  1. I went there at 10AM for the registration. It was okay that I got a chance to interact with teachers from different ethnicity. I can relate to communication theory (specifically interpersonal communication)in which I'm not only interact with few teachers but they are nice people as well.

  2. I went this morning with four of my colleagues at 9:30am. We went ahead and joined other teachers register for the PIBBA conference. We noticed that the PIBBA conference will start at 4:00pm. Relating this to Gardner's theory of learning,interpersonal intelligence is what I learned today.

  3. I went there at 9:30AM for the registration. I got surprised when I heard that the program will start at 4:00PM. So I just finished the register and went back to COM. I cannot attend the opening ceremony because I have class at 3:30PM wit DR.Ferrer.

  4. Everything went well this morning at Nett School. I met many teachers and most of them looked familiar, especially those teachers from Pohnpei. Since today is the first day of the Pibba International Conference, I just asked other teachers that I knew the informations about the registration step and did as they told me to do. After the registration they told me that the opening ceremony will be held at 4:00PM then I got back on the bus and leave. Anyways,I really enjoy interacting with the teachers that I met there this morning.

  5. Today, I was surprise seeing only five of us on the bus at 9:30. It makes me feel even more nervous seeing just a few of us. Then when we reach/arrive at Nett, we see a lot of cars and a lot of teachers who seems familiar. While waiting under the sun and talking, our teacher came and talk to us which makes me feel much better because it was my first time to join Pibba conference along with other teachers. In addition to that,as we were waiting in line, two of our classmates (now teachers) came and greet us and we did the same. One of them works there so we ask him questions regarding the Pibba conference and we realize that its starting at 4:00. Thats the sad thing because I have class at 3:30 so I won`t be there when it starts. So I finish up my registration and went back into the bus. To conclude, I see a lot of different behaviors today that relates to my topic behavior modification. If I had to give examples, it will take up a lot of space. Kalangan and I think this is all I have to say about this wonderful experience I had today.

  6. We went to the Bibba conference at 2:30AM. I only saw two people that I know because there we're only few people there at that time. It was lunch time when we got there and we didn't meet many teachers. However, the registration went well and I did registered my name and left. The man who registered us told us that the conference will start at 4:00PM.

  9. Good morning Dr.Rivera. I was able to register for the PIBBA at Nett Elementary yesterday. Unfortunately, I just stayed until the ceremony started then I had to leave early because we live so far away so we had to leave early. We were not able to get any bags because they say that they ran out of bags.

  10. I went to the PIBBA conference site in Nett Elementary School with some of my classmates at 12:30 yesterday. I can observe that the organization committee were not doing a great job in organizing the conference. Some of the teachers that are attending summer school at COM are able to register without paying $5.00 but us the teachers that are attending your class will have to paid for the registration fee.I did not register so I came back to COM to work on my plan for teaching the students in my community.

  11. On June 25, 2012 I went to the Pibba conference at Nett Elementary School at about 1:30. I was able to register, but I did not get any package that was supposed to given to everyone. I only get my name tag and paid the five dollars. I went there and found out that the opening ceremony will start at 4 o'clock then I left.

  12. Good morning, Dr Rivera! How are you doing? I went to Register too but I can not because Carlina Henry told me that all teachers attending COM are not suppose to come to the PIBBA confrence without her not understanding my situation so I left to COM to do my work for our class. I hope I can join the confrence today without any problems..Thanks Maria!

    PIBBA CONFERENCE 2012
    DAY 1
    The 31st PIBBA CONFERENCE took place at Nett Elementary School. The first event that took place was registration. During the registration all the participants got their packages which contain all the events that will be taking place during this 5 days conference. The opening ceremony of this important conference continued at 4:30 in the afternoon. Pohnpei PIBBA chapter president presented welcoming remarks to all of the participants at this conference. This welcoming remarks was generally saying that preservation is the islands' calling cards. We need to preserve our language and culture because it is our identity. The key note speaker for this important day was Dr. Mauricio from Pohnpei. In short the keynote speaker was mainly concern about the two simple questions which are: 1) why do I sometimes feel strange in my home land? 2) Who am I? The final speech was made by his Excellency Iso Nahnken of Nett. All the participants had chances to have dinner together which was followed by entertainment from PDOE choir and other entities.

  15. I went to Nett School at 1:30 p.m only Monroe David was doing the registration. I added my name to a list of teachers names and left because I can not pick up my name tag. I went back and registered at 3:00 p.m.

  16. Good morning Dr. Rivera, yesterday June 25, I arrived at Nett-(the Pibba conference site)early at 8:30, and the registration had started. I met some teachers from Pohnpei who were also registering for the pibba. I was really disappointed because I found out that there will be no session, so I took my name tag and my package and headed down to COM. When I finished with my class at com, I went back to Nett school to sign the attendance sheet for PDOE employees. Then I went home to prepare for my action research plan teaching. Kalahngan

  17. I went to Nett school yesterday. I was excited already about what to learn from the conference, but unfortunately, the ceremony had to start in the afternoon. So, all we did that day, me and my other colleagues, was just registering our names. I hope that today would be that day to learn new techniques or strategies from experts and other teachers.

  21. I though I already posted my comment yesterday, but then now it's not here. Anyways, yesterday I was prepared for the first day of the PIBBA Conference held at Nett Elementary School. I was hoping to go down to the place and started to gather information and learn a lot of new things,yet we only went there to register. The conference will start at 4:00 PM.Unfortunately I had to come back to the campus because I still had one more class at 3:30 PM. Therefore, I only went down in the after noon registered, there were only few people there. I only saw chairs already set and everything.

  22. Last Monday, I went to Nett Elementary School around 12:30 looking forward to gain some new theories and techniques that could be of special use for future purposes. Sadly, I only had the chance to register and rush back to COM for my other class (Fine Arts) at 3:30.
    Redundancy are my ideas.

  24. Excuse the very late delay of my post...due to well, not knowing how to post in the first place. So on this day I was prepared for the conference, not knowing it was not to begin till the next day. So all I did was paid the fee and register for the PIBBA conference.
