<p>“As a guy that has written numerous grants for schools I can
honestly say this would never get funding because of all the question marks.
We the people who want this to happen for the Filipinas must answer the
questions.” <span> </span><span> </span>- Rick Hendricks</p>
<br><p>Hello Everyone,</p><p>We are truly excited to see the renewed momentum in the
group. Be assured that there are many of us who believe that Filipino youth
deserve the transformative benefits that the XO laptop has to offer.</p>
<p>Recently, a <b>core team </b>has been assembled to raise important
questions and to answer them. Thus far, the team consists of marketing,
finance, technology, and deployment specialist.<span>
</span>We are still in the process of identifying key members, and are actively
seeking an educator who is well-versed on constructionism – an educational
framework that serves as the foundation for XO learning activities. </p>
<p>[Check: <span> </span><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Constructivism" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Constructivism</a>]</p>
<p>The core team is dedicated to learning best practices from
other organizations across the globe (<a href="http://www.waveplace.com/" target="_blank">www.waveplace.com</a>,
and <a href="http://www.olenepal.org/" target="_blank">www.olenepal.org</a>), who uses XO
laptops and other technological innovations to enhance educational
opportunities. Our learning will hopefully position us to successfully deploy pilot
program throughout the Philippines, keeping in mind a long term vision of leapfrogging
youths into 21<sup>st</sup> century learning and creating an educational
standard where Information and Communication Technology is part of the norm.</p>
<p>For sustainability and scalability reasons, the core team
feels that incorporation is a necessary step to garner the funds needed to
finance operational expenses and laptop purchases.<span> </span>A pilot program will necessitate full-time
employees, who will provide continuous training and support for participating
teachers and students.<span> </span>Our current
volunteer model alone will not be able to provide the constant monitoring and
support that a pilot program needs. </p>
<p>In essence, the incorporation process will address most of
the question marks that Rick and the others have raised. </p>
<p>As we work towards incorporation, we will simultaneously
work on starting a pilot program. We are looking for schools with progressive
teachers and administrators as well partner organizations who are aligned with
our vision [more in the following email]. So if you are interested in
partnering with us, please contact us at <a href="mailto:CoreOLPC.PH@gmail.com">CoreOLPC.PH@gmail.com</a>. <br></p>
<p>Most importantly, <font size="4"><b>WE
NEED YOU</b></font>. Our core team cannot do it alone.<span>
</span>Feedback and suggestions such as the ones from Rick, Janet and Mafe are needed.
We also need direct involvement in regards to marketing, finance, development/fundraising,
curriculum development, etc. <span> </span>So if you
are interested in providing a helping hand, please join on our team:</p>
<p>Thank you and if you have any questions, suggestions or
inquiries, please feel free to contact us through this list serve or email: <a href="mailto:CoreOLPC.PH@gmail.com">CoreOLPC.PH@gmail.com</a> </p>
<p>We look forward to working with you, </p>

<div class="gmail_quote"><br>Hi Everyone,<br><br>As a follow through on this thread. As per my understanding I see that deployment and support issue is not at all a problem even both from on the XO activities and technical. As I see it in this thread we do have a lot of enthusiast, which is great. <br>
<br>The question being now is how do we get a funding and where do we start. Few months ago...I've read some emails regarding that. What's the latest on that? So, I think that's one of our major concern. Since Janet's company express their concern on donating how do they do that...do we have something ready to accept donations? And how can we tap our gov't...."lobbyst" as we say to finally reach them and be interested on this and the rest. Who is willing to do the website ....so we can start the campaign marketing for donation ...etc... <br>
<br>And from there we can identify who and where to do the initial or pilot deployment.<br><br>Charles, you might want to include this from your agenda. So, we can finally form the team to spearhead this. I'll also invite others who are interested to join the group.<br>
<br>Thanks and any thoughts on this?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Mafe<div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 4:45 PM, Charles Chen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ideasman88@yahoo.com.au" target="_blank">ideasman88@yahoo.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello everybody,<br><br>Allow me to share my thoughts on the comments of Janet, Rick and Mafe. I appreciate your interest to help OLPC Philippines and hope each one of you can help take this group forward.<br><br>1. OLPC Background. Just for the information of Janet, Rick and Mafe. I assume you are aware that OLPC was started by Nicholas Negroponte from MIT and funded by donations by parties like Google to develop the XO laptop. Despite all the new laptops that have been introduced by commercial manufacturers only the XO was designed primarily for the child. A lot of work has been spent to make it sturdy, kid-friendly and open to use non-proprietary software which is free. <br>
<br>Unfortunately, even with the technical innovation done in developing the XO, Negroponte is not a businessman and had not been able to effectively capitalise and promote the benefits
