Connecting Philippine-American science, mathematics & technology education

School is out for summer

Yes, school is done till next school year. The Mars habitat went smoothly and the rest of the end of year activities were completed on time. I am now in packing mode as my wife and I and our three year old daughter are getting ready for out trip to the Philippines this week.

I’m taking my laptop and I hope to continue to post here at Siyensya. I am planning to teach a few science lessons in an elementary school in Mindanao. I’ll repeat the lab on how to change the density of water and keep them separated. I also have a few other science lessons ready. I bought QuickTime Pro which will allow me to post using video from our cell phone. I think school activities will be easier to record with small camera phones than with my digital cam. I’ll experiment and see which is best under the circumstances.

We will be gong to Moalboal, Cebu to take some time off and get our feet wet and go swimming. I want to do some scuba diving and introduce my daughter to fun and excitement of learning about the ocean. While in Digos, I hope to find a small apartment to rent for our shelter and see who may be interested in helping us there. I’m also looking forward to some tasty mangoes and other Philippine foods. Have a great summer and check back again. Till next time…

    Hi,

    Congratulations for getting this domain name! :) It’s nice to know that Cebuano domain names are on the rise. I have registered one myself (bisdak.org) although I haven’t found the time to develop it yet.

    I have also started a listing of existing Cebuano domain names – I’ve added you.

    Cheers.

    Vincent,
    Thanks, I like the word siyensya because it’s small and even though many people never heard of it, that would make it unique.
