3. His team carved a hole in the wall that separated NIIT campuses from slum areas. Why did they carve hole in the wall?
On 26 January 1999, Mitra's team carved a "hole in the wall" that separated the NIIT premises from the adjoining slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi. Through this hole, a freely accessible computer was put up for use. This computer proved to be popular among the slum children. With no prior experience, the children learned to use the computer on their own. This prompted Mitra to propose the following hypothesis: The acquisition of basic computing skills by any set of children can be achieved through incidental learning provided the learners are given access to a suitable computing facility, with entertaining and motivating content and some minimal (human) guidance.

5. What could be the implications of this finding to existing teaching practices especially those that are related with the use of ICT in learning?

The Nutrition Month

          The month of July is the so-called Nutrition Month. It is celebrated every year by the local government and by us, the students. The theme of the celebration changes every year. And this year’s theme is "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin!”           The Philippines has lots of lands that can be planted by vegetables. And almost all schools have vacant land where they can plant vegetables and fruits. Planting vegetables is taught to students to help them understand the value of it. In the school grounds, they can plant eggplant, chili, pumpkin, and much more. They can also plant in old plastic bottles. If the children already know how to plant and they already know the benefits that they can get from it, they will take this knowledge to their homes. And there, they will plant for their families.           These vegetables are full of nutrients that will strengthen our body. Eating vegetables gives strength to our body so that we can work right and study

A letter for the President

July 09, 2018 PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE Malacañang  Palace Compound, J.P. Laurel Street, San Miguel, Manila, 1005 Philippines Dear Mr. President:                A blessed day to you! It is not usual for me to write to the president of the country, to you. I am a student, currently in Grade10 in Ilocos Sur National High School. This letter of mine is my way to express my opinion and to call your attention regarding our situation in our school because of the K-12.                Usually our school has a lot of enrollees but this year, it came to the point that our school needs to implement shifting of classes for the grade 9 and 10 students. It is because  of the large number of students who are enrolled here from grade 7 to grade 12. And I think the curriculum that the students need to learn compromised. Because they need to teach all the subjects in a limited time. The grade 10 students' schedule is until 6:45 P.M. and it is unusual for us not to b e in our house on that ti
