As we reminisce and go back from the first meeting of CWTS++, we students are excited about the things we are going to do, new things that we will learn, and new skills that we will develop. Now, we learned new things above our expectations. We learned values which helps us to be inspired and motivated in helping other people in their communities. We able to do things that can help and serve not only for an individual but also for the whole community that doesn’t need to go hand in hand but through the use of our technologies even if we our at home we can serve and help many people. By that, our instructor conducted a program called Mini Mapathon which is the goal of the program is to give opportunity for us students of CWTS++ to apply or pass the things that we’ve learned and experienced to other people who doesn’t know about what we are doing or why we are doing it. Therefore, we were asked to bring our own guest in the mini mapathon so that we can share our knowledge that we’ve learned and also to inspire and encourage people.

On our second mini mapathon, we also did the same thing in the previous mapathon. First we started from the introduction of our guests. Second, our instructor gave us a short trivia about the very first Philippine map. Third, our instructor let us introduce open street map to our guest. Fourth, our instructor showed the statistics on how well are we doing in the class. And lastly, we shared our knowledge about mapping to our guests and taught them how to use Java Open Street Map(JOSM) for them to use it as a tool to manipulate the data that they have in mapping.

When the time I decided to walk around on my neighborhood, I discovered many things that I never seen and been before. I saw new buildings/establishments, apartments, carwash, convinient stores, and etc. I was amazed when I saw these new things on my neighborhood because I realized that the last time I went to that place was a long time ago.

After wondering about the new things that I found, I decided to map it. And then I realized that the map of my neighborhood or field paper that I have is not updated or accurate to what I see on my neighborhood. Like there are new buildings and establishments located at this place but it is not shown in my field paper.

In addition to that is there buildings that are no longer existing, yet it’s still shown in the field paper. So I decided to fix and edit my field paper so that It can be accurate and correct when I decided to upload it in web.

Walking and roaming around on my neighborhood is fun and exciting though it was scary at first because first of all, I don’t usually go out in our condo and our neighborhood is known for being a chaotic area. But I was confident that time that there will be no trouble that could happen because it is morning. furtheremore, I added new buildings and removed and renamed buildings that are no longer existing.

Lastly, I am happy that this assignment in cwts++ served as an opportunity for me to explore my neighborhood that leads to a result of discovering new things that I’ve never been encountered.
