Story:
The old, dusty bookstore was a haven for Amelia. She loved the smell of
aged paper and the quiet hum of turning pages. Today, she was searching for a first
edition of "Pride and Prejudice," her favorite novel. As she browsed the shelves, a
faded, leather-bound book caught her eye. It was titled "The Whispering Woods,"
and its cover depicted a shadowy forest with an eerie glow. Intrigued, Amelia
opened the book. The first page contained a single sentence: "Beware the whispers,
for they hold secrets."
Amelia felt a shiver run down her spine. She decided to take the book home,
captivated by its mystery. As she read, she was transported to a world of whispering
trees and hidden pathways. The story followed a young girl named Elara who
discovered a magical portal within the woods. Elara, curious and adventurous,
ventured through the portal, only to find herself in a land where the whispers held
power. She learned that the whispers could grant wishes, but at a terrible cost.
Elara, faced with difficult choices, had to decide whether to trust the whispers
or follow her own heart. The story culminated in a climactic confrontation where
Elara had to choose between her own desires and the well-being of her friends. In
the end, she learned the true meaning of courage and selflessness, choosing to
protect those she loved even at the cost of her own wishes.

a new kind of society, a new relationship to the earth, a new experience of being
human." - Charles Eisenstein
<https://www.azquotes.com/quotes/topics/new-normal.html>
BEFORE the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), we prefix what we
say with "the 21st century." We used to say or write "21st century teaching, 21st
century learning, 21st century knowledge and skills," defining these as the 21st
century competencies- critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity.
However, with the coronavirus pandemic, we have a new catchword - the new
normal. The Oxford Dictionary defines catchword as "a briefly popular or fashionable
word or phrase used to encapsulate a particular concept." So, what is the concept
embracing the new normal? The American Dictionary defines new normal as "a
previously unfamiliar or atypical situation standard, usual, expected."
<https://www.lexico.com/definition/the_new_normal>
What has become 'normal'? The lockdowns, quarantines, masks, washing hands,
taking vitamins and nutrient-rich food to nurture health, covering a coughing mouth
and sneezing nose, physical distancing, and the omnipresent support technology are
a "must" to continue for a lifetime. These and more compose the new normal. Before
Covid-19, Industry 4 (the robot age) of Agenda 2030, robotics was already a popular
focus; much more at this time where robots execute routine jobs. Nowadays, robots
serve in healthcare, social work, business and trade, food, and in other aspects of
human activity. Various organizations/companies are resorting to virtual private
networks and voice-over protocols, especially that meetings, negotiations,
consultations are mostly virtual. As Dr. Henry Chan wrote on May 10, 2020 in The
Manila Times, “Telecommuting represents a new paradigm in office work. If remote
work becomes more common after the Covid-19 pandemic
employers may decide to reduce lease costs and hire people from regions with
cheaper labor costs. Companies will use 5G and information and communications
technology." <www.manila times.net > opinion > columnists > 10-tech..>. (As an
aside, 5G is the fifth generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard
after 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is
designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together, including machines,
objects and devices.) <www.qual comm.com > invention > 5g > what-is-5g>
Semester, trimester, quarterly terms? Up to this early June, Covid-19 is not into its
second wave, and we pray that there shall be no other. PERIOD. (The so-called
referral to a second wave spawned some debates in the higher echelons of our
government). However, there can be no possible firm and uniform plans for formal
schooling where technology accessibility is concerned. We are unsure how future
days would be defined Covid-wise. Several tertiary and basic institutions have
postponed graduation to next school year (SY). It may be a goodly far-off future,
before we can comfortably define our enrolment size, whether to cut down on or
41
replace or shorten degree programs with certificates, planning of reviews,
examinations and graduations. Universities on a non- semester schedule may have
to adjust to what the official schedule would be the next SY, that is, if the national
ministering bodies (the Department of Education or DepEd and the Commission on
Higher Education or CHED) will set strictly a school's term format. Before the
pandemic, state universities and colleges were to begin an August term. Adjusting
could be easier for institutions on trimestral schedules. We have semesters,
trimesters and summers terms, why not quarterly? I recall that in the middle '50s,
higher education institutions (HEIs) were on a quarterly schedule. The maximum we
students could take was twelve credit units or four lecture subjects. A quarterly term
ends after two and a half months. Laboratory subjects were adjusted accordingly.
Would a quarterly term be considered in the new normal?
Learning in the new normal. Blended learning is not wholly new. Philippine
universities, such as the University of the Philippines Open University, have used
blended learning. In the new normal, all schools will have blended or purely on-line
courses. Training in using teaching and learning platforms will be available for both
teachers and students. DepEd, CHED and the Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority have issued and will continue to issue notices much like the
March 22, 2020 notice of India's secretary of HE sent to India's HEIs. The said notice
suggested to the teaching and research academics "to utilize this lockdown period
for various academic activities including (a) on-line content development, online
teaching and online evaluation, (b) prepare lesson plan and develop instructional
materials and (c) carry on research, write articles and prepare innovative questions
or question bank, etc." Furthermore, that teachers and students effectively utilize "the
University Grants
Commission's [array of] e-learning platforms," which include massive open online
courses, the
Consortium for Educational Communication-University Grants Commission, Library,
Shodhganga.<https://www.iitm.ac.in/sites/default/files/covid19_circulars -
registraro.pdf> (Shodhganga is a digital repository platform of 260,000 Indian
electronic theses and dissertations for research students to deposit their PhD theses
and make them available to the entire scholarly community in open access.)
