I. INTRODUCTION
A. Text2Teach
Congratulations on receiving your Text2Teach package! You are now on your way to a more interactive and enriched teaching experience.
Text2Teach is a program that makes use of mobile technology so that schools can have access to rich multi media videos. It aims to improve the quality of teaching in grades 5 and 6 in public elementary schools by providing highly interactive, easy to use multi media packages designed to help make learning more exciting and meaningful among students.
With the partnership of Ayala Foundation, Nokia, Department of Education, Globe Telecom, and SEAMEO-INNOTECH, Text2Teach is expanding to reach more schools in the Philippines.
The Nokia mobile phone is equipped with an exclusive application called “Nokia
Education Delivery (NED)” that allows the teacher to select from 389
interactive, educational videos in Math, Science, and English. These videos were pre-loaded into the phones for the teachers to choose from. In the future, additional educational videos will be developed and can be downloaded and stored in the mobile phones using Globe’s 3G technology.
All you have to do is plug the phone into a TV and play the video lesson for the day. The 3 to 5-minute educational videos created for the project bring these subjects to life, illustrating key concepts, skills, and competencies that students
are expected to master. These video lesson plans also help make teachers’ lives
easier and are compliant with the Basic Education Curriculum.
In putting together a program that would empower the teacher and the student with relevant and high-quality educational resources in the least amount of time and cost, Text2Teach is a cost-effective approach to closing the ever-widening gap restricting social and economic progress in developing countries.

V. USING NOKIA EDUCATION DELIVERY (NED)
A. Nokia Education Delivery (NED)
The Nokia Education Delivery or NED application
uses mobile technology to deliver educational videos to remote, hard-to-reach areas.
The videos can be used for any educational
purpose, from school lessons to training sessions.
Using a mobile phone, teachers and trainers can access and download
videos from a constantly updated catalog over a mobile network.
The Nokia device with TV-out connector can be connected to a normal
TV or a video projector to play the videos to a class. For the Text2Teach package given to you, the mobile device is the Nokia N86 8MP.
The NED-based platform has replaced the original satellite based
delivery in the Text2Teach program. SMS is not used for lesson ordering but very useful for any technical or lessons-related support assistance.
The first batch of schools that started to use the NED-based platform
was in Tanzania in 2008. Deployment in the Philippines started in March 2009. There is a similar program in its start-up phase in Chile.

E. Transfer Video clips to Computer
You can use your device with a variety of compatible PC connectivity and data communications. With data transfer, you can transfer the video clips to the PC.
Note: To avoid corrupting data or possible virus infection, do not disconnect the USB data cable during data transfer.
Step 1 Using the USB cable, connect the mobile phone to a compatible computer.
When the device asks which mode to use, select Mass Storage. In this mode, you can see your device as a removable hard drive in your computer.
Step 2 When the mobile phone is already connected to the PC, the removable drive icon will appear in the system tray of the PC at the lower right corner of the desktop screen. (Figure E.2.2)

VII. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A. Configuring the GPRS Setting
Before proceeding to NED downloading, please configure the Globe GPRS setting of the mobile phone first.
Step 1 Text Go <space> handset model to 2951 Example:
Text Go Nokia N86 then send to 2951
Step 2 Wait for the configuration settings, which will be sent to your phone
within the next 24 hours. You may also call Globe’s customer service
hotline at 211 from your mobile phone to request for your MMS/GPRS settings free of charge.
Step 3 Open the configuration settings received and saved them as your default settings. Enter 1234 if you are prompted for a pin.
Step 4 Text TIME to 1111 for time-based charging of the Internet. This means that the downloading cost is charged according to the duration it takes to download a video, which is at PhP 5.00 per 15-minute Internet or video download time. Otherwise, downloading might be charged according to the data/video size (per kilobyte-based charging), which is much more expensive.
Step 5 Wait for the confirmation message, which will be sent to your phone within the next 24 hours.
Step 6 You may now proceed in the NED video downloading process.

C. Green Tips (Energy Saving Tips)
You can make a total difference in your power consumption while learning and enjoying using the Text2Teach Technology.
TV Power-Saving Tips
1. Turn off the TV and other connected devices when not in use.
It's easy to get into the habit of leaving the TV on as "background" when you're not really watching it. While TVs still consume power in standby mode, it's a tiny fraction of what they draw when they're actually on. Old habits die hard, but you'll be saving yourself some money if you remember this tip.
Be careful to power down other connected devices, too, like game consoles and DVD players--which are easy to leave on accidentally even after you turn the TV itself off. A good universal remote that can "power down" the whole system with a single button-press can easily pay for itself in energy savings after a year or so.
2. Turn off the Quick Start option
Some HDTVs and other AV gear have an option called Quick Start or something similar, which allows them to turn on more quickly when you press the power button. The flipside of this mode is that when engaged, it consumes more power (sometimes up to 50 times as much) during standby, which can really add up. Do your energy bill a favor and turn this mode off. That few extra seconds' wait for the TV to warm up is well worth it.
3. Turn down the LCD's backlight
Many LCDs give you the ability to control the intensity of the backlight in the TV. By turning down the backlight, you'll lower power consumption, but also make the TV less bright. While retail stores love to turn the backlights up all the way for their displays, we find that we get the best image quality when we turn down the backlight significantly.

4. Turn on the power saver mode
Your 29-inch Syntax TV comes with a power saver mode that's designed to cut down the power consumption. (Performance of this mode varies from model to model, with varying effects - from drastic to only a slight savings.) The only downside is that the power saver mode usually makes the TV less bright, but sometimes this has a beneficial effect on the image quality, especially with the room lights turned off, in which case it's a win-win situation.
5. Reduce light output with other settings
Most TVs are very bright by default, which uses a lot of energy. You can turn down the light output--which is traditionally controlled primarily by "contrast" or "picture" controls--along with several other adjustments that will maximize the performance of your TV.
6. Control room lighting
Many of these tips make the TV less bright, but that can be compensated by controlling the light in your room. While this may be a little overboard just for power consumption, limiting the room lighting also goes a long way toward creating the "theater" experience, as well as getting the most out of your TV.
Mobile Phone Energy Saving Tips: Turn your cell phone green
1. Unplug Your Phone Charger When Unused
Did you know your phone’s charger still draws energy even when it’s not plugged into your phone? Unplug it when it’s not in use.
2. Minimize Your Phone’s Backlight
If your phone’s backlight is illuminated for longer than you need, you’re wasting energy. Reduce it so you’re only using what’s necessary. Your phone’s battery will thank you.
3. Charge Your Phone When Necessary
Many people are accustomed to charging their cell phones every night
whether or not the battery has been depleted. To be less wasteful, don’t
charge your phone until the battery really needs it.
