An Assessment of the Seminar-Workshop

By Edna Gonzales

This seminar-workshop on Online Journalism: Web Writing for Literature, Cultural, and Historical Content is a timely and apt topic. It has immersed me into the world of literature and to the e-world. This 3-day experience has awed, challenged and enlightened me.

The topics that greatly impressed me included the following:

a) The survey of Philippine Literature and Culture
b) The comparisons of the literatures of the world
c) The writers and artists of the Philippines and other countries
d) The culture and history of nations in relation to their respective literary works
e) Mental exploration of the internet-based concepts
f) Tips on how to write web-worthy articles

The topics made me realize how rich is Philippine literature and culture and how talented are our Filipino writers. The topics on world literature have also showed me that Philippine literature could stand at par with those of the Asean literature. The topic about the compunters has indeed enlightened me on this modern technology gadget.

The sesions were conducted and facilitated by the resource persons with expertise and excellence that made learning enjoyable and worhtwhile.
