LAGUNA, Philippines — The city government of Santa Rosa in Laguna province has become the latest local government unit to respond to the needs of blended education as it handed over more than 36,000 android tablets to its public school students and teachers over the weekend. The tablets will replace the printed modules that were issued in the first quarter of the school year. The learners are also required to take proper care of the tablets as they will return the gadgets when the school year ends. Dessa Muyuela Ellorda, 41, resident of Barangay Pooc, said it will now be easier for her four children, who all received tablets, to attend classes online with the aid of the learning gadgets. The public school teacher for 13 years now also called on the city government to just give away the tablets and laptops to the students and teachers instead of merely lending it to them.
