Director's Corner
How does a computer do its homework? It uses a bit of logic, a byte of memory, and doesn't take a break until it's done. 😂 Much like us at EdITH, always processing and innovating!
Welcome to a place where imagination meets education, where learning is an adventure, and where anything is possible. As the founding director of the Educational Innovation and Technology Hub (EdITH), I am thrilled to welcome you to our digital domain.
Here at EdITH, nestled within the heart of FEU Institute of Technology, our mission transcends the traditional boundaries of teaching and learning. We are dedicated to exploring and creating cutting-edge pedagogical tools that are rooted in evidence-based research. Our fundamental goal? To equip educators and learners alike with the means to navigate and thrive in the ever-evolving educational landscape.
Our projects range from building an educational metaverse to developing a digital portfolio platform that mirrors the engagement and accessibility of social media. The future of education is bright and brimming with possibilities, and at EdITH, we are at the forefront of turning these possibilities into reality.
I invite you to explore our website, discover our projects, and join us in our journey towards educational transformation. Let's innovate, inspire, and impact together.
Welcome to EdITH — we are Innovators in the School of Innovation.
Sincerely,
Manuel B. Garcia
Founding Director
