3. His team carved a hole in the wall that separated NIIT campuses from slum areas. Why did they carve hole in the wall?
On 26th January, Dr. Mitra's team carved a "hole in the wall" that separated the NIIT premises from the adjoining slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi. Through this hole, a freely accessible computer was put up for use. This computer proved to be an instant hit among the slum dwellers, especially the children. With no prior experience, the children learnt to use the computer on their own.

Wikang Filipino : Mahalin Ang Sariling Atin

     "Wikang Filipino, Wika ng Saliksik". Ito ang tema para sa taunang pagdiriwang ng buwan ng wika. Ito ang panahon na kung saan ipinagdiriwang natin ang simbolo ating pagkapilipino, ang wikang Filipino.      Ano ang ginagamit mo pag nag-sasaliksik ka ng iyong mga takdang-aralin, proyekto at iba pang mga kailangan sa paaralan o di kaya'y sa trabaho? Marami nang mga kabataan ang nahuhumaling sa paggamit ng mga "gadget" gaya ng cellphone, laptop, computer at iba pa. Dahil dito marami na ang dumidepende sa mga ito at nakakalimutan na ang gumamit ng mga libro sa mga pananaliksik. Dahil din dito nakakalimutan na natin ang paggamit ng wikang Filipino dahil wikang ingles ang ginagamit na wika ng mga gadgets.      Kasalukuyang ipinagdiriwang ngayon sa aming paaralan, ang Ilocos Sur National High School, ang Buwan ng Wika 2018. Marami silang mga inihandang patimpalak at mga aktibidades. Ito ay ang paggawa ng poster, pagsusulat ng sanaysay, OPM si...

Knowledge will Continue to Grow

                      The first quarter of ICT10 taught me many lessons. We learned about the history of the internet, what is a blog, different search engines for blogs, and also making my own blogger account. I've learned that the internet has evoled a lot since 1957. As of now, the internet is used for communication, research, and even for business. There are also many people who contributed to the development of the internet like Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn. The internet was brought to the Philippines by William Torres.