of using the XO. At the same time, he had wanted only to deal with the national governments of countries in developing an OLPC educational program. It was only recently with the entry of competitors like Microsoft and Intel developing similar laptops has the attitude of Nicholas has been more open to working with non-goverment groups like us to roll out the program. <br>
<br>The other constraint in deploying OLPC in other countries outside the US is that its implementation is not formally organised or even financially supported. We are unable to benefit of any financial and admin support OLPC Boston has to assist us in our efforts. This is still essential as it costs money to do a pilot much more an actual full deployment for an entire country even if every one of us volunteers our time and effort. <br>
<br>2. OLPC Pilot. I first proposed doing an OLPC Pilot more than a year ago with Don Bosco Technical Institute in Mandaluyong. However, until recently
the pilot was put on hold due to the lack of an appropriate deployment model. Although most of our volunteer members have an IT background (I am not one of them being an ex-banker), there was a problem forming a consensus on what this model will be. Due to the many types of laptops and software currently available as well as a different preferences from a number of our members a consensus was never reached.<br>
<br>Recently after attending an event organised by OLPC Australia (I am based in Sydney, Australia) I now was able to identify a deployment model based on the feedback of OLPC members here. And it is using OLPC's XO with Sugar as the software application. The model will use already available content free in the internet to use the XO laptop as an educational supplement to teach a particular subject. With this information, I am now organising a pilot in a public
school in Antipolo with a donation from a generous local donor.<br><br>The cost of doing the pilot is another hurdle our group has to address in order to make this happen. You see, the group does not have a legal entity in the form of a non-stock, non-stock foundation to be able to legally solicit donations from interested individuals and companies. To be able to register the foundation, the SEC requires a minimum paid-up of 1.0 Million pesos. But more than the money, I was unable to solicit enough volunteer members to help me do the organising for this purpose. I have decided again on my own by registering the OLPC foundation getting people outside the group to assist me for this purpose.<br>
<br>2. Opportunities to start your own OLPC Pilot. Reading from the comments of Janet, Rick and Mafe, I get the understanding that all three of you want to start your own pilots in your respective groups. I will be willing to help you start you own pilot
subject to the following conditions: <br><br>a. Pilot School. You will have to identify a proposed public school to be the beneficiary of your pilot. It has to be a public school so that we can benefit of having a formal educational setting in using the OLPC XO. This means we can leverage our resources with that of the school. The other reason also why it has to be a school since it will have to manage continuing the program once set-up and running.<br>
<br>b. Pilot Sponsor. To implement the pilot will require funding to cover all the costs involved for this purpose. Like the cost of setting up a wireless broadband connection in the classrooms to be used. Purchasing an XO for each student covered in the pilot. Teacher training to use the XO, the Sugar application and the proposed content. And if the Pilot is outside Metro Manila, transportation and accomodation expenses for the people tasked to set-up this up in the proposed area. Bear in mind, we still
save a lot with volunteers doing the actual work and not license fees to be paid in using free non-proprietary software for the pilot. Just for the information of everybody, I can arrange purchasing an XO laptop through OPLC Australia for about US$259 each. It is ideal to purchase sufficient number of laptops to provide each student (and teacher) in the entire grade level for the pilot. <br>
<br>c. Educational focus. Please identify what educational focus you would want to have in your pilot. My Antipolo pilot will focus on teaching English. Rick let me check whether I can find a suitable content we can use for teaching biology.<br>
<br>d. Project Management. Being a Project Manager myself, I consider this the most essential need to implement the pilot. You will need to nominate a particular person that will be available on the ground to check, review and monitor the implementation of the pilot and more importantly helping check on the progress of the
school to continue the pilot once successful.<br><br>3. OLPC Get-together. I will be in Manila from 22 June to 6 July and will be organising another OLPC Get together in order for all of us to meet each other in person. It will be most likely be on a Sunday afternoon (either 27 June or 4 July) and will be in the Makati area (most likely at the Asian Institute of Management). I will appreciate if there will be more than the 4 people (that included me and a friend I invited as a guest) who were present when I did this last year.<br>
<br>In closing in behalf of OLPC Foundation (to be registered shortly), let me welcome Janet, Marife and Rick to the OLPC Family.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Charles Chen<br><br><br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 12/5/09, <a href="mailto:olpc-philippines-request@lists.laptop.org" target="_blank">olpc-philippines-request@lists.laptop.org</a> <i><<a href="mailto:olpc-philippines-request@lists.laptop.org" target="_blank">olpc-philippines-request@lists.laptop.org</a>></i></b> wrote:<br>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br><br>Just to continue this thread which is peeking my interest. I'd like to address the techiees and the XO's in the States.<br> <br>My purpose as a teacher attempting to help there is to find a way to deliver both text and video based lessons to the schools there. I am especially intrigued by Adobe flash's .swf for the ability to make things interactive, high quality, scalable graphics with relatively small memory footprint. I can make a thousand of these on a DVD and send them free of copyright and have them used perpetually for the
