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

believe we'll not just be focusing on<br>just<br> laptops as our<br> main tool...it can be the DS light (eg.

group too,<br> to share their option from the drafts if you don't have<br>one...so<br> in the<br> meeting we can minimize the options and would be easier<br>to choose.<br><br> Thanks and let's keep all our thoughts/ideas coming.<br><br> Cheers,<br> Mafe<br><br><br><br><br><br> On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 7:35 AM, Ryan Letada<br><<a ymailto="mailto:rletada@gmail.com" href="/mc/compose?to=rletada@gmail.com">rletada@gmail.com</a>><br> wrote:<br><br>

Subject: Re: [OLPC-Philippines] Get the Creative<br>Juices Flowing:<br> Mission<br> andVision Statement Drafts/Proposals;List of mission<br>statements<br> from other<br> Org.<br><br><br> Thanks Ryan for sharing this... this a great kick-off,<br>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<br>tweak on the<br> proposed<br>
vision.<br><br> Also, I have a question on our focus, what would our<br>org be<br> like OLE<br> nepal or waveplace? I believe we'll not just be<br>focusing on just<br> laptops as<br> our main tool...it can be the DS light (eg. Jerome's<br>idea :)<br> ...iphone or<br> cellphone....?:) as long as it will deliver or enhance<br>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<br>one..:)<br> so, I just<br> shared my option on Ryan's drafft..:) it would be nice<br>for the<br> group too,<br> to share their option from the drafts if you don't have<br>one...so<br> in the<br> meeting we can minimize the options and would be easier<br>to choose.<br><br> Thanks and let's keep all our thoughts/ideas coming.<br><br> Cheers,<br>

This is just a starting<br>point. We may<br> eventually have something completely different as we<br>begin to<br>
drill into our<br> values and goals. However, these proposals were inspired<br>by<br> conversations<br> with other members. Keeping in mind the educational<br>challenges of<br> the<br> Philippines, this is also an attempt to combine<br>different mission<br> statements<br> from other organizations listed below. I can explain my<br>thought<br> process if<br> you guys want. Sige? ingat, I look forward to your<br>feedback, and<br>
please<br> feel free to draft one of your own!<br><br><br> Proposed Mission Statement:<br><br> Draft Option 1<br><br> Our mission is to enhance educational opportunities<br>through<br> open source,<br> technological innovations for the empowerment of<br>Filipino youth.<br><br> Draft Option 2<br><br> Our mission is to enhance educational

who are digitally literate, critical thinkers, and<br>productive<br> members of<br> society through open source technology. In doing so,<br>learners<br> will be<br> better prepared to tackle the challenges of an<br>increasingly<br> competitive job<br> market and globalised world as well, as become an agent<br>of change<br> towards<br> the betterment of themselves and their communities.<br><br><br><br> For your viewing pleasure ? here is a
list of<br>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<br>Nepal in<br> meeting its<br> Education for All goals by developing freely accessible,<br> open-source<br> Information and Communication Technology
(ICT)-based<br>educational<br> teaching-learning materials.<br><br> Waveplace<br><br> Our mission is much more than free laptops. Though<br>laptops get<br> all the<br> attention, they're really just a vehicle for something<br>much<br> cooler. As Alan<br> Kay said, "you can donate pianos, but they work much<br>better with<br> piano<br> lessons." We recognize this, which is why most of our<br>emphasis is<br>
on course<br> materials and teacher training. Our larger goal is<br>encouraging<br> kids and<br> adults to use the laptops to their full potential, which<br>can have<br> profound<br> educational benefits.<br><br> One Laptop Per Child (Main)<br><br> To create educational opportunities for the world's<br>poorest<br> children by<br> providing each child with a rugged, low-cost,
low-power,<br>connected<br> laptop<br> with content and software designed for collaborative,<br>joyful,<br> self-empowered<br> learning. When children have access to this type of tool<br>they get<br> engaged in<br> their own education. They learn, share, create, and<br>collaborate.<br> They become<br> connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter<br>future.<br><br> The mission of One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is to<br>empower the<br>
children of<br> developing countries to learn by providing one connected<br>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<br>to improve<br> the lives<br> of children living in rural and remote Australia - the<br>great<br> majority of<br> which are in indigenous communities - by providing them<br>with the<br>
purpose-built educational tool, the XO laptop. When<br>children have<br> access to<br> this type of tool they become engaged in their own<br>education; they<br> learn,<br> share, create, and collaborate. They become connected to<br>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<br>developing<br>
open-source applications of social media technology and<br>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> _______________________________________________<br> OLPC-Philippines mailing list<br>
