Hi all, ILUG Cochin has successfully conducted a five day training program for the students of Thodupuzha Educational District. The training started on 21st. There were 65 students in total. They were from 8th and 9th class. The camp was organized by District Educational Office (DEO), Thodupuzha at Sacred Heart Girl's High School, Muthalakkodam, Thodupuzha.
The computer lab in the school is well designed and maintained. There were approximately 27 computers in the lab which are interconnected and provided with high speed internet connection. The aim of the training camp was to help students in creating and maintaining a website/blog using Wordpress and how to use GIMP for editing pictures before uploading it to a website. Wordpress, one of the most popular blogging software, help people to create blogs/website without having any knowledge in HTML or programming. The students were not aware of sending and receving email. So we decided to help students in creating email accounts and taught them how to send and receive email. We have given appropriate informations on how to use emails securely. The need for signing out and keeping passwords hidden from others were also explained. We could also help teachers in using Wordpress and GIMP. At the end of the camp some of the students and teachers were able to create there own blogs. The camp ended on 25th. A more detailed report about this training camp will be published later on ILUG Cochin website. Some of the photos are uploaded to the following location. http://picasaweb.google.co.in/sreenadh1987/VacationTrainingForStudentsThodupuzha Team members: Binny Venkat Harikrishnan Manu Sreenadh Some outputs from the camp http://tribalpoomala.wordpress.com/ http://vishakhnarayanan.wordpress.com/ The above blogs are not complete. Since majority of the students have no pc at home they won't be able to post immediately. Let us hope they will add more contents after the school reopening.
