「有機上網」介紹 Introduction of WebOrganic


我在「有機上網」做計劃經理已經快兩年時間了。從上班第一天開始,我就已經問有沒有簡單的一張Slide去介紹「有機上網」。最後還是在上班半年、做了好幾次演講後,自己做了一張。


以下是標準的介紹:
******************************

「政府資訊科技總監辦公室」推行的「一家一網e學習」計劃,支援學生在家中進行網上學習。「有機上網」在香港西部10個地區執行「一家一網e學習」計劃,通過13個地區支援中心,提供下列6個範疇的服務:1. 價格相宜的上網服務;  2. 價格相宜的電腦和靈活的付款方式;  3. 技術支援服務 (新增設上門技術支援服務); 4. 學生培訓; 5. 家長培訓; 6. 小組及個別輔導服務。


「有機上網」旨在協助有需要的學生進行網上學習,名字的意思是「有機 ﹝電腦配套)便可以上網,上網便可以有機(機會)」。我們深信,資訊科技的配套是建立良好學習基礎的其中重要元素。透過資訊科技的運用,學生便可以提升學習興趣和發揮潛能。 我們希望透過這項計劃,讓受助學生可以有更多希望。


「有機上網」的標誌是一夥已萌芽和成長中的小豆,它寓意希望、機會和選擇。 這項計劃為新一代帶來電子學習的機會,讓學生能在優良的學習配套下茁壯成長,並發揮無窮的潛能和創意。


計劃由20119月開展以來,直至20142月,「有機上網」在兩年內已經為四萬家庭登記參加本計劃,並已經服務超過一萬三千個家庭。


The“i Learn at home”Internet Learning Support Programme is sponsored by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO). WebOrganic implements the programme in 10 districts in the western region of Hong Kong. With 13 Community Support Centres (CSC), WebOrganic offers the following 6 types of services: 1. affordable Internet access service and computer equipments; 2. flexible payment options; 3. technical support through hotline and help-desk; 4. training for students; 5. training for parents; and 6. group & individual counseling service.


The goal of WebOrganic is to provide the means to the needy students for learning over the Internet.  Hardware and software support will make eLearning possible, and Web learning opens up new opportunities. We firmly believe that information technology is one of the most important tools in building a good foundation for the young through education, and that it elevates the learning interest and develop the latent potentials of the students.  Our programme aims to generate chances and hope with a special focus on the underprivileged.


The sprouting bean, our icon, represents Hope, Chance and Choice.  It is a WebOrganic virtuous circle that denotes growth and innovation for the younger generation through eLearning and peripheral support.


The program launch in September 2011, as of February 2014. Within 2 years of operation, there are over 40,000 families enrolled in the program, and WebOrganic serviced more than 13,000 families.
