BLOGGERS BLOGGING BLOGS

Social media is one of the best ways to disseminate information, as internet users spend a significant amount of time on these platforms - googling, looking for news, or simply connecting with relatives, friends, and acquaintances.

 One of the activities in my ICT (Empowerment Technologies) class is to identify the appropriate web platform for promoting social change. Students are assigned to identify a problem in their respective communities (e.g., littering, stray dogs/cats, improper garbage disposal, blocked drainage, noisy neighbors, snatching, vandalism, etc.). They are then asked to create a website where they can post or blog about these issues, aiming to persuade both community leaders and residents or homeowners to help solve the problems in their area.

The social media platforms my students used to raise awareness about their chosen community issues include social networks (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) and blogs and forums (e.g., Blogspot).

Here are some of the community problem-related blogs submitted by my ICT students during SY 2016–2017:
