The Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART), through its Smart Schools Program (SSP) will conduct the Second "Ano ang Kwento Mo" Contest, one of the three major competitions under the Doon Po Sa Amin (DPSA) Project, where teacher-student teams perform basic community mapping exercises to create video blogs to feature a distinct characteristic, place, or culture in their respective communities. The contest aims to:

1. engage teachers and students nationwide to generate local content using community mapping techniques and information and communication technology (ICT);
2. promote ICT integration in basic education through curriculum-based topic categories, and to encourage teachers and students to use local content in curriculum applications;
3. develop students' skills in research, writing, leadership, teamwork, and technology; and
4. encourage schools to build relationships with other Smart Schools partners and groups within their local communities, to raise the students' community awareness.
   

The contest is open to all bona fide teachers and students from both public and private secondary schools nationwide.
