Innovative Learning for the Digital Generation: Why Millennial Parents Are Choosing SmartClass

In today’s rapidly evolving world, education has to adapt to keep pace with technological advancements and the discovery of better ways to learn. One such innovation is SmartClass, an innovative DepEd-recognized homeschooling program catering to students from Grades 7 to 10.
Launched during the onset of the pandemic, SmartClass now has over 200 students – and the number of enrollees is growing. Today's parents recognize the unique needs of their children and are actively seeking progressive learning models that keep up with the pace of change, which is exactly what SmartClass offers.

Unlike traditional education models that rely on repetition and memory, SmartClass encourages students to research and explore on their own, working on problem-based lessons that require delving into multiple subjects to find solutions. This method exercises a child's problem-solving abilities, allowing them to develop skills that are essential for future leaders.
Innovative learning for the new generation

With SmartClass’ Lifestyle Adaptive Learning model, students can work at their own pace and pursue what sparks their interest, allowing for a truly personalized learning experience. This approach also promotes self-motivation, independent thinking, and problem-solving skills. SmartClass empowers students to take control of their education and learn in a way that suits their unique needs, helping prepare them for a rapidly evolving world.

Moreover, SmartClass represents an evolution of the traditional homeschooling paradigm, where parents take on the bulk of their child's education. With this home e-learning setup, parents can receive additional coaching to help them become more effective parent instructors. And when needed, children can also consult with individual Subject Matter Experts for seven different subjects, as well as Academic Coordinators who facilitate and monitor the student’s progress. This allows children to establish effective study habits, practice learning organization skills, and build the confidence needed to become independent learners. By providing a wealth of resources and guidance, SmartClass is committed to ensuring that every child receives a world-class education tailored to their unique needs and strengths.

SmartClass also has synchronous sessions, which typically last for an hour but can extend to 1.5 hours, depending on students' concerns. These sessions provide real-time interaction between students and teachers and allow for personalized attention and support, enhancing the learning experience.
Flexibility for uninterrupted education

With its flexible attendance policy, SmartClass students don't have to worry about their education being interrupted due to factors such as travel or other family circumstances. Instead of daily attendance requirements, parents are responsible for ensuring that their child attends both asynchronous and synchronous classes.

This unique flexibility is particularly suited to the new lifestyle developing among millennial parents who value experiences over possessions and prioritize travel and other activities that broaden their children's horizons. Additionally, SmartClass caters to the needs of students who have migrated abroad or are children of OFWs, ensuring they can continue their education seamlessly — no matter where they are in the world.

With SmartClass, education knows no boundaries, empowering parents to embrace new lifestyles while nurturing their children’s intellectual growth and development.

If you still missed the SIM registration deadline, you have a final grace period to comply with the law

Globe, TM, and Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi users who missed the July 25 deadline for SIM registration will already feel the impact of non-compliance, with their outgoing services and incoming calls deactivated.

But, as stipulated in the implementing rules and regulations of the SIM Registration Act, they still have five days- from July 26 to 30– to catch up and save their SIM from permanent deactivation. Their incoming SMS is still left active so they could receive a One-Time Pin for SIM registration.
"Globe recognizes the essential role of uninterrupted mobile and broadband services in our customers' daily lives. So, as provided for in the law, SIM users get this last chance to register their SIMs after missing the initial and extended registration deadlines. Our team is committed to assisting our customers who need help. We strongly urge everyone to seize this opportunity to avoid any inconvenience," said Ernest Cu, Globe Group President and CEO.

To reactivate your SIMs and restore full mobile services, customers have to connect to a WiFi network and complete their SIM registration via Globe's dedicated platform at https://new.globe.com.ph/simreg or through the GlobeOne app. Globe Stores and EasyHubs are also open to assist walk-in customers who need assistance. Reactivation of full mobile services will happen within 24 hours following.

Failure to reactivate during this five-day grace period will lead to permanent SIM deactivation. As a consequence, all services, including incoming and outgoing text messages, calls, and mobile data connectivity will no longer be available. This may also impact access to active mobile applications, including banking, transport and other apps crucial for daily needs.

Starting July 31, 2023, all remaining load balances and promo registrations on unregistered SIMs will also be forfeited. Those with deactivated SIMs who need mobile services will have to purchase new SIMs, which will then also have to be registered to activate.

The SIM registration grace period is the final opportunity for customers to register their SIMs and secure their mobile services. Globe, TM, and Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi customers are encouraged to act swiftly to avoid the consequences of permanent deactivation.

Customers are reminded that SIM registration is an integral part of the broader initiative to strengthen customer security and prevent fraud. Completing this step is necessary not only to retain their mobile services but to ensure their digital safety.
