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.

4. What was the significant finding of the experiment?
The findings from Shivpuri and Madantusi confirmed the results of Kalkaji experiments. It appeared that the children in these two places picked up computer skills on their own. Dr. Mitra defined this as a new way of learning - Minimally Invasive Education.

5. What could be the implications of this finding to existing teaching practices especially those that are related with the use of ICT in learning?
The results, which have been uniformly encouraging, show that children learn to operate as well as play with the computer with minimum intervention. They picked up skills and tasks by constructing their own learning environment.

Buhay na Bayani

Tema: Gurong Flipino, turo mo kinabukasan ko.      Ang ating mga guro o titser ay mga katulong natin sa ating kumunidad sa paghubog sa ating mga anak. Sila ang pangalawang mga magulang ng mga bata sa paaralan. Tumutulong sila upang mapausbong nila ang mga kaalaman ng mga bata hindi lamang sa teknikal na kaalaman kundi sa paghubog sa kanila ng kagandahang asal na hanggang sa kanilang pagtanda ay kanilang taglay.Hindi lamang mga lumaban at namatay ang maituturing nating bayani dahil ang ating mga guro ay maituturing natin silang mga buhay na bayani dahil sa kanilang sakripisyo, tiyaga at higit sa lahat walang sawang pang-unawa sa kanilang mga estyudante. Sa araw araw na hirap sa pagtuturo, pagod sa pagtayo, at masakit na lalamunan sa pagtuturo ay hindi nila alintana upang maturuan at mabigyan lamang ng sapat na kaalaman ang mga bata para sa kanilang hinaharap at kinabukasan. Sila ang mga taong higit na nagmamalasakit sa ating mga anak. Sa malaking inspirasyong ibinib...

Season of Love

     Christmas.....the season of hope, peace, unity, joy, and love to all. The birth of our savior Jesus Christ who sacrifice his life to save all mankind. Indeed, it is the day of forgiving and forgetting bitterness of life instead let us spread love and positivity to all. It is the season to be reunited.      Every 25th of December, everyone is filled with joy and smiles. Families and friends showing their love to each other through gift giving and other ways. Streets and houses are decorated with so many sparkling lights, children caroling and Christmas trees are glowing. But somehow, I believe the true meaning or essence of Christmas is not the glowing lights nor the gifts we receive but the true love we share to everyone not only to our loved ones but to every people in the world.      Let us celebrate Christmas every single day of our lives. Spreading love to all mankind, sharing our blessings to everyone, and be reunited with...

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.
