Testimonials about ETV

     For students, understanding lessons easily is one of the most difficult things to do specially for those in the lower sections. Teachers have a hard time preparing lessons which can be easily understood by students.

     One of the best “impacts” of ETV among teachers is the introduction of new teaching styles and strategies. “Viewing adds more teaching styles and strategies. It (allows) them to present and discuss the lessons clearly” (Vicente P. Villanueva MS, cite town). “Teachers learned different techniques and methods which resulted to more effective teaching” (Tinga Itaas ES, Batangas City).

     Classes became alive, students enjoyed lessons, and the interaction among students and teachers improved.  ETV was instrumental in motivating students to participate in discussions creating more dynamic classes.
Through ETV viewing students gained knowledge while t the same time educators learned to teach better.
