We conducted this campaign to carefully understand and keep the students awareness about the Academic Strand Shaming.

Rochelle Angela Gaspar
Project Manager
In creating our ICT project, I was, assigned to be the project manager. Being the project manager is such a big responsibility. There are times that I don't know what to do and I can't give ideas or suggestions but with the help of my groupmates, we are able to make it easy. In doing our infographic, we are able to do it as soon as possible because each of us gave ideas and/or suggestions but in creating our website, it was hard because we need to transfer all the content we made from Wix to Weebly. Despite of all the struggles, we still finish it successfully because all of us are responsible and do our assigned task.
As a student or an individual, I already have a background about ICT but Empotech tought and gave me more lessons that I can use in the future. Now, I appreciate even more the ICT and made me realize how important it is in our life that it can even change our society.

My experience in creating our ICT project was actually fun and good in feeling. It was fun because I have learned so much about our topic, Academic Strand Shaming. Also, we, as a group, help each other so that no one's left behind. It was also good in feeling because at the end of the day, we know that we might help someone who is suffering in this kind of social issue and we know that we can make a change, a SOCIAL CHANGE!
Before, I admit that I don't really have any idea or knowledge about ICT. Yes, I am using technology but I am not aware of it's importance . Now, after learning it, I can now understand and appreciate even more the technology and it's importantance in our life. I want to apply it now to my everyday life so that I can and/or may help someone in the future by being a responsible netizen.

At first, it was really hard for us think what social issue we will be giving attention but with the unity we have, we decided to raised awareness about Academic Strand Shaming since it was really visible in our school. Struggles, errors and mistakes have been made but as a group, we made it and finish the project successfully. As the time pass by, we need to update our viewers so that they will keep searching to our website.
Before, I was really struggling about ICT. I don't know what to do and when to start. But as the time pass by, I'm starting to give my full attention in this subject and study it very hard. Now, I realized that creating a website is possible if you will just give your time and effort to it.

It was a great experience in creating the ICT project because we know that we chose the right issue to make a social change. It was honestly hard to do it individually but since we worked as a team, it seems to be easy. While having this experience, I'm learning a lot of things like being independent. I've learned that even though it is a group work, you have to be helpful as possible and don't rely on the group leader.
ICT was my favorite subject in Junior High School and Empotech in my Senior High School. As a student and/or an individual, I'm curious about everything about this Empotech so even before the school days start, I tried to search everything related to it. I'm so excited to study this unit so after learning lot of things on it, I learned to be independent, confident and studious. So, I would like to thank my Empotech teacher for being the best teacher.

At the beggining of the creation of our ICT project, we are having a hard time to choose what topic we should do. Until such time, we suddenly think of Academic Strand Shaming because we, as STEM students, experienced this kind of social issue. In the process of doing the project, it was not easy because not all of us are capable of doing such thing. But with the help of others, especially our project manager, we made it. Cheering up and helping each other is the thing I love the most by doing our ICT project because we know that we can make a CHANGE!
Before taking STEM strand, I am very aware that STEM is not easy. Other people say that STEM is always on top but I want to prove them wrong. We are entering school to learn new things and for the future and not to drag each others down. With the help of the Empowerment Technology subject, we can now make a change.

In creating the ICT project, I must say that it was very challenging because we should think outside the box and see the birds eye view. We must be very careful in giving informations so that our viewers will trust us and raised awareness and make a change. Empowerment Technology is a new subject to me though it was quite familiar to my computer subject in the previous years. Before, my knowledge about this subject is not totally developed like editing videos, creating website and infographics. But now, I can stand on my own. I can now edit videos, create websites, do infographics and help other people to make a social change with the use of technology. And last, unity is our secret for us to finish the project successfully. Also, our Empotech teacher guided us and tought us how to handle the social media properly.

I must say that creating our ICT project is not easy as what others think. It was one of the most stressful but enjoyable thing we encountered. With this project, I have learned so much new things, helped me to open up my mind and understand even more our topic, which is the Academic Strand Shaming. We chose this topic because we want to motivate and encourage those students who are suffering in this kind of issue and make them realize their worth.
Way back in my Elementary and Junior High School days, I admit that ICT is the subject I abhor the most. I am not interested in anything that is related to it. But now, I just find myself using it very well. I have my accounts in different social medias and the things that I didn't expect that I can do, I'm actually doing it. Making a Facebook page and account in twitter are examples of it and one of the achievements I made in my life. To end this, Empowerment Technology subject helps me to grow as an individual and be independent to the things or tasks assigned to me.

My experience in creating our ICT project requires too many process. First, we need to have unity and work as a group. Next, we have to give our time so that we can finish it before deadline comes. And last, we must use our knowledge so that we can do it perfectly.
As a student and an individual, I really don't know how to start and what is the proper thing to do about ICT. But our teacher guided us and tought us the every step we should do. Our teacher supported our advocacy and told us what to improve or change in it. For me, developing individual's knowledge and skills are important things so that we can stand in our own in the future.
