February Speaking Engagement in Cebu

I had a quick trip to Cebu City last February for Design Thinking in Education. 

And then took a photo op at the Tutoring Club Cebu branch. 

I had so many memories in Tutoring Club;

as a tutor in Alabang Branch and as a director in the Pasong Tamo branch. 

Tutoring Club has contributed much of my experiences and learnings in the Education Industry. 

Fueling Future Innovators

I have to say, I was very surprised to see my face posted in Letran IT Society's facebook. The first reaction I had was, "Where did they get my graduation photo??"

Turns out its the first photo that will pop-up if you google my name. Of course, thanks to this blog post I made when I was studying for my board exam.

Lol.. I hope they didn't really believe that I topped the board examinations. This was just some image I made in a Microsoft Word Document. I self-proclaimed that I topped the boards even before the exam even begun. It's what you call, "claiming it!" ... Well, I really didn't top the board exams but I did pass it! ... Aim for the moon, so that even if you miss... you will land on the stars. Right?!

They could have at least just asked for a photo. But no worries, they picked a good one anyway. I mean I do have a much more recent graduation photo. But it's okay. They made me look younger in social media. XD 

FUELLING FUTURE INNOVATORS 

Photos from the actual event:

I used to really have a bit of stage fright every time I get so much attention. I'm not really an attention seeker and I like to work in the background. But this recent speaking engagement gave me confidence and the push that I should continue to share my knowledge and inspire more students with what I have learned through out the years.

How Technology Enhances Teaching and Learning

Today's Seminar at FEU Institute of Technology. 

A tad late to acknowledge but I think I've already got ridden of my fear of Public Speaking. :D ... 

People don't believe me when I say I have fear of public speaking. I have these fears because I am worried of making mistakes or forgetting what I'm going to say.

Today, I made a lot of mistakes... I had to rephrase my sentences a lot of times... and often times I went blank because I was trying to think of what I was going to say next.

But I think my seminar went well regardless of my boo boos. My mistakes and blacking out gave me more room to actually connect with my audience. I was able to connect with them more as if I was having a conversation with them. 

Hopefully they learned something from the things I shared with them. Whenever I give talks like these, this makes me more motivated in reading and studying more so I can share the things that I have learned to other people. 

This is why I'm in the Education Industry. <3
