Teachers Step Into a More Digital Classroom
OZAMIZ CITY - The Schools Division of Ozamiz City has named participants for the Regional Khan Academy Orientation Module 2 – “Reimagining Teaching with Khan Academy: Hands-on Technical Training for KHANDO Teachers.” The memorandum was issued on September 3, 2026, making it one of the division’s newest education-related developments. Rather than presenting technology as something teachers simply need to use, the training focuses on technical preparation and practical familiarity with the platform. This gives participating educators a chance to work with the tools before applying them in their teaching. For Ozamiz schools, the development adds another layer to ongoing efforts to build teachers’ confidence with digital learning resources.
From Platform Access to Practical Know-How
Khan Academy has already been part of DepEd Ozamiz City’s technology-related work, but the September training represents a new stage in that process. Earlier division documents recorded implementation updates involving Khan Academy schools, while the new memorandum specifically identifies a hands-on technical training for KHANDO teachers. That distinction makes the latest development worth noting. The goal at this stage is teacher preparation, not a claim of finished results. Educators who understand how a platform works are better positioned to explore its available learning materials and determine how those resources fit their lessons. The training therefore focuses on building capability before expecting classroom application.
A Small Step With Practical Classroom Potential
Digital learning works best when teachers know how to use the tools rather than simply having access to them. The September 2026 training gives Ozamiz educators a structured opportunity to develop that familiarity with Khan Academy. DepEd’s public activity calendar also shows other professional-development activities taking place across the division in September, including training related to learning resources, assessments, literacy, action research, and school leadership. The Khan Academy orientation fits within that broader schedule of teacher development without requiring exaggerated predictions about its eventual impact. For Ozamiz City students, the encouraging part is that their teachers are being given additional opportunities to learn, practice, and prepare for technology-supported instruction.
