<blockquote>Organic community edutech growth is not a mere
slogan in the Philippines, thanks to Ryan Letada (Exec
Director of eKindling) bringing an exciting update for us this
Sunday, explaining the exceptional progress this community

Not to give away Ryan's entire talk (and "Filipino Factoids"
you will be asked to answer if you want to win a <font
color="#ff0000">Red XO</font>!) but going forward, eKindling
is in fact looking at integrating mapping into its actual core
curriculum, expanding upon the innovation in Uganda's <a
