Globe E-skwela highlights the right mindset and marketing strategy for distance learning

Tweet

Recognizing the challenges as the country shifts to distance learning, Globe myBusiness focused its 9th E-skwela webinar episode on preparations and transitions that parents, educators, and learning institutions can adapt to assure that learning does not stop in the new education platform. The discussion highlighted the mindset that teachers must have at this time of crisis as well as how schools can strengthen their marketing in the new normal.

Education experts Grace David, Chief Marketing and Partnerships Officer of Edukasyon.ph and Sabrina Ongkiko, teacher from Culiat Elementary School shared their knowledge and expertise on the subject matter, while Mark Arthur Abalos, Segment Head for Education of Globe myBusiness served as the moderator.

The power of “yet”

Participants of the webinar, mostly educators and school administrators, were asked to share the changes they are most afraid of with the shift to distance learning. When summarized, their answers revolve around the attitude of their students, the technology to be used in learning, job security, and maintaining work-life balance.

To help them address these uncertainties, Teacher Sabrina Ongkiko put focus on the right mindset in approaching the upcoming school year. She emphasized the power of “yet” --- which reflects a growth mindset.

“The growth mindset gives us the chance to improve and work on ourselves,” she said, speaking about teachers who are apprehensive about the use of digital platforms of learning. “Beyond just confidence, it is admitting that there are things you still don’t know. Afterall, it is in striving to improve that we eventually learn.”

She goes on to say that teachers should not get ahead of themselves and think that they must know everything immediately and be fully adjusted with distance learning. “It’s okay to try and experiment. Let’s be kind to ourselves,” she added.

When it comes to how teachers can support each other through this transition, Teacher Sabrina expounded on the importance of praise and empathy.

On the apprehension towards distance learning

Chief Marketing and Partnerships Officer of Edukasyon.ph Grace David laid out the current education trends in the country. Generally, the sector is ripe for innovation with strong support from the government. With the pandemic happening, the digital transformation in education has been greatly accelerated and education issues were also magnified.

Another notable trend is the transfer of private school students to public schools as parents face unemployment coupled with additional costs for gadgets to be used in distance learning. Some are still not sure about the effectiveness of this new format compared to the traditional classroom set-up--mainly driven by factors such as poor internet connectivity, lack of gadgets, low family income, fear of contracting COVID-19, and doubts around schools delivering distance learning.

“It is our job to make students and parents feel confident that distance learning could work and the experience of learning something new can happen even if there’s not a teacher in front like in a classroom setting. That’s the challenge we need to address,” David emphasized.

Sending the right message

For some, distance learning may seem useless or too complicated, opting to forego this school year and just wait until face-to-face classes resume. Learning institutions, especially private schools, can encourage parents to enroll their children by crafting the right message and sending it to the right audience—the Gen Z.

“We are in a generation wherein deciding which school, course, or strand is no longer dictated by the parents or the family. This generation is making decisions together with their parents who are now also more open to listen to the preferences of their children,” added David.

Gen Z students want the power to choose and make decisions, to belong by simply being themselves, and to redefine success according to their own terms. However, the uncertainties of the current situation also led them to seek guidance when it comes to their education and career.

Caring For You And Your Plants

Tweet

Since most people are working from home and staying indoors, keeping a clean, safe, and stress-free environment is a must. As a result, people are finding more ways that will not only help maintain the zen and cleanliness at home but also contribute to one’s well being. Self-care is important more than ever especially to avoid any physical, mental, or spiritual burnout.

Nowadays, for example, more people are taking the time to establish and enjoy simple yet meaningful habits like owning plants. In a study made by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, taking care of greeneries is proven to help relieve stress, worry, and elevate mood. Taking care of plants is also a good way to keep in touch with the great outdoors by growing little bits and pieces of nature inside the household.

But in order for plants to successfully grow to help boost mood of the plant owners, the health of the owners should also be in-check to be able to take care of their plants properly. Keeping a clean and safe environment for both plants and owners is thus a must.

