<TR>
<TD vAlign=top>Hi James,<BR><BR>Thank you for raising the issue. Yes,
the back-up is required to maintain a record of the kid's work as he
progresses on doing the course supplement as well as really having a
back-up record on the current activity in case the USB being used is not
available for any reason (lost, stolen or corrupted). <BR><BR>However,
please bear in mind we are discussing this on the hypothetical basis.
Until we can actually run a pilot which will simulate the same classroom
conditions of doing this, we will never know for sure how realiable this
will be or if it will work at all. Hence, the need for the
pilot.<BR><BR>I will keep you in loop when we are about to run the first
pilot to avail of your cooking ops, I mean your software developer
skills.<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>Charles<BR><BR>

Thanks Ryan for sharing this... this a great kick-off, for us
to<BR>know who we<BR> are and what
we want and what we'll be doing.<BR><BR>
For my option, I like option 3 and maybe a little tweak
on the<BR>proposed<BR>
vision.<BR><BR> Also, I have a
question on our focus, what would our org be like<BR>OLE
nepal<BR> or waveplace? I
believe we'll not just be focusing on just<BR>laptops as our<BR>
main tool...it can be the DS light (eg.
Jerome's idea :) ...iphone<BR>or<BR>
cellphone....?:) as long as it will deliver or enhance
educational<BR>awareness<BR> and
technological advancement of the Filipino kids.<BR><BR>
I hope to see other drafts too, as for me I don't
have one..:)<BR>so, I just<BR>
shared my option on Ryan's drafft..:) it would be nice for
the<BR>group too,<BR> to share their
option from the drafts if you don't have one...so<BR>in the<BR>
meeting we can minimize the options and
would be easier to choose.<BR><BR>
Thanks and let's keep all our thoughts/ideas coming.<BR><BR>
Cheers,<BR>

andVision Statement Drafts/Proposals;List of mission
statements<BR>from other<BR>
Org.<BR><BR><BR> Thanks Ryan
for sharing this... this a great kick-off, for us to<BR>know
who<BR> we are and what we want and
what we'll be doing.<BR><BR>
For my option, I like option 3 and maybe a little tweak on
the<BR>proposed<BR>
vision.<BR><BR> Also, I have
a question on our focus, what would our org be<BR>like
OLE<BR> nepal or waveplace? I
believe we'll not just be focusing on just<BR>laptops as<BR>
our main tool...it can be the DS light
(eg. Jerome's idea :)<BR>...iphone or<BR>
cellphone....?:) as long as it will deliver or enhance
educational<BR>awareness<BR> and
technological advancement of the Filipino kids.<BR><BR>
I hope to see other drafts too, as for me
I don't have one..:)<BR>so, I just<BR>
shared my option on Ryan's drafft..:) it would be nice for
the<BR>group too,<BR> to share their
option from the drafts if you don't have one...so<BR>in the<BR>
meeting we can minimize the options and
would be easier to choose.<BR><BR>
Thanks and let's keep all our thoughts/ideas
coming.<BR><BR>
Cheers,<BR>

Hey guys,<BR><BR>
here is a list of proposed
draft mission and vision statements<BR>to get<BR>
the creative juices flowing. This is just a starting
point. We may<BR> eventually have
something completely different as we begin to<BR>drill into
our<BR> values and goals. However,
these proposals were inspired by<BR>conversations<BR>
with other members. Keeping in mind the
educational challenges of<BR>the<BR>
Philippines, this is also an attempt to combine different
mission<BR>statements<BR> from other
organizations listed below. I can explain my thought<BR>process
if<BR> you guys want. Sige?
ingat, I look forward to your feedback, and<BR>please<BR>
feel free to draft one of your
own!<BR><BR><BR>

their communities.<BR><BR>

For your viewing pleasure ? here is
a list of mission<BR>statements from<BR>
other organizations.<BR><BR>
Open Learning Exchange Nepal<BR><BR>
Open Learning Exchange (OLE) Nepal is a
Nepali<BR>non-governmental<BR>
organization dedicated to assisting the Government of Nepal
in<BR>meeting its<BR> Education for
All goals by developing freely accessible,<BR>open-source<BR>
Information and Communication Technology
(ICT)-based educational<BR>
teaching-learning materials.<BR><BR>
Waveplace<BR><BR>
Our mission is much more than free laptops. Though
laptops get<BR>all the<BR>
attention, they're really just a vehicle for something much<BR>cooler.
As Alan<BR> Kay said, "you can
donate pianos, but they work much better with<BR>piano<BR>
lessons." We recognize this, which is why
most of our emphasis is<BR>on course<BR>
materials and teacher training. Our larger goal is
encouraging<BR>kids and<BR> adults
to use the laptops to their full potential, which can
have<BR>profound<BR> educational
benefits.<BR><BR> One
Laptop Per Child (Main)<BR><BR>
To create educational opportunities for the world's
poorest<BR>children by<BR> providing
each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power,
connected<BR>laptop<BR> with content
and software designed for collaborative,
joyful,<BR>self-empowered<BR>
learning. When children have access to this type of tool they
get<BR>engaged in<BR> their own
education. They learn, share, create, and collaborate.<BR>They
become<BR> connected to each other,
to the world and to a brighter future.<BR><BR>
The mission of One Laptop per Child (OLPC)
is to empower the<BR>children of<BR>
developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop
to<BR>every<BR> school-age
child.<BR><BR> One
Laptop Per Child Australia<BR><BR>
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) Australia's mission is to
improve<BR>the lives<BR> of children
living in rural and remote Australia - the great<BR>majority
of<BR> which are in indigenous
communities - by providing them with the<BR>
purpose-built educational tool, the XO laptop. When
children have<BR>access to<BR> this
type of tool they become engaged in their own education;
they<BR>learn,<BR> share, create,
and collaborate. They become connected to each<BR>other, to
the<BR> world and to a brighter
future<BR><BR> World
Wide Workshop Foundation<BR><BR>
The World Wide Workshop is a global foundation for
developing<BR> open-source
applications of social media technology and game<BR>production,
to<BR> enhance learning, innovation,
entrepreneurship, and an<BR>understanding of the<BR>
world in economically-disadvantaged
and<BR>technologically-underserved<BR>
communities.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
