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.