Here are a few plant-care tips and self-care reminders that one can embrace to ensure not just a healthy lifestyle but also a clean and healthy home environment: 

1. Breathe

Breathing techniques are good and essential for the mind and body, but this wouldn’t be as effective when the air surrounding the house is polluted and has harmful toxins and allergens. With Samsung Digital Appliances’ 90 sqm Air Purifier, there is no need to worry because its multi-layered purification can keep the air at home pure and safe, even in large areas. It not only extracts the larger dust particles but it also removes the harmful gases through its Activated Carbon Deodorization Filter. It also has a HEPA Filtration feature that captures even the ultrafine-sized dust to completely inhibit bacterial growth.

Plants too are in need of that clean and humid air in order for them to thrive. This becomes possible with the 90 sqm Air Purifier’s 3 Way Air Flow which accelerates the distribution of clean air in multiple directions. Healthy growth of house plants is definitely guaranteed when there is pure air circulating all day.

2. Give off good and positive energy

Life likes throwing off negativity from time to time. It can just be ignored, but an even better way to take it in is just to accept that it’s there, although focus should be on finding the good. Good energy attracts positive energy. One way to maintain positive energy in the house is to keep the place clean and in order. Aside from having to constantly tidy up the place, being able to breathe clean air should also be a priority.

For plants, positive energy means TLC from their owners. In a study performed by the Royal Horticultural, researchers discovered that talking to plants, reading to them, and cheering them on can help them grow faster. Aside from these simple acts of love, their surroundings should also have good airflow to avoid the browning and the crisping of their leaf edges. It’s a good thing that the 90 sqm Samsung Air Purifier can be remotely controlled. With simple touches on the SmartThings App, air quality can be instantly checked, and the device can be turned on and off even when one is away. This makes not just the plants happy, but also its homeowners.

3. Find stability, and just relax

A few minutes of meditation a day can make a huge difference in everyday life. It’s only natural for the mind to be busy and preoccupied with a lot of things, that’s why in order to stay grounded and to keep everything at peace, a few moments of soulful and mindful meditation is beneficial in keeping the mind, body, and breath united and in sync with one another. The 90 sqm Samsung Air Purifier’s Sleep Mode can create a soft and quiet airflow that is not just ideal for night time use but also very convenient during a slow and calm meditation session.

For plants to prosper, they also need to have their own comfortable spot and stable environment. They should have slight exposure to the sun and consistent air humidity. The 90 sqm Air Purifier’s wide purification reach is just perfect in keeping them happy, healthy, and well-developed.

4. A little sun goes a long way

Rays of sunlight might be the reason why sleep slumber gets interrupted, but there is no doubt that a little sun in the skin never hurt anyone. Aside from the

fact that the sun is a natural source of Vitamin D and bone growth, it’s also known as a quick fix for those cranky moods. Moments spent sitting beside the windows while basking in some sun gives the mind vitality and energy, a sense of calmness, and focus. For sure, nothing could top the feeling of sun in the skin and pure clean air breeze. The 90 sqm Samsung Air Purifier’s Auto Mode senses the air pollution level and automatically adjusts the power and fan speed depending on the need. It doesn’t just save effort, it also reduces energy. 

The right amount of light is also what plants need to keep going. For them, light is their only source of food. It’s what strengthens them, nourishes them, and keeps them alive. Chasing the sun in a humid environment can be their own version of destressing, and letting loose while thinking of just happy thoughts.

Self-care might not be as easy and light as taking care of greeneries, but just like with plants, there are good long-term effects on it. Look forward to greater days ahead with these simple ways, and with innovative appliances meant to make everyday lives better. 

Samsung is also gifting great reduction offers, and free premium products on its biggest annual blowout, the Samsung Blue Month Sale. Purchase the 60 and 90 sqm Air Purifiers and take home either a Samsung Steam Microwave Oven or a Galaxy M11 phone. Hurry and get the best deals as this promo runs until September 30 only!

We made the Fortune Global 500 list for the second time, ranking 422nd, up 46 places from last year. With 2020 being Xiaomi’s 10th anniversary, we have upgraded our core strategy to ‘Smartphone X AIoT’, with AIoT revolving around our core smartphone business, enabling us to lead the future way of smart living. Looking forward to the next decade, we will firmly adhere to our ‘three guiding principles’ - never cease to explore and innovate, continue to offer products with strong price-to-performance ratio, and seek to make the coolest products, so as to let everyone in the world enjoy a better life.”

