[edit] Project Description

• I will use laptop to teach elementary students especially those that are

located in remote areas here in the Philippines about computers . I will utilize it in demonstrations , presentation , multimedia content and also give the children hands-on activities using the system. I will also use this for software development . One is mind is getting courselab software to work with this system. I think that software will help the children a lot in their computer education.

[edit] Notes/Progress

• I would really like to see the day when I see that our country progress.

I think the only way that it can happen is through quality education. The state of education here in my country is not looking good . To remedy that I think children should have access to computers because I believe the internet has all the information you need the only question is how to harness that. By doing so , you will gain knowledge and knowledge is power , I believe that.