subjects. I like these because I can take requests from the instructors there about what they would like and I could suggest sequence and lessons for teachers who need it. <br> <br>I can find hundreds of teachers who will help me to outline what is done here, how , why and in what sequence. The pictures is worth more than a thousand words because of the language barriers. I certain the XO can show the pictures and that a gig is enough memory to hold quite a long presentation. Most teachers will like to make PowerPoint shows and I don't know if we can show these but I can translate the shows into flash without too much effort if its' needed. <br>
<br>If Mafe is going to Boston, let me be bold and suggest that the marketing of this program has been pretty bad so far. The success has come from the installments but I have not seen a lot of good marketing on this one. Techiees should know that they don't necessarily
come out well on video when explaining things. It would be really good to get an enthusiastic teacher to demonstrate what the XO can do and even better to show what it is doing. That's why nearly any pilot would be great. Even after reading and trying to see how to do this, its not evident to me what I could do other than to donate money. <br>
<br>In my case, for example: I would like to see the program in Liloan, So leyte. So what can I do? I have spoken with the schools there, they are all for it. How can I buy them the XO? I know how to donate in general but I don't know how to make it happen there - even if I front all the money. If I could buy them here - do I send them Balikbayan? How much is that? Is there an install team in Manila that I could send there on Cebu pacific? Do I have to make another trip there to set up broadband? How much will that cost? I have a
lot of unanswereds and I am trying to find the answers. <br> <br>As a guy that has written numerous grants for schools I can honestly say this would never get funding because of all the question marks. We the people who want this to happen for the Filipinas must answer the questions. <br>
<br>I am thinking that in August I will bring the high definition video Cameras there and produce a video to detail the need, the techniques used to fill that need, the costs and mechanism such as the ones questioned above. I would take videos and pictures and use them to redesign the website so that benefactors looking to make real changes could have confidence that the installations will produce real results. <br>

I agree on starting and keep this going and do a small deployment. We can start piloting this to a small number of kids then eventually if it gain the attention of some then we can dream for a bigger deployment.<br>
<br>The guys that I'm talking about are very much willing to work on exploring the XO activities, getting some of the educators create lesson plans that would make the activities easy for the kids and teachers to learn in the long run if we'll have major deployments in school. In which
addressing the 80% that Jerome is mentioning.<br><br>And from there we can we easily get feedback on how the kids find some of the activities in the XO and we can also solicit activity suggestion that could probably be a good project for our technical group here that can be implemented locally and suited for the needs and later on share globally.<br>
<br>I'll continue working in close contact with this group who are interested in coming up with lesson plan and curriculum for this program. Also, if we can unleashed to both kids and teachers the many (OER) open educational resources available that would be great.<br>
<br>BTW: They're currently working 100 kids in their project site that they've been teaching them weekly. So, if there's anybody who would want to do the pilot on these group, please do let me know.<br><br>I'm inviting him also to join the mailing list, so he can introduce and talk more about what they're doing with these kids and
where it is located.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Mafe<br><br><br><br><br><br>On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 10:25 AM, Jerome Gotangco <<a href="http://mc/compose?to=jgotangco@gmail.com" target="_blank">jgotangco@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

><br> > If we don't have a working unit to give them, I need to know why not. I'll buy one for this purpose. In fact I'd buy more if I knew what they would be used for.<br> <br> <br> The first thing is that we're a loose group of enthusiasts at the<br>
start, and perhaps the most vocal (at least on this list) are the<br> technically-inclined people, hence there are a lot of discussion on<br> the technical merits rather
than the more salient points that needs to<br> be discussed. This is not the fault of the list per se, it just<br> evolved as it is. Lately, we've been getting a good number of emails<br> asking about OLPC as an organization, how it works, how is it<br>
happening locally, which we always say that its currently an interest<br> group and I don't see anything wrong with that.<br> <br> But I think that's one reason why a local pilot isn't happening<br>
locally is that we haven't gone beyond that "interest group" mindset.<br> Perhaps not everyone though, but the list in general. This is perhaps<br> a valid reason why having local access to an XO-1 unit is like digging<br>
