Bloggers' Kapihan 2 at the Ramon Magsaysay High School in Cubao, Quezon City!

As you all know, Bloggers’ Kapihan (BK) is an effort and initiative of some of the Philippines' most prolific young bloggers today. Its goal is to bring young bloggers together to discuss issues, matters, and trends affecting the blogosphere and the youth in general. BK also aims to provide a venue for young bloggers to meet up and expand networks inside and outside the blogosphere.

The resounding success of the first Bloggers’ Kapihan 1.0: Blogging Beyond the Basics at the Philippine Science High School in Quezon City is so evident by the ton of requests, from both students and teachers alike, to hold another event! Me and My Closeness were there at the inaugural launch, which was very well received by the PhiSci students. The event was graced by Manuel Quezon III, who focused on how to go about political blogging; Victor Villanueva, who elaborated on his experiences as a student blogger; and Abe Olandres, who discussed the various facets of blogging on technology. Everyone had a great time! I was very much surprised by the enthusiasm and interest shown by our young students during the question-and-answer advisory. Questions left and right were the order of the day!

In light of this, Bloggers' Kapihan will present Bloggers’ Kapihan 2.0: Blog Ed 101 on October 13, 2007, 1:30PM at the Ramon Magsaysay High School in Cubao, Quezon City. That's tomorrow! The event will focus on the importance of blogging in learning, learning in blogging, and blogging as a tool for alternative education.

Blog Ed 101 is in cooperation with the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT), a nationwide network of educators from different schools, colleges, and universities. Blog Ed 101 will feature some of the Philippines' prominent teacher-bloggers as guests. These include

• Sir Martin Perez, Social Studies teacher of the Philippine Science High School, who will give introductory concepts and tips on blogging as a tool for instruction;
  
  
• Prof. Danny Arao, assistant professor of the Department of Journalism at the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication, who will focus on how blogging can be instrumental for alternative education and how websites can be transformed into virtual classrooms;
  
  
• Mr. Tonchi Tinio, chairperson of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers, who will provide an overview on the advantages and disadvantages of the controversial CyberEducation Project of the Department of Education;
  
  
• Lalon dela Rosa, who is currently taking up his Certificate for Teaching Program at the Philippine Normal University Graduate School and is planning to teach high school English after. He will serve as the student-reactor of the event.

Be there! It will be an interesting and worthwhile experience!
And I kid you not!

Blog Ed 101 is sponsored by Digitalfilipino.com Club, Philippine Genre Stories, Pinoy Web Hosting Solutions, Phil-hosting.net, New Beginning, Ladygadfly, JaypeeOnline, and The ANiTOKiD.
