My experience during the IT installation, Aguinaldo Nat'l High School

The iSchools project spearheaded by the CICT is now on its implementation phase targeting different public high school beneficiaries across the country. The objective of this project is to enhance government computerization efforts to all public schools and to make it art of the curriculum. This is a great opportunity for the Filipino children to be more knowledgeable in manipulating a computer and to be globally competitive.

Educational Ideas I Learned During the Online Writing Techniques Workshop in Palawan

ONLINE WRITING TECHNIQUES

 

Session 1: Online Environment by Luz Rimban
Online writing is:

Principles:

a. Identify your audience – age, profession

What they are looking for?

Why do they visit your site? Ex. www.sitesforteachers.com

b. Cut information overhead

c. Keep it short – short paragraphs; concise sentences; simple sentence construction; avoid moreover, however

d. Make it scannable – to get it at a glance, create visual clues, bullets, numbers, bold or highlight text

e. Layer Information – put vital information in short form

f. Chunk information – nonlinear (can be viewed in any order)

g. Package information – not SHOVELWARE or REPURPOSING – dumping information from original site

Travel Experience to Palawan

My dream of traveling to Palawan has just been realized. I was luckily chosen by Mr. Stradivary Caro, the Dean of the Institute of Computer Science of Ifugao State College of Agriculture and Forestry (ISCAF) and the project manager for the iSchools project in the area to represent the College for the “Online Writing Techniques Training.” The training was sponsored by Western Philippines University (WPU), one of the State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the country chosen by the Commission on Information and Communications Technolgy (CICT) as implementers for the iSchools project. The primary aim of the training is to strengthen the capability of SUCs for faster and updated documentation of all the roll-outs (community mobilization, trainings, evaluation, and other workshops) concerning the project.
