Wikipedia
–Edit-a-thon
Introduction
to Wikipedia:
Wikipedia is a free online
encylopedia that aims to allow to anyone to edit any article and create them.It
is largest and most popular general reference work on the internet.
Edit-a-thon
Wikipedia Edit-a-thon is an event which people to work
together in person to build the content on a wiki. Edit-a-thon is a special
type of meet up focus on specific encylopedia topic and is a great way to
attract new Wikipedians.
Implementation
In our school we are conducting essay
competitions to childrens for various festivals. From that we had found students
having very good proficiency skills in tamil.
We are selected 20 children from school to edit in Wikipedia.
Miss.Sindhuja ,Wikipedian from Pondicherry Wikipedia Community had taken a session on how to edit the
article on 07.11.2016
Session
Comprises of the following things:
1. Introduction to Wikipedia
2. History of Wikipedia
3. How Wikipedia helps to understand
particular concepts with recent updates.
4. How to create an account and edit
the article.
Outcome:
Edit-a-thon
improve the encylopedia and can be a great way to help new wikipedians learn to
edit.
It helps to
improve the students proficiency skills .
It is an
opportunity to improve the quality of Wikipedia by a
Students
edited some articles , related to education software such as Tux paint,
Stellarium etc.
Its helps
to edit/extend the articles in various languages.

learning activities done at the workshops.
Freedom in Computer Learning(ICT Report)
ICT Report
Introduction to Free
Software
Free Software is software
which provides users to study, modify, copy and re-distribute the software
based on their needs. This software released under the GPL (General Public
License).
Why free software in schools?
ü The computer source is completely open to all, students able
to the learn the code and helps to improve the code, redistribute the code with neighbors .
ü Free software can save schools money. Savings are possible
because free software gives schools, like other users, the freedom to copy and
redistribute the software; the school system can give a copy to every school,
and each school can install the program in all its computers, with no
obligation to pay for doing so.
ü Schools have a social mission: to teach students to be
citizens of a strong, capable, independent, cooperating and free society.
ü Free software permits students to learn how software works.
Some students, natural-born programmers, on reaching their teens yearn to learn
everything there is to know about their computer and its software.
Implementation
Free Software group took special interest in promoting the main
aspects of the philosophy of the everyone having equal opportunity without any interpretation
such as the freedom to share knowledge and the freedom to cooperate with our
community by contributing improvements to computer programs. This awareness
about Free software was largely the
result of what we learned at the meeting organized by the Free Software
Hardware Movement , in the nearby city of Pondicherry. Attending those
meetings also helped us to work in close connection with the Free Software
community.
How We Did It
ü
Academicians from Free software group conduct pre-test for
students and take analysis report based on that they prepared syllabus .
ü
They selected nearly 150 students from Class VI to IX. They had
taken ICT training session for students
from computer basics to programming for
3 months.
ü
They had provided resource materials for ICT Classes for further
improvement of students.
Training was not
limited to software, it also included teaching the basics of hardware
maintenance to teachers and students. In our school, 14 years old students know
how to assemble a PC.The use of Free programs in the classroom was facilitated
by the implementation of training modules aimed at instructing teachers on the
use of specific programs for teaching various subjects. For example, there was
a training module for teachers of Mathematics on how to use Dr Geo for teaching geometry, another one for teachers of Chemistry
on how to draw organic molecules using Chemtool, and many others.
Other training activities were
conducted jointly by the school and FSHM Pondicherry to teach us the use of different Free Software
applications such as Blender, Inkscape, and the command line interface.
Commitment to Free
Software
At the beginning the new system was used on a dual-boot
basis, because we teachers were not familiar with Free Software, but we soon
got acquainted with it to a great extent. Free Software is being used in the
classroom and in the administration offices. We use a wide range of free
programs in the classroom, such as GIMP, Tux Paint, Audacity, GPeriodic and LibreOffice, but there are many others.
Students are also introduced to Wikipedia(Online Encylopedia)
Result
Education in the State of Puducherry has become "IT-enabled", meaning
that students are getting first hand technology knowledge while learning
regular curriculum subjects outside the IT Lab. This is possible due to the
large number of high quality educational applications available in GNU/Linux.

Our STEM LAND Visit. STEM (Science , Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Land is learning center and resource center that Aura Auro is setting up in Udavi School,Auroville
STEM Lab Visit
STEM (Science , Technology,
Engineering, Mathematics) Land is learning center and resource center that Aura
Auro is setting up in Udavi School,Auroville. From our school team of 20
students & 2 teachers visited the STEM Lab on 11.12.2016. We had met the
STEM Lab Initiator Mr.Sanjeev Ranganathan who had passion in innovative
teaching. He said , The school uses
theory of constructivism which says knowledge is not taught to a learner but
recreated by the learner on his or her own,. It encourages learning by doing
and discovery learning.
The STEM Lab encompasses a vast array
of subjects that fall of subjects that fall into each of those term.
STEM areas include engineering, astronomy, computer science,physics and
robotics among many, many others. As
evidenced by the multitude of discipline, it is clear that STEM fields affect
virtually every component of our everyday lives.
The Lab equipped with more than 200 puzzles
& Strategy games. The students get to use the Arduino technology an open source
electronic prototyping platform to create interactive electronic objects. They
are using FOSS(Free & Open Source
Software) for programming(Scratch,
Alice, Spider), 3D Animation(Blender).
A Group of children working in mathematics project using Scratch
Programming. One of the child from IX standard She explained, how to understand
the mathematical formula by using 3D Animation.
Children had
interaction with the teachers &
students. Students playing puzzles, solving rubik cube & programming done by using Scartch & Alice under the
guidance of the volunteers from Auro Aura design. The Class IX girl dreams of becoming a computer scientist,
she says and wants to write a program which can
used for space research. Some of projects which was created by students
The resource centre is also adults to
experiment and create at its “maker space” With a material room and building
room..
This method of teaching will help for
children to better level of understanding in a particular concept. Today’s students
are tomorrow’s leaders. Occupations in STEM-related careers are some of the
fastest growing and best paid of the 21st century, and they often
have the greatest potential for job growth.
