#ebag

Some teachers at CSJHS were asked to take part in this year's Electronic Schoolbag Program and somehow I knew there was no escape from that for me. Hundreds of days had I been wondering about (partly looking forward to) the time when I can actually get some hands on experience of teaching material making. 

The whole process was a tough one. Nobody had said it took no or little effort but I did not realize it was so much harder than expected. The former coordinators from the not-to-be-named tech company presented us with a handful of iPad apps which were supposed to facilitate us while creating anything from scratch. Admittedly, being able to work with an iPad had been the reason I was drawn to joining this program semi-voluntarily first off. That, however, was the only bits of info I knew about what I'd involved myself in - other than that I also knew it was unlikely to develop 'temple run' into some kind of a brilliant English learning plan. Googling after work was one of those things (besides running away from temple monsters) I did daily ever since, through which I literally got dozens of ideas and inspirations and potential materials for the job every single night. It was all good, for the most part. But the bad thing about it was that it was such a pain to leave out some good resources and focus on just one of them. Making payment wasn't an issue for me. I was willing to pay up for whichever worthwhile. It was just that free good stuff was already filling up the list.
