The content standard that this CyberFair project had addressed is the goal to spread awareness of institutions in Muntinlupa that promote the well-being of the city’s citizens.

Muntinlupa City’s Mission nurtures it’s citizens with a sense of utility—playing a key role in influencing this project’s direction.

What new skills did you learn?
In this year’s CyberFair, it was more than important—especially in time-pressed situations—to manifest a sense of adaptability, even more with issues that seemed unpredictable. Meanwhile, throughout terms of technicalities, nurturing the essential skills in analyzing data, community speaking, and design were most needed. With the new-learned expertise, novice participants and those experienced have definitely made this project one of a kind.
What group concepts did you practice?
One thing for sure, it's difficult to navigate this large of a project by oneself. With this, being in a group setting where well-divided roles are given definitely benefited each and everyone’s workload size. With proper communication being actively enforced, our team can share links, split tasks, and effectively converse using online platforms like Gmail and other Google devices.
How do you better understand specific ideas?
With limited understanding of narrow concepts, our CyberFair team has encountered multiple obstacles. Although there had been bumps on the road, utilizing research sources and attending official meetings had enhanced and cultivated our knowledge in the certain topics said, and broadened our horizons—making it easier to interpret.
How does your project fit into the requirements for your school or class?
As a school that promotes a heart of service, this project is ideal in acknowledging that quality. With the Bulilit and Teen Health Workers Program, it demonstrates our need to advocate this as a way to spread awareness of what the youth can contribute to society.
What discoveries did you make about your educational system? About the role you play in your school community?
Our educational system encourages students in using digital tools for the greater good, in ways such as communication, research, and collaboration. With this support, we, as students, are empowered to represent our school community in the CyberFair and other projects—contributing to society as a whole.
Has using the Internet for teaching and learning been more effective than traditional methods? If so, explain?
Definitely—if not, even better. Using technology’s advancements, working becomes quicker and easier for each and everyone. With platforms such as Google, which includes an abundance of applications for multitasking, just a swift of a click can already give you an answer immediately.
What information tools and technologies did you use to complete your CyberFair project?
This project was enabled through applications like Google Docs, Google Sites and Gmail. Using Google Docs, we create project descriptions, meanwhile Gmail effectively assists our team—promoting communication across platforms with ease. Additionally, the Bulilit and Teen Health Workers Program did not have sufficient information online, so this inspired us to interview first-hand members for the Program’s concept. Lastly, of course, with the use of Google sites, our CyberFair project has become possible.

THE FACES OF CYBERFAIR: AMBASSADORS AND SPOKESPERSONS
In what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person?
As ambassadors and spokespersons for our Cyberfair project, we made sure we were able to display all information accurately and precisely for the Bulilit and Teen Health Workers. We were able to do this by holding an interview with Dr. Atienza, Dr. Zamora, Dr. Delos Santos and Dr. Villena. In this meeting, we introduced our Cyberfair project to them and asked questions--gaining insight regarding our project's main topic: the Bulilit and Teen Health workers. Even after the interview, we proceeded to exchange online documents and messages to make sure all information displayed was true to the BTHW.
The development of our website was for the greater good of the community, and we helped them realize that by making a platform that was not only informational, but also fun to explore through its interactions and colorful designs. By this, we were able to act as ambassadors and spokespersons for the International Schools Cyberfair as we shared our project and its purpose to the officers of the Bulilit and Teen Health Workers.
Our CyberFair project has strengthened the bond between our school and the Muntinlupa community by raising awareness of local health initiatives.
