I believe it is a relevant topic for the subject for multimedia today touches on topics like audio and video and a better way for students to appreciate multimedia is to let them try video blogging and podcasting. Mini iBlog @ CEL I love attending the iBlog Summit every summer for I learn lots of things about blogging.

It is my third semester to teach my students about blogging. I started it last year with my computer engineering students in PUP as an additional topic and to my civil engineering and AB History students in the Intro to IT subject. 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.

I felt good after my presentation, I realized that it’s not enough to work on research but it must also be shared to the people concerned. 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.
