the assigned teachers and staff must ensure the safety of the campers, while helping
them think, strategize, explore, and enjoy.

BASIC CAMPING REQUIREMENTS

Hiking, trekking, and mountaineering are often seen as synonyms of each other,
especially hiking and trekking. However, it is wrong to do so, as they are all different
activities with different purposes.

In all fairness, the cultural and geographical differences in the usage of the terms does
not make it easier to make a clear distinction between the words.

In general, the terms are used as follows:

● Hiking is the activity of long walks for the enjoyment of a natural setting.
● Trekking is the activity of walking long distances for pleasure in no particular
setting.
● Mountaineering is the sport or activity of climbing mountains.
Hiking is an outdoor activity of walking on beautiful, natural, charted paths called hiking
trails where signs are posted to guide hikers to their destination. These signs help
hikers avoid getting lost along the trails. Hiking is usually shorter that trekking.

2. trading equipment for trekking and hiking and
3. planning and org

Trekking, on the other hand is long journey on foot usually along challenging,
uncharted paths for several days. It enables campers to explore remote and
undeveloped places without any means of transportation. Trekking provides a close-up
view of the hills and mountains, forests hidden falls, wildflowers, and huge trees. It
allows campers to enjoy and interact with nature. Trekking can be short or long
depending on the campers’ choice.

Mountaineering is the activity of climbing mountains in challenging circumstances with

the goal of overcoming all hazards on the route safely and ultimately reaching the
summit of a particular mountain. It demands more than just physical fitness. It requires
much more technical expertise, as it involves crossing crevasses, climbing glacial walls,
steep slopes, roped together, and so on. It presents a series of challenges, and the
main goal is conquering a summit of a certain mountain.

BECOMING A TREKKING GUIDE

A trekking expedition is journey through a mountainous region for at least two days. It
may take place plays in high peaks and passes or be through difficult obstacle and
plains. The journey may be self-supporting, with participants carrying their own
equipment and food, or it may conducted with the help of trekking guide for easier
navigation. Trekking can also be conducted in a city or school.

ICT as Platform for Change

The Role of ICT in Social Change

1. The People Power Revolution-EDSA (1983-1986)

Without the radio broadcast, Filipinos would have not been into action that
helped change Philippine history.

The entire world applauded as the Filipino people joined together inunity to
oppose years of abuse of power and obvious corruption under the government of
Former President Ferdinand Marcos and his cronies. A large demonstration involving
two million Filipinos from all sectors took place along EDSA from February 22 to 25,
1986, using the radio broadcast of Radyo Veritas (civilians, political parties, military and
religious group).

2. EDSA Dos – considered as the first E-Revolution and narrated as EDSA Revolution
of 2001, also called by the local media as EDSA II or the Second People Power
Revolution. A four-day political protest from January 17-20 2001 that peacefully end the
administration of President Joseph Estrada. Advocates describe EDSA II as popular but
critics view the uprising as a conspiracy among political and business elites, military top
brass and Catholic Cardinal Jaime Sin.

3. Million People March – The Million People March, also known as the "Pork Barrel
Scam," was the Philippines' first ever on-going series of protests, conducted at Luneta
Park on August 26, 2013. Many Filipinos vented their rage by producing blogs,
websites, commercials, and even memes to voice their support for the Pork Barrel
Fund's abolition.
4. Yolanda People Finder – The People Finder database, powered by Google, was
born as a result of recent storms in Philippine history. During Typhoon Yolanda, the
Individuals Finder was a critical tool for people all across the world to trace their
relatives' whereabouts. This proved to be a success, and additional groups are now
using it to help locate family in the event of a disaster.

5. ICT Market in Philippines –. The Information & Communications Technology (ICT)

market in the Philippines is set to continue to grow in 2020 driven by wider digital
transformation initiatives taken by local enterprises and growing customers’ needs
despite COVID-19 crisis, according to Globaldata’s report, “Enterprise ICT Investment
Trends 2020 Philippines”.

ICT as a Medium for Advocacy

Change.org is an open platform that allows individuals from all walks of life to take
action on the issues that matter to them. It is frequently referred to as the "world's
platform for change," as anyone in the online community may start a petition and
encourage others to sign it.

ICT PROJECT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

Social Change refers to an alteration in the social order of a society. Social change
may include social institutions, social behaviors, or social relations. It can be done in
any form of multi-media.

You can make social changes through the use of campaigns. Campaigns are a work in
an organized and active way toward a particular goal; typically a political or social one.
A campaign will help you promote and organize your project properly.

A concept paper is a document used to convince a panel of potential funders to help a

product, program or services become a reality. It has five elements: Introduction,
purpose, description, support, and contact.

No society stays the same forever, but what specific causes drive it? Social change has
three main triggers:

A. Conflict
It is clear from a glance at our global history that conflict provokes social change.
Inequalities based on class, race, gender, religion, and more foster dissatisfaction and
anger. To address their situation, groups come together to fight for change.
Governments can be overthrown or restructured. Sometimes change happens quickly,
but oftentimes it develops over time in stages.

B. Demographic change
When the demographic makeup of a society changes, social change is inevitable.
Society’s demographics often change when births increase and/or people start living
longer. A bigger population affects the dispersal and availability of resources. An
increase in immigration or emigration also affects society.

C. Cultural change
New inventions, discoveries, and the spread of ideas contribute to cultural changes.
Consider the effect of the internet. It does not only change the culture of individual
countries but the entire world. It transformed how we communicate, as well as the
structure of countless industries.

Why is Social Change important? Social change occurs when societal institutions,
structures, and cultures undergo a significant shift. Famous examples include the
Reformation in 16thcentury Europe and the American civil rights movement. More often
than not, social change is slow. This is especially true of a global society.

Social change is a transformation of cultures, institutions, and functions. Most change

isn’t instantaneous.

Examples of social change

Social change often occurs as a result of social movements. There are countless
examples throughout history in every country on earth. Some of the most famous (many
of which are ongoing and/or evolving) include:
1. The Reformation
2. The abolition of the transatlantic slave trade
3. The Civil Rights movement
4. The feminist movement
5. The LGBTQ+ rights movement
6. The green movement

A concept paper is a document used to convince a panel of potential funders to help a

product, program, or service become a reality. Your teacher will play the role of the
sponsor and you have to convince him or her that your project is worth your time and
effort.
Five Elements of a Concept Paper:

1. Introduction – includes your group’s mission and vision and a brief introduction of
your project.
2. Purpose – includes the reasons why this project is worth your group and your
sponsor’s time, effort, and money.
3. Description – includes all the necessary information about the project. In ICT, it
involves the sites you are going to produce and the purpose of each and how they work
in unison.
4. Support – contains the budget needed for the project. Some concept papers do not
specify any amount requested from the sponsor.
5. Contact Information – includes information on how the group can be contacted.

Insights provide information about your Page's performance, like demographic data
about your audience and how people are responding to your posts.

Site traffic refers to the volume of visits your website receives. It is usually measured in
‘visits’ or ‘sessions’, and is a good indicator of your website’s popularity, credibility, and
the attractiveness of its content.

Page Views is the number of times someone visits any page on your site.

Unique pageviews combines the pageviews that are from the same person (a "user" in
