November 2016 was a month filled with learning for Canlubang Elementary School (CES) being selected by Children’s Joy Foundation, Inc. as their participant for the CJFI-Dell Computer Literacy Program with the theme “Bringing Computer Education to the Grassroots and Countryside”.
Ms. Amor Tuiza, the School Principal of CES signed the Memorandum of Agreement last November 7, 2016 with CJFI Laguna Center Head, Ms. Josephine Perida, and CJFI-Dell Project OIC, Ms. Princess Joem Perida.
On Day 1, a total of seven (7) classes were conducted accommodating eighty-five (85) fourth to sixth graders. The class started at 8 o’clock in the morning and finished at 5 o’clock in the afternoon.
Thank you @DellPhilippines! #computerLiteracyProgram #supportCJFI Click To TweetLessons covered were:
- Basic Parts of a Computer
- Two Components of a Computer
- Inside the Computer
- Basic Computer Vocabulary
Day 2 on November 14 was even more fun-filled when the topic covered was “Typing”. The Project OIC introduced them to Typing Master 10 which is an application that teaches the proper finger placement on the keyboard. Each student was rated with their onset typing speed and their final speed.
The third session on November 21 tackled Microsoft Word and its proper usage. Basic shortcuts in Word such as CTRL+V, CTRL+C, CTRL+A and CTRL+S were discussed.
Students also played with the office application by creatively exploring different font sizes and styles. For example, one of their many exercises was to type a paragraph about them while applying their learning from the previous lessons. By the third week, they were typing at a faster rate.
Their last day on November 28 was the distribution of the Certificates of Completion to all participants. CJFI also received a Certificate of Appreciation from Canlubang Elementary School.
