33rd MIBF Opening Day

At the opening day of the 33rd Manila International Book Fair it was a busy Wednesday at the Abiva-EduPower booth at the SMX Convention Center with a constant influx of booth visitors. Book lovers, school librarians, educators from public and private schools, families, and bus loads of students all convened at the venue. They were all treated to warm smiles, sincere greetings, and fabulous gifts.

At the  EduPower booth, visitors got to experience the power of online learning technologies.  Educators and parents got a chance to see how web-based immersive learning technologies make learning more effective, engaging, and fun.  Children and students had a blast trying out Moo-o and Newsmaker--two of EduPower's award-winning interactive learning tools. 


Moo-o is an extremely fun and engaging digital storybook that motivates children to read fluently and expressively as they become one of the characters in the story they are reading. NewsMaker is an easy, affordable, and totally engaging platform where students get to practice writing, speaking, and improve presentation skills. 

Immersive technologies keep learners interested and hold their attention far longer than the usual demonstration technique; and not only does it engage the young but also the old.  Kids and adults got all hooked by the attention grabbing graphics and image capture capability of EduPower's learning solutions. 


A video report-making contest was held within the EduPower booth; with the theme "It is More Fun in our School" students got to use the Newsmaker program to tell the world why it's great to be in their school. Students had a lot of fun doing their recordings.  Participants include students from New Era University, Philippine High School for the Arts, National Christian Life College, Emilio Aguinaldo Colleges, University of Sto. Tomas, Holy Angels University, and Polytechnic University of the Philippines among others. Announcement of the winning videos would be on September 16 at 11:00 am at the stage area of the SMX hall.
