Amazing ! words are not enough to say, just see the pictures below even elem. student are interested wow ...

If you want to know what is educational robotics all about well here it is ....

Educational Robotics Using Robotics to Foster Educational Aims, Teach Life Skills and Promote Innovation. Many education professionals are predicting that robotics will soon be taught in every elementary, middle and high school, along with most colleges, as a subject unto itself or as an educational enabler for other subjects. This presents many opportunities for those solution providers who have products and services that target the educational robotics market. (RoboNexus) Many countries today are looking into Robotics as a strong enabler in their Educational Reforms. Many of the first world countries not only require it in Elementary and High School but even fund the equipment of the schools. There is the model where robotics is part of the curriculum as a subject, others have it as a tool by which to explain the foundational concepts of Math and Science, and others have special interest groups and clubs that join national or international contests. There are so many contests going around the world. And to see a 3rd Grade student solving life problems using robotics in a contest spurs up hope for a better future.

Bali Bali Ever

Tranquility… Serenity… Privacy…

These words are written on the brochure of Bali Bali Beach Resort. And that was what exactly what my relatives and I experienced when we spent a weekend there. Bali Bali Beach Resort is a quaint beach resort located in Samal Island a few minutes away from Davao City.



What sets Bali Bali apart from the other beach resorts I’ve been too is the amount of relaxation I was able to enjoy. The resort has less than 10 cottages, each with a very homey ambiance. The mood in the resort is very subdued. The resort serves home-cooked meals that adds to the experience of feeling at home while enjoying the luxuries of a resort. Words aren’t enough to describe one of the best weekends I’ve had, so let these pictures show you how it was

We are a tool

I just recently shared this message to my beloved high school students and I hope that everyone would loved this too.....
Its all about the carpenter's tool

The carpenter’s tools were having a conference. Brother Hammer was presiding.

Fellow tools, let’s have a meeting.

But the others said:

You are too noisy! You have nothing to do to help us here. Leave us!

All right, I’ll go, but Brother Screw must go also. You have to turn him around again and again to get him to accomplish anything.


Brother Screw then spoke up.

If you wish, I will leave. But Brother Plane must go too. There’s no depth to his work. It’s always on the surface.


Brother Plane responded:


Well, Brother Ruler will also have to go. He’s constantly measuring people as if he were the only one who’s right.


Brother Ruler complained about Brother Sandpaper:


He’s rougher than he ought to be. He’s always rubbing people the wrong way.



In the midst of the discussion the Carpenter of Nazareth walked in. He went to his workbench to make a pulpit from which to preach the gospel. He used the hammer, screw, the plane, the ruler, the sandpaper, and all the other tools.



After the pulpit was finished, Brother nail arose and said:


I see now that all of us are laborers together for God.



YOU ARE EMPOWERED BY GOD!
Acts 1:8
Use your talents and spiritual gifts to SERVE GOD



Show your thankfulness for God’s many blessings.

Enthusiastically serve! Serve with a glad heart.

Reach out! Spread the good news and love of Jesus Christ. Be a blessing to
others!
Value your talents and spiritual gifts. Do not boast of them. Use them wisely. Do your best. Develop them and dedicate them for the glory of God.
Everyone has a special contribution to make to fulfill God’s mission.
