tambayayong

Every eLibrary Project is a partnership between a school and the eLibrary project champions. The hardware and technologies that make up the Tambayayong eLibrary System (TeLS) or the Library in a Box supports the partnership formed around the idea of technology-assisted holistic education. Every partner school has to take ownership of the project by incorporating its materials in their lesson plans and instructional activities. Students need to reflect certain materials from the eLibrary in their learning portfolios, book reports, curricular and non-curricular activities. School administrators also have to provide supporting infrastracture and to encourage greater utilization of the eLibrary service.

HOW IT WORKS

The "product" is a stand-alone, browser-accessible repository of digital resouces: the eLibrary. Students and teachers will use a wifi access point("Tambayayong eLibrary"), open the browser and point it to "library.ph" (or 172.24.1.1) to access the repository. No internet required.

PROJECT CHAMPIONS

Project champions may consider "socialising" through the Tambayayong eLib Facebook group. A community bulleting board is also being considered.

           

eLib CONTENTS

The initial content of the eLibrary in a Box are indicated here. They are primarily for K-12 instruction. Other use cases of eLib could mean different sets of contents, to be determined by the eLib's principals or technology providers.

The contents of Tambayayong eLibrary System (TeLS), on the other hand, are self-curated by teachers and administrators of the partner school. The initial contents may include open resource from Open Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, Many Books, Didactalia, or those sources with creative common license like Khan Academy and Ted.

Donated digital resources may also be included. The instructional need of the schools are scoped, before the contents are put together and the Tambayayong eLib gets deployed.