for gold in the desert.<br> <br> A few weeks ago me and
Ryan met up at the mall to discuss stuff<br> regarding this and one of the things he said to me was that he's just<br> sad to see his XO-1 unit not doing anything. This is true, because the<br> laptop is pretty much useless by itself and is only useful in a<br>
classroom. On my part, I only had access to an XO-1 production unit<br> last year c/o Rowen and most of the stuff I did was either a) show it<br> to someone how sturdy it is by dropping it intentionally and b)<br>
experimenting with alternative operating system setups that benefit<br> primarily the hacker community.<br> <br> So I guess that shows where I am coming from with regards to the whole<br> project in general. I know very well enough of the technology of the<br>
platform but I
can guarantee I can say less than 20% of the<br> educational aspect in terms of methodology and practice. And I'm more<br> than happy to have people who can fill up that 80% of knowledge to<br> help out.<br>
<br><br> > As a teacher I am quite anxious to develop animations, video and benchmark lessons to supplement the 40 year old textbooks I saw in the classes in the provinces. The schools in Manila have a bit more resources but most are pitiful. We Throw Out 8 truck loads of book a year. All of which are far more modern than the ones I saw there. After trying to figure out for some time now how to ship those to Philippines, I realize the Holy Grail would be digital. I can send this stuff for virtually nothing and provide them with copyright free material in the venue of choice. That is my interest in this
project.<br> <br> <br> > Lets' start by asking Janet where she would like to see the project work. Lets get her and her boss a laptop - at my expense if necessary. Lets get that school a class set and see what we can do to meet their needs. Don't make the mistake of telling them what it can do, Ask them what they need it to do. I know what I need it to do, but I won't speak for the school. Lets ask the developers to make the software needed to display video, flash animations, textbooks or other materials. Network them to internet so they can use it to see the rest of the world or allow teachers like me to send to them what they request.<br>
<br> <br> This is actually what I wanted to ask specifically to Janet but you<br> beat me to it :-)<br>
<br><br> > Even the provinces have microwave based broad band receivers. In Manila I can get moderate speed out of a P999 Smart bro transmitter and I would not hesititate to ask SmartBro for a school based connect at discount or free. I have a soft spot for Liloan in Southern Leyte because of my relatives there. I have spoken with the principals there about what they have now and I would be willing to build a working pilot there. I would evaluate the program based on teacher and students feedback. Again my purpose was to replace 40year biology text that students were copying onto paper so that they didn't damage them. They had no idea what the book said but the students were copying them because the teacher told them to. As a teacher I can tell you that this means the teacher doesn't know what the book says either. I found this at virtually all levels including junior
college. We need to change all that.<br> <br> <br> Unfortunately, rote learning seems to be path when the system is<br> degrading. I must admit, I am not an educator by profession (I am<br> primarily a software developer) and my interest lies between cutting<br>
edge technology and pragmatic technology for teaching and where both<br> could play (if possible) in a local setting.<br> <br><br> > Where the pilot is located is not so relevant as to get one going. I know this is contrary to developer thought patterns because you like to see planning and structure - no single point of failure,etc. When you work with children and schools, things will go wrong. You can't plan for all of them and you shouldn't try. The power is in now. Lets trust a good reliable
principal in a needy district to provide us with the feedback we need to continue and lets document what has been done and how so that we can answer more requests like the one from Janet.<br> <br> <br> I agree on these points fully.<br>
<br><br> > My question Immediately for Janet is : do you have a school in mind already? My questions for Jerome are: 1) how much for a class set of 20? and 2) How long will it take to get Janet's organization one to evaluate? (assume I will pay for it)<br>
<br> <br> Currently OLPC has no program for small deployments like these if we<br> look at <a href="http://laptop.org/en/participate/ways-to-give.shtml" target="_blank">http://laptop.org/en/participate/ways-to-give.shtml</a> but I'm<br>
sure we can find a way
to get those laptops from other sources. This<br> list has enough people upstream that can give info. But a small pilot<br> like 20 would be ideal for a purely volunteer-driven effort.<br> <br><br> > I know that not everyone in the organization can get to the Philippines often. But some are there and I get there every 3 months or so. Lets get going on this. In prior discussions, I think we are too concerned about legally structuring the group. I think this is cart before horse. Lets get the pilot and evaluate the program. I have a lawyer there to handle any legal issues but its a donation to a school so I don't see much.<br>
<br> <br> Yeah I agree. I've told a lot off-list that I have very little<br> interest in formalizing a group at the start if there is
nothing to<br> present at all. But I guess having a formal group has its benefits but<br> I'll leave that to the legal people to check.<br> <br> Jerome<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br>
