STI Convention in Bacolod City

The STI 14th National Youth Convention went to the city of smiles for another run of their spectacular roadshow presentation. Bacolod is the fourth leg of this nationwide convention that seeks to give STI students additional learnings.


This Bacolod leg is somewhat different from the other provincial legs since we were having morning and afternoon sessions just to accommodate the students from the STI College Bacolod, STI Education Center in Bacolod and students from STI Dumaguete.


Spanky and I experimented this time on his Blog topic. Unknown to many, STI students were given user accounts by Google. That can be their platform in starting their blog. Since Jojo brought along his Smart Bro dongle, we attached it to the computer and was online during the presentation of Spanky. So what we wanted was a demonstration of how to start a blog.


Chad Lucero, a second year student from STI Dumaguete gamely volunteered for this one as he we will make a blog for him. After checking his email we opened his STI Google mail chadlucero@dumaguete.sti.edu and registered it for Google Accounts and later Blogger.com. Then it was time to Blog. We logged on to his new blogsite http://chadtlucero.blogspot.com/ and made two entries. One was about our speaker and the other was a greeting to the STI Dumaguete delegation. The exercise made the students realize that its as easy as 1-2-3 to start blogging.


Edgar Guzman, Smart commercial model and Daisy Siete mainstay wowed the crowd in his entertainment portion. All went well with the convention most specially the meals we had after as seen in the posts in this blog. Hope to be back in Bacolod again because the people there are simply amazing.
