learning about the apps because they found them very interactive and

useful for the online teaching.

conducted. Participants were given ample time to explore more and make

meaningful outputs that they could share to the group. The workshops
were facilitated by the speakers of the day. The participants were

diligent to submit their outputs in the links provided by the

speakers. Before the day ended, there were presentation and critiquing

of outputs. Minor problems with the outputs were observed by the

speakers, and they corrected eventually.

The team successfully proceeded to the second day of the

preliminary songs, energizer and recapitulation of yesterday’s topics.

speaker who was expert and generous in sharing her knowledge.

their own outputs. They were presented and critique by the speakers.

Installing PNPKI Digital Signature, a speaker from Burgos District,

Ma’am Dhoury M. Padillo who was DICT trained was invited. The speaker

was patient enough to demonstrate the steps in downloading and

installing PNPKI Digital Signature. As a result, mostly of the School

ICT Coordinators have followed the procedures. There was only

challenges on the part of the teachers, who have not tried the hands-

on because they have not received yet their PNPKI confirmation.

Nevertheless, Ma’am Padillo made a comprehensive presentation which

she shared to the group for their reference.

The day was concluded with a closing program. There was closing

prayer and singing of nationalistic song. Insights were given by

schools. They are also ready to relay their gained knowledge and

skills to their fellow teachers so that not only them, but the whole
