| Photoshop was all Greek to John* until Xyberguild introduced him to its capabilities to farm out designs for websites. His interest to explore the program has heightened. His Saturday session now a must-attend. This high school student should have known it: the training has just got him wired.
John is one of the beneficiaries of e-share program of Xyberguild, a group of IT students who turn into information technology to aid high school students in their academic preparation. What started as a plain hobby of the group three years ago has now become a byword. Xyberguild members have been teaching web design, HTML, and networking to junior and senior students in different high schools on Saturdays. Its brainchild program (e-share) has created ripples in public schools like Cabancalan NHS, Mandaue City Comprehensive NHS, and Talamban NHS where students and even teachers received skills training in IT. Xyberguild member Romnick Revalde revealed, “We get tips from observing our instructors to be able to teach. We have outlines and we need to try our examples first on ourselves.” Xyberguild presiden Arfritz Epiz enjoys the feeling of being able to impart his knowledge to young students. “Students enjoy the hands-on exercises and they explore the tools by themselves. It’s a good feeling that our training has enhanced their knowledge in computers.” Xyberguild adviser Neil Agbay is exploring tie-ups with other private schools to sustain the program and increase the number of beneficiaries. He said that it can be a good marketing tool for CITE’s three-year technician program. But most importantly, the best way to fill the digital gap the Xyberguild style. *not a real name |