Firmly Adhere to the “Three Guiding Principles” and Maintain Xiaomi’s Position in Premium Smartphone Market

Amid the challenges brought by COVID-19 on the global smartphone market, Xiaomi adhered to three guiding principles – “never cease to explore and innovate, continue to offer products with the price-to-performance ratio”. Revenue from the smartphones segment was RMB61.952 billion and RMB31.628 billion in the first half and second quarter of 2020 respectively, and the smartphone shipments reached 28.3 million units.

According to Canalys, in the second quarter of 2020, Xiaomi ranked 4th globally in terms of smartphone shipments, and its market share stood at 10.1%. In overseas markets, shipments of its premium smartphones, with retail price of €300 or more, went up by 99.2% YoY in the second quarter of 2020. Driven by the higher proportion of sales from mid- to high-end smartphones, the average selling price (“ASP”) of the Group’s smartphones increased by 11.8% YoY and 7.5% QoQ.

The Group insisted on implementing the dual-brand strategy and yielded significant results.

In August 2020, Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 Ultra, which achieved a DXOMARK score of 130 for overall camera performance, once again ranking 1st globally at the time of launch.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi also launched its smart factory recently with a total investment amount of RMB600 million, opening up an era of smart and manufacturing at Xiaomi’s factories. The Mi 10 Ultra is the first mass-produced ultra-high-end model of the Xiaomi Smart Factory.

Upgraded Core Strategy of “Smartphone X AIoT” to Build a Smart Life

Revenue from the IoT and lifestyle products segment was RMB28.237 billion and RMB15.253 billion in the first half and second quarter of 2020, respectively. Xiaomi’s global TV shipments still amounted to 2.8 million units, achieving YoY growth despite a decline in the overall TV market. According to All View Cloud (“AVC”), in the second quarter of 2020, the Group’s TV shipments in mainland China ranked 1st for the 6th consecutive quarter and ranked among the top five globally.

In the second quarter, Xiaomi introduced two flagship products under the new Mi TV Master Series, further expanding its footprint in the premium market. In July 2020, the Group introduced its first OLED TV, Mi TV Lux 65” OLED. In August 2020, it launched the second ultra high-end TV within the Mi TV Master Series-Mi TV LUX Transparent Edition, which is the world’s first mass-produced transparent TV.

To fulfill the various demands of the consumer worldwide, Xiaomi’s smart TVs entered more markets, including Poland, France and Italy during the second quarter. In July 2020, Xiaomi held its first global Xiaomi Ecosystem Product Launch and released a series of new products, including the Mi Smart Band 5 and Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic.

Recently, Xiaomi Founder, Chairman and CEO Mr. Lei Jun distributed a letter to employee, announcing that Xiaomi’s core strategy will be upgraded to “Smartphone x AIoT” in the next decade to drive synergistic benefits, with smartphone remains as the cornerstone to the Group’s business, while AIoT will build a smart life around smartphones to let Xiaomi truly lead the future way of smart living

As of June 30, 2020, the number of connected IoT devices (excluding smartphones and laptops) on Xiaomi’s IoT platform reached approximately 271.0 million units, representing a YoY increase of 38.3%.

In addition, the Group developed the multi-screen collaboration function, which support cross-device photographing and document editing. Going forward, the Group will continue to enhance the connectivity between smart devices, and offer more intelligent user experiences and application scenarios, thereby bringing global Xiaomi users to the forefront of future smart living.

Increasing Contribution of Diversified Internet Services to the Group’s Revenue

Revenue of the internet services segment amounted to RMB11.808 billion and RMB5.908 billion in the first half and second quarter of 2020 respectively. In the second quarter of 2020, the MAU of MIUI increased by 23.3% year-over-year to 343.5 million, while the mainland China MAU of MIUI was 109.7 million.

In the second quarter of 2020, advertising revenue increased by 23.2% YoY to RMB3.1 billion, driven by the rapid growth in overseas advertising revenue, as well as the gradual recovery in advertising budgets in mainland China. Internet services revenue outside of advertising and gaming from mainland China smartphones, including those generated from the Youpin e-commerce platform, fintech business, TV internet services and overseas internet services, increased by 39.5% YoY, accounting for 39% of its total internet services revenue.

Impact of the COVID-19 outbreak

In April and May 2020, several of the Group’s key markets implemented strict lockdown measures and the sales were greatly impacted. As business restrictions were gradually lifted, sales have recovered tangibly.
