Introduction

  • Name: Computer Outreach Program using XO
  • Location: Tagaytay, Philippines
  • Number of Laptops Requested:4

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.
