SPJ 8 students attend AI Literacy, Wikipedia Editing Workshop

Special Program in Journalism Grade 8 students from Noli De Castro and Mel Tiangco attended the On-Campus Artificial Intelligence (AI) Literacy and Cebuano Wikipedia Editing Workshop on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 at Abellana National School (ANS) Library.

Held from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the workshop was led by Vanj Padilla and focused on AI literacy and Cebuano Wikipedia editing.

Padilla said the workshop aimed to help ANS students, especially student journalists, learn how to contribute knowledge to Wikipedia and use AI responsibly.

“The main purpose is for ANS students, especially the journalists, to be able to learn about various ways on how to continue knowledge by contributing to the online repository of human knowledge, which is Wikipedia,” said Padilla.

She explained that editing Wikipedia can help preserve local languages, traditions, and other knowledge that may not be recorded online for future generations.

“Because of this workshop, I have learned a lot, especially about editing and AI,” said Chelsea Ann M. Talledo, a Grade 8 student from Noli De Castro, who also learned how to upload media to Wikipedia and translate English articles into Cebuano.

The workshop helped students learn more about AI and Wikipedia while encouraging them to share reliable Cebuano information online.
