The program is the local version of the global BridgeIT educational program. It is spearheaded in the Philippines by Nokia in partnership with Ayala Foundation, Inc., Globe Telecom, the Department of Education, SEAMEO INNOTECH, and Pearson Foundation.

Nearly in completion of its third phase,Text2Teach has helped improve the academic performance, classroom behavior and participation of students in the recipient schools. The parents, school officials and community leaders have also shown positive attitudes toward using mobile technology in teaching. This was based on a consultant monitoring conducted from August to December 2011.

Text2Teach Phase 3 has reached 157 schools in 2011 alone, and an additional 15 schools in 2012, makinga cumulative total of 557 schools covered. It has also trained more than 1,600 teachers on the use of the NEDtechnology in the classroom.

Among the cities and municipalities reached were:Vigan and Candon Cities in Ilocos Sur; Santiago City and the Municipality of Ilagan in Isabela; Tuguegarao City in Cagayan; the Municipality of La Trinidad in Benguet; Dagupan and Urdaneta Cities, and the Municipalities of Villasis, Asingan, and Sta.

The year 2011 also marked several milestones for Text2Teach, gaining international exposure through knowledge-sharing sessions with organizations such as EZ Vidya in India, UNICEF, the British Council and UNESCO. Chile’s BridgeIT Program Manager also came to visit for some learning sessions and to visit Text2Teach schools. The project has also been invited by UNESCO to participate in the 2012 Webinar organized by the International Institute for Educational Planning, Regional Headquarters Buenos Aires (IIEP-UNESCO) and FLACSO Argentina, to share about BridgeIT/Text2Teach, and dialogue with different initiatives around the world on the integration of ICT in Education.

Meanwhile,Text2Teach Phase 4was launched on June 28, 2011 with an objective to develop new curriculum-based content, reach far-flung areas, enhance teacher training, and upgrade existing programs. “The fourth phase of Text2Teachhopes to bring the project to a level where it can be mainstreamed into the regular programs of the Philippine Department of Education,” addedMario Deriquito, Senior Director of Ayala Foundation’s Education and Leadership Division.

Since 2003, the number of student and teacher beneficiaries has multiplied over the years of implementing Text2Teach. The completion of Text2Teach Phase 4 will have reached and covered Regions II, III, IV-A, IV-B and CAR in Luzon, regions VI and VIII in Visayas and regions IX and XII in Mindanao.

You now have the chance as Nokia, the global leader in mobile communications, launches Regional Ringtones, Designed by You, a regional crowd sourcing competition for people to create ringtones that are relevant to their specific regions.

Nokia believes in the importance of a thriving local music culture while providing locally relevant content to its customers around the world. Nokia prides itself on maintaining this principle and drive over the years, and now Nokia is empowering everyone to have a shot at creating these ringtones for themselves, and giving participants a unique opportunity to have their work featured on millions of Nokia handsets.

“Nokia has been providing locally relevant content for nearly a decade now, so offering ringtones based on music styles and instruments that are specific to a certain region is not new to us. Feedback for the local ringtone offering has been positive, based on us testing those ringtones within the regions they were targeted at,” said Henry Daw, from Nokia’s Sound Design team.

Together with Audio Draft, a group that organizes sound design contests and helps companies outsource their audio productions, Nokia introduces the competition in five different regions – China, India, Southeast Asia and Pacific, Middle East and Africa as well as Latin America.

Each of these regions will have five winning ringtones to be determined by the Nokia Sound Design team, who is looking for ringtones that are first and foremost original and should not resemble the classic Nokia tune. The judging team also wants to hear tones that are upbeat, engaging and exciting and that are not longer than 30 seconds.

“The secret is to be bold and creative,” Henry Daw said.

The winning ringtones will be included in the ringtone selection on certain Nokia phones and their creators will also receive a cash prize of USD 1,500 each.

If you are interested in joining, you may visit the competition website for South East Asia and Pacific and simply register as a user. You may then submit your entry anytime from March 20 to April 17, 2012.

The Nokia Sound Design team will listen to all the entries and will select the winners on April 24. Everyone is also encouraged to visit the competition sites and rate the entries throughout the duration of the contest.
