Teaching My Students How to Blog

I did not found it hard to teach the topic for most of the students regularly surfs the net and knows the ins and out, specially email, egroups and friendster and they are on their 3rd to 4th year in college.

The First Engineering Research Conference with the theme: “Engineers, Engineering, Re-Engineering: Facing the Challenges of Research and Development” at the Ninoy Aquino Leaning and Resource Center at PUP, Manila from March 12-16 2007 gave me this opportunity and motivated me to conduct more researches. This research was done with the partnership of my good friend Pedrito M. Tenerife Jr., he provided the interpretation of the data gathered and help me make the final paper for this research that will be published in a research journal.
