RATIONALE Despite the growing attention on the use of computer technologies in education, its actual use in the classroom has not grown to the extent that many have predicted. This may be attributed to many reasons; one of those was lack of equipment. This lack of equipment, however, that seems to stand out as a major impediment. Many teachers have shown that it is possible to accomplish great things with access to even a single computer in the multi grade classroom. Thus this innovation was introduced to this remote barangay elementary school (Buan). Teaching the Net Generation: Curriculum, Pedagogy and the Challenge of 21 st Century Learning
