From AP Website From http://aralpinoy.org/ Welcome to Aral Pinoy!

Aral Pinoy ay Pagaaral na Alagang Pinoy. Aral Pinoy is dedicated to education for life-giving relationships. This is inspired and born out of helping and working with the marginalized sectors of our society since my seminary days.

To make a vital difference in the lives of our kababayan has always been my vision, and I, Antonio Ingles, Jr., as Aral Pinoy's Convenor, dream that one day if God’s generosity allows, I will build schools in the rural areas, schools for life that empower them.

Today, education is an urgent call to action for and by the rural poor: the indigenous people, the rural women, the fisher folks, the farmers, the rural youth, the elderly, persons with disabilities and the informal sector.

Digital Native

Wikipedia defines digital native as "a person for whom digital technologies already existed when they were born, and hence has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3s." A site www.digitalnative.org is even created for Digital Natives which is "an interdisciplinary collaboration of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University and the Research Center for Information Law at the University of St. Gallen." The aim of the said effort is "to understand and support young people as they grow up in a digital age."

Prensky (2001) talks about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants eight years ago. He claims that "today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach." To him the most useful designation he has found for them is Digital Natives. He said that, "Our students today are all “native speakers” of the digital language of computers, video games and the Internet." He distinguished the difference of digital natives from "those who were not born into the digital world but have, at some later point in their lives, become fascinated by and adopted many or most aspects of the new technology." He called them Digital Immigrants.

The Digital Natives Organization said, "Are all youth digital natives? Simply put, no. Though we frame digital natives as a population “born digital,” not all youth are digital natives."

Full Sail University just emailed me an information about Education Media Design & Technology degree, maybe for me to know that there is a Master’s Degree Program Online on how to learn to be an innovator by creating podcasts, online courses, video presentations and to also study alternative teaching tools such as video games, music, and multimedia, to help enrich classroom experience.

I am just lucky that with De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde's goal to be a truly learner-centered learning institution, I took my second Masteral Degree in Learning and Teaching (MaLT 1st and pioneer batch) in De La Salle University and wrote an action research on the ways of creating a learner-centered learning environment as supported by technology. I incorporated an online component (web-based modules) in the face-to-face or classroom-based instruction in my Dynarel (Church and Sacraments) class.

"Too many online courses are 'page-turners' with poor pedagogy,

but how do you get busy professors to learn

and use better instructional design?"

-Bramucci, Junn & Reisman, 2000
Integrating Instructional Design into Learning Management System (LMS)

INDeXPh.info at www.indexph.info or Instructional Design eXperts in the Philippines refers to a pool of Philippine based eXperts, a dynamic team in Instructional Design in various academic disciplines who bonded together to inform Educators, Training Professionals and (other) Instructional Designers, in both private and public sectors, on how to make the most out of online teaching and learning online.

"E-Learning design is not instructional design."

-Horton, 2006
E-Learning by Design

A broader meaning of pedagogy refers to "the principles and methods of instruction". According to Michigan State University (MSU), "the methods by which instruction is delivered are varied. Selecting a sound model, one grounded in the science of education as the basis of [your] teaching is one way to promote success. Combining models and using multiple styles can make teaching and learning an exciting and compelling experience" Read more...

"With the application of sound instructional design principles,

E-Learning ... can be effective, interactive, and relevant."

-Rogers, 2005
Instructional Design Support for E-Learning

On 12.3.2006 INDeXPh.info was born out of the founder's beliefs that each learner is truly unique and endowed by God with talents and gifts which should be understood, appreciated and nurtured. Because of such beliefs, INDeXPh.info dreams of a venue where these can possibly find expressions. INDeXPh.info's goal is not only to assist students with their academic performance via online but also to help them develop a sense of self-responsibility for learning.

Learning requires an investment not just of money, but of time and effort as well. All learning is the mutual responsibility of students, parents, staff, faculty, and administrators. While responsibility is the key to this learning, student-responsibility doesn't just happen overnight. INDeXPh.info hopes to foster, nurture and sustain it.
