Digital Tools
Writing motivation (student profile: internet and computer technology are familiar media) Discourages or lessens instances of plagiarism
Virtual classrooms: syllabi, assignments, deadline reminders, file repository Transparency & Record Keeping: logging submissions, archiving of student output Organization: creation of lists, groups & subgroups LESS PAPER!
Specific software/ programs/ sites
![Page 7: My Hometown Project: Dianne Siriban](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061215/54800cf8b4af9f292d8b4628/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Inspiration for Project
Well-written, insightful blog entries that can be used as material for upcoming classes. Original content Higher motivation among students (sense of ownership & self, rediscovery of local culture, medium) Student output are easier to share and archive
Sample student research websites

Inspiration for Project
Given the right tools, skills and framework, college students can be good sources (and documentors) of local knowledge on their hometowns. Right Tools = writing skills + exposure to local culture + media (digital/internet)
Sample student research websites

Inspiration for Project
Existing applications & social networking sites that have proven useful Evernote and Click the City Twitter RSS Readers Virtual Classrooms
Useful digital tools

Research Philosophy / Framework
1. Core Principles of Media Literacy
2. Discover, Disclose, Connect, Co-create

Recommendations / Future projects
1. Further development of Tambolehr to suit the needs of other subjects; to increase its versatility as an academic tool.
2. Development of library resources (digital archiving, e-books, info retrieval system via tags)
3. Further development of the app itself, to streamline processes, regular updates, encourage co-developers, improve usability (keep a pulse on solutions, new software or APIs to integrate).
