Basic Protocol for the Discussion
Choose a conference group where you think you will feel comfortable sharing. Ask the moderator if you can join the conference. Introduce yourself and mention your section. After that, you can participate in the discussion.

MOFTECH students can use English, Filipino or broken English or broken Filipino in the discussion. As much as possible, stick to the subject talked about. Everyone is encouraged to share ideas, opinions, experiences and knowledge. Pls inform the moderator if you are leaving the conference room or signing out already.

The moderators are tasked to encourage the interest and sharing of facts and opinions in the discussion without being rude or impolite to others. Moderators can also call the attention of a student if there's any misbehavior (cursing, encouraging other students to destroy the topic, use of excessive large fonts etc.)
