UE gets an All-iMac Classroom

You should also research and post about UPLB’s “Mac” classrooms, considering that you UP has barely enough budget to improve its classroom,teaching apparatus or its teachers’ salaries.

We also have one at Malayan Colleges Laguna and it was there since it started in 2007. :)

in AMA makati also have a “MAC-lab” :D

I graduated a year before this course began its existence. Would’ve taken it up as an elective if I had the opportunity. Alas, I graduated on time :P

It’s a sign of progress. The irony is we are ten steps behind other major colleges and universities in asia. Having an i-mac is not necessarily a good thing and a good buy. If only schools started building their computer from scratch, buy parts at a factory price and assemble with their own workforce, who knows how much they could save (with better hardware and specs and price)than buying a ready made Mac. They could also include a logo of their school in it as a trademark and that would be great.

Expensive hardware isn’t uncommon for schools that you pay for a premium. I’d be more surprised on government institutions using iMacs (which they do FYI)

And since the multimedia industry prefers Apple products in their offices, wouldn’t you also want the same experience as a student?

This is good but remember, these days it is more important to have faster net connection and choice of software at an affordable price.

they should have known better putting in mac so kids wont play games on PC I bet if their engineering students are smart enough they will deploy PC with Linux OS

no linux?

WTF? IMHO, we should be using more freaking *Linux* classrooms. Ubuntu or Edubuntu!

nag pe-facebook lang ang mga yan… :-)

bakit may special article dito for UE? taga-UE na si yuga? at may especially pa yung mga elitist schools like Areneoh, Lasawle, and Beneerd. marami na may ganyan, even the public ones.

UST is also on Macs.

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.

U MAD DEMETREO? Analyze the capabilities of computer studies in UE first.

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.

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..

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

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

Wow… It’s so nice to see a school using an high-end technology…

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

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

Should be LINUX. I don’t find any reasons for using MAC other than FAD

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 ^_^

UP and La Salle also participated in this competition.

Tangina bulok naman talaga lalo na yung mga prof, pakshet 2013 ako nag computer aided design, fine arts ako, hanggang noon puro makakapal pa yung mga monitors nito lang napalitan! ang mas malala pa, yung prof na nagtuturo, walang alam sa photoshop puro basic lang, di pa ata marunong magmasking yung putangnang sipsip sa faculty na yon eh. at di lang yon, uso tag team among profs lalo na pag di ka nila trip.. masaya lang hahaha pota
