I hope you enjoyed watching The Net yesterday. The movie depicts the extreme dangers and risks that the online revolution poses alongside the advantages and conveniences it offers. To address and minimize the negative impact of technological innovations, laws have been made to protect people and institutions. There are international laws as well as national ones that apply within country borders. Here in the Philippines, we have Republic Act 8792 (See http://www.dti.gov.ph/Laws.php?contentID=9 for a copy). And if you are seriously interested in this and want to know more, the IRR (Implementing Rules and Regulations) of the law can be found here: http://www.neda.gov.ph/references/RAs/IRR_RA8792.htm
I want you to (at least) browse through these. This is all I am asking you for this week's online assignment. I still owe you a classroom lecture/discussion on blogging and so I think you deserve a break from further writing assignments for now.
We won't meet on Tuesday, July 10. But I want you to meet your respective groups to discuss your blog proposal. Use the following as your guide:
1. Project: Group blog
2. The Concept: Title/theme; state the concept; What makes it unique? What will it cover? Why do readers need this blog?
3. Editorial Content: General topic/s; specific topics; sections; editorial objective and guidelines; Are there existing similar blogs?
4. Target Readers: Have clear demographics
5. Any advertising potential?
Have a rough draft ready when we meet again in class on the 17th. I'll make your proposals part of our discussion.
You all have a productive time away from the classroom ;-)

its good to have laws like this. definitely, this is one way to prevent cyber crimes. especially for kids who knows how to surf the net.
Thanks for the break maam ^_^
Regarding the human security act of 2007, for me being a student would provide an "assurance" from the government that every individual within our country would be safe from all terroristic acts of some groups.
I do hope that after the release of the act, Filipinos would walk even at night with no feelings of being paranoid to harm and crimes.
