Eighty selected beneficiary public schools nationwide recently became recipients of a total of 1,200 Cloudpad Epic 8.9 devices under the Global Filipino Schools (GFS) program.
Through Cloudfone’s devices, students can access more online educational sources. On the other hand, teachers may also use Cloudpads as part of the school’s new and modern approach to integrated teaching in the classroom.
As part of Globe’s initiative, GFS is a long-term educational program that seeks to transform selected public schools into centers of ICT (information and communications technology) excellence. By 2020, Globe, with the help of Cloudfone, aims to establish GFS in each of the 226 DepEd divisions nationwide.
Through these efforts, Cloudfone and Globe aim to promote e-learning by utilizing Cloudfone’s tablets as learning/teaching tools for academic institutions and their hardworking teachers and students.
