ike ane 0S: owledge of curriculum developers and education experts that

ation of paperless instructions has long been proposed even before the

Pe transpired. The very aim is to maximize the use of technology and expose
learners to the 21st century learning milieu.

va Ina scholarly study conducted by Holon Institute of Technology entitled “The


‘oice of Teacher in a Paperless Classroom’, it has been asserted that “teachers in
the
Paperless school develop a solid rationale relying on ideas for teaching and
learning in
a Paperless environment and use varied technologies and develop innovative
pedagogies.” It was also emphasized in the journal that teachers are fully aware
about

the challenges that they might encounter so they are striving to think of new
strategies
to cope with this modernization.

In line with the mentioned innovation, some scholarly platforms are employed
to promote paperless instructions. Driven by the undying zeal to adhere with the
abovementioned advocacy, Balanga City National Science High School (BCNSHS) has
initiated the utilization of Xepto Digital Education’s Learning Management System.
Spearheaded by Mrs. Marilou J.Tanada, Education Program Specialist in Science and
the acting principal of BCNSHS, this LMS has created significant impact in
facilitating
the teaching-learning process.

Xepto Digital Education offers digital platforms for uploading and distributing
digital learning materials for the benefit of teachers and students of all economic
backgrounds. This is a part of the Narra Ventures Group founded by Standford PhD
inventor, Dr. Francisco “Paco” Sandejas in partnership with some of Silicon
Valley’s
brilliant minds. Xepto is also an EdTech startup that provides the most valuable
cloud-based platform for educators and learners to collaborate, share and access
the
highest quality educational materials, tools, and services in the most
pedagogically
effective ways.

In my own opinion, upon using Xepto, teachers can easily upload interactive
learning modules, innovative activities, and varied assessments. Moreover, learners
can now see timely feedback through this digital platform.
The configuration of Xepto in BCNSHS encompasses the following: online
access to the Xepto Learning management system over the internet; 16 computer
workstation seats classroom model; five (5) computer workstations for faculty room;
and three(3) projector set-up.

More so, the platform offers remarkable impact to school, teachers and learners.
Through Xepto, teachers can update parents on their children’s progress which can
eventually lead to harmonious relationships between teachers and parents. Teachers
can also generate scores in tests and quizzes through Xepto-LMS. As for the
learners,
they can have access to teachers’ feedback so they can also be aware of their
missing
outputs.

With the mentioned advantages of using Xepto, the evident clamor for paperless
instructions can be finally heeded. While it is true that the challenges in
adopting this
innovation is inevitable, we cannot deny the educational triumph and ease that
BCNSHS are experiencing because of this transition. Upon entering the threshold of
modernization and industrialization, hopefully, this innovation can be considered
not
only a temporary panacea to this pandemic but a long-term solution in giving
