ICT FOR ALL--The theme of the 10th DLSU S&T Congress

Comm. Tim Angelo de Rivera talked about the Philippine ICT Strategic Roadmap and the current position of the Phils as far as e-governance is concerned. He brought and shared a lot fo good news both for the public and private sector. One of the directions mentioned too is the creation of the Dept of ICT. While US and other advanced countries do not have a dept like this, the Phil gov't has actually benchmarked with other Asian developing countries. I agree that it is high time and relevant the Phils create a unit such as the Dept of ICT. This is not to encourage bureaucracy but to empower the government to spearhead taking leverage on ICT to better serve the society.

What do you think of this??..

Need to update

It has been over a year now since I posted in this blog. I have to rejuvenate my thoughts and senses and once again commune with solace offered by the web. Having a blog allows me to slowly track my ideas in the past or review what had made me preoccupied.

After two months of teaching this first term of SY 2008-09, I can feel the workload squeezing me. I have three sections of Mngmt of Technology, one section of Supply Chain course, a special class on e-Business and one class on Research Methods. My Methods class technically has 9 groups struggling to find, research, write and defend a decent thesis proposal with a lame one-hour meeting a week (which I commonly end after two hours). While my Methods students are in a fight or die situation like the gladiators during the Roman period, I couldn't help squeeze myself to impart all the ideas and experiences I learned in the proposal formulation.

I am also mentoring thesis groups (two IT groups+one ICTM group).

And the rumor is true--my Supply Chain class is the noisiest.
