Blogging  is an emerging medium one can use to express one’s ideas and opinions. Resident iSchools tech wizard Mr. Rodel Sinapilo discussed how this new medium can eventually be used to generate localized educational content.

Mr. Sinapilo’s presentation traced the brief history of blogging, its uses and different types. He highlighted the benefits of blogging for enhancing one’s audience reach. He even showed a short video clip to illustrate the adage “think before you post” referring to a blog’s ability to reach billions of readers.

Afterwards, participants were taught how to create their very own WordPress account to jumspstart their blogging. They were guided by the speaker through a detailed and step-by-step use of WordPress.

The smart and good looking iSchools staff, Christian Placido Calma, shared his wit as he discussed online research.

The power of internet makes research work easier. Not everything in the net is factual, so the need to evaluate the resources is very important.

He stressed the responsibility of using the internet in conducting research. Plagiarism as part of his discussion has different forms, whether intentional or not. Proper citation for written and multimedia is encouraged to avoid such. He also introduced plagiarism checking software to the participants as a tool that will assist them in all their research work.

Wikipedia is discouraged to be cited for academic and scholarly purposes, it can only provide an overview of a certain topic.

The same goes with blog sites; planning is indeed valuable.

iSchools Project Manager, Ms. Antonette Torres, introduced the concept of site planning to the participants using the FreeMind tool – A free mind mapping software. FreeMind is a user friendly tool that helps the user organize and visualize the would-be outcome of their blog sites.

She gave a walkthrough of the software to the participants. Afterwards participants applied FreeMind in preparing their blog sites.

Who can best discuss writing other than a credible personality in journalism?

Mr. Joe Torres, presented a lecture about online writing. He started with a review of the basics of writing – the “ABCs” of writing. Participants reviewed techniques on how to effectively convey their ideas in written form while applying it online.

He shared that most people just scanned instead of read material from the internet because they are too busy and want to get the facts quickly. He suggested that the blog should be scannable for the reader to quickly find out what they searching in a short period of time. Moreover, he emphasized how blog writers must establish credibility.

To conclude, Mr. Torres emphasized that blog titles should be simple and should grab the readers’ attention.
