On December 20, 2024, Good Neighbors Philippines officially launched its Digital Library at the Children Learn and Play (CLAP) Building in Prieto Diaz Central School. This initiative marked a significant step in making modern educational tools accessible to students in the municipality. The digital equipment, handed over to the Department of Education (DepED), included three 13-inch Apple iPads (16th Gen), three Apple Pencil Pros, an ASUS notebook, and a Kiwi Technologies 32-inch interactive, movable digital display.
The turnover ceremony brought together key figures, including Ms. Alma Fernando, School Principal; Ms. Margaret B. Dioneda, Master Teacher I and Kindergarten Teacher at the CLAP Building; and Ms. Noreza Luneta, District Librarian and Administrative Officer.
A Dynamic Learning Hub
The Digital Library is more than just a collection of gadgets—it’s a space for interactive and collaborative learning through technology. With its touch-screen display and access to the Epic App, it provides safe, engaging, and kid-friendly resources. This setup supports group activities designed to enhance literacy, numeracy, and cognitive skills.
Good Neighbors Philippines remains committed to its belief that education is a means to empower and uplift. As we continue to expand the impact of this initiative, we will work closely with DepED teachers to monitor the frequency of digital tool usage and assess their impact on student learning. By integrating the Digital Library with platforms like DepEd Commons and the Learning Management System, students in Prieto Diaz will have continuous access to up-to-date materials that support their academic journey. This paves the way for a future that is inclusive, innovative, and filled with hope.
The TEACH Project: A Holistic Approach to Education
The TEACH Project has two main objectives: improving digital literacy among young learners and empowering parents with the skills to support their children’s education at home. Through these efforts, the project seeks to bridge literacy gaps and create sustainable educational opportunities that transform lives.
