Narrative Report for Computers group

            We, the 5^th group, were tasked to report about computers. We reported last March 14 and 21, 2014. For our games, we conducted a “Logo Quiz” last March 14,2014. Last March 21, 2014, we presented our creative presentation in a form of informal debate.

            During our “Logo Quiz” game, the students were grouped according to their group during reporting. Three groups participated in the said game. During the game, the groups were tasked to identify the name of the 75 logos that will be projected in the white screen. These group of logos comprised of different websites. The sites that we have used were based on the list that we found in the internet under the keywords: “frequently visited websites” and “top 100 websites”. Mr. Chris Anthony Jawa edited the logos that were used. Unfortunately, we started late (about 7:45 AM) so we have to put the game under time pressure in order to maximize the time. The Statistics group won the game. They obtained a score of 63. They were followed by the Algebra group (61 points) and Geometry group (60 points). There were only three groups who participated instead of four because unfortunately, no one in the Number group were present in class that day. Initially, we were planning to conduct a “Pictionary” game but after consulting to Ma’am Cielo Blasing, she suggested that we conduct a “Logo Quiz” instead.

            We have presented an informal debate focusing on some of the positive and negative effects between an electronic classroom (e-classroom) and a traditional classroom. Ms. Gabrielle Palmares finalized the script that we used. We have selected such topic because, aside from it was suggested by our professor, there are so many websites in the internet that can offer the facilities of an e-classroom like Skype, Youtube, etc. In these sites, we can communicate with our teachers and view their instructions and lectures even if we are far away from each other. We can also watch the different lectures of other teachers from different universities for further references. These can widen the learning experience of the students. We also included in our presentation the setbacks such as the internet connection and the temptations that are brought by internet. We were able to communicate to each other despite on the conflict in our schedules through the internet.

            Our creative presentation was postponed for some meetings because our professor presented “The Pirates of Silicon Valley” which showed the story of two present-day “Big Time Businessmen/Billionaires” named Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and all the struggles they have encountered in making Apple and Microsoft what they are today.
