Konnichiwa ,
On behalf of the
participants both from the Philippines and from other countries, I would like
to thank the Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship or AOTS especially
GM Kawakami-San, Suzuki-San and the entire AOTS community, the Ministry of
Economic, Trade and Industry or METI, the Information Technology Promotion
Agency or IT-PA for giving us a wonderful opportunity attending this training
Program on Instructors for ITSS/ITEE in Asian Countries or ENIT.
The training outline was very
comprehensive. Together, we have learned
and have better understanding of ITSS, improvement in ITEE instructional
methods and its future developments. Tsuru-San presented a case study that was
very informative and challenging. Our
knowledge on ITSS and ITEE were broaden by the well-prepared presentations of Ogawa-San,
Amino-San, Tsuru-San, Kawabata-San, Tomita-San, Tanaka-San and Ichimura-San. Our
company visits in Digital Hollywood University, Legend Applications Inc, Cyber
Government Square, Tokyo Denki University provided us a clearer picture of
implementing ITSS and ITEE models. We
learned about the actual situation in Japan as well as have seen for ourselves the
most advanced educational technology in Japan.
This training program is a
very educational one. Our problems and
situations are sometimes similar and at times varied and very diverse in nature. But we can learn from each other and help
each other to overcome our problems.
From our short casual conversations with the co-participants and the
host, lecturers and organizers, we already picked up some bits of information about
their experiences, both successes and failures, how each understands ITSS and
ITEE.
Thank you to our course
coordinator, Furuya-San and our interpreters
Nozawa-San, Nakayama-San and Fujita-San who have prepared and have been
running this training. It was very
well-organized and all are systematic.
And last but not the least,
thank you to our co-participants from Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Thailand,
Vietnam and also my new friends from the Philippines. Your active participation and the information
exchange that we had was indeed commendable.
We learned from each other in the session room as well as outside this
room.
Not many people from foreign
countries will get to visit this beautiful country of Japan, particularly here
in Tokyo. And we are very lucky to have
been given this chance to appreciate the beauty of Japan.
This one visit is not enough
to see everything, but it is more than enough to say that Japan is a place
worth visiting. I hope to see you again
here in Japan, in the Philippines, your respective countries or in the other
parts of the world.
Thank you and good afternoon.
ARIGATO GOZAIMAS.
