Reaction(SCITE Seminar)


The Student Conference in Information Technology Education(SCITE 2008) held a Seminar last August 21, 2008 at Paskuhan Village, City of San Fernando, Pampanga. The topics that they discussed were very interesting and will surely add to your knowledge about the latest trends in technology. This kind of activity will be of great help to you in the future.

The topics that were discussed are; Cyber Crimes, Voices in Animation, Game Development, Latest Trends in Hardware and Software and Outsourcing and Offshoring.

Engineer Gilbert Raymund Sison discussed about Cyber Crimes. He tells something about malwares, such as viruses, worms, trojans, spams, dialers, keyloggers, spyware, adware, hacking attacks and phishing. He introduced some of the suspicious website in which we can get some of these malwares and also taught us how to avoid them.

Voices in Animation was introduced by Mr.Pocholo Gonsalez, a known voice animator in the country. He showed us some videos about voice dubbing and taught us voice acting by using some of our body parts.

Another topic which is the Game Development was discussed by Mr. Ser Chay Hang. He discussed about the game creation flow, and who are the people behind Game development.

One of the topics that I really enjoyed was the Latest Trends in Hardware and Software. Mr. Tim Vergel de Dios showed us some of the latest hardware and software of today, such as the virtual notebooks, Microsoft Silverlight. Microsoft Expression Design, and MS Worldwide Telescope. He also taught us how to use some of them.

As an attendee I can say that the said seminar is a success. I really enjoyed the topics that were discussed, and learn from them. The only problem is the sound system, some of the speakers are not clearly heard.
