibang schools sa ganitong technology. UP ba meron ng MAC laboratory? or puro opensource lang?

    • Avatar for anonymous anonymous says:

      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
