DepEd carries out National Training of Trainers to aid launching of Computerization Program

As a way to fully equip field officers with knowledge on DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) packages and how to utilize them to support its ongoing nationwide rollout, the Department of Education (DepEd) conducts the DCP Adoption National Training of Trainers (NTOT).

DepEd said the training has started on February 18 to tackle blended learning frameworks, teaching and learning with television, use of advanced Microsoft productivity tools, and learning accelerators, and many more.

The distribution of DCP packages is already underway consisting of laptops, charging carts, smart TVs, hard disk drives, and routers,

DepEd said.

The NTOT gathered approximately 700 DepEd Regional and Schools Division Offices personnel who will serve as trainers, facilitators, and/or program managers of the DCP Adoption Program led by the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS).

“The training utilizes blended learning through massive open online courses that combine face-to-face and technology-mediated sessions,” DepEd noted.

It added that the participants develop action plans for the rollout and implementation of learned concepts among DCP recipient schools to aid teaching, learning, and other services.

Your presence is instrumental as you will assist us in capacitating our teachers with the necessary skills to maximize the utilization of our DCP packages. Let’s leave a legacy of empowered learners and transformed education

Undersecretary for Administration Nolasco Mempin said.

At the same time, ICTS Director Ferdinand Pitagan discussed the background and rationale of the initiative and highlighted that the DCP packages must be promoted and utilized effectively to address the needs of the MATATAG curriculum.

You are asked to replicate what we have started so that our educators will be able to design, conduct, and assess blended learning to ensure the acquisition of heightened learning of our learners,

Director Pitagan said.

DCP NTOT completers shall receive certificates from DepEd and Microsoft.
