The sun is shining in the good ole Bay of Islands!

In early November 2014 I once again had the privilege of watching a large group of Bay of Islands College parents complete our Computers in Homes programme.   Their continued level of attendance and commitment to the programme blew me away; so determined were they to learn new skills and provide a digital resource for their whanau.

I often think our school-aged generation can't quite fathom 'what's so hard about using a computer?'  Digital technology is such an integral part of their learning that they aren't fully aware of their inherent skills.  It's not until they see their parents learning how to use a computer, and learning skills these kids take for granted, that the penny drops! 

There is still such a huge community of people that need the Computers in Homes programme in Northland, and I dearly hope our New Zealand Government continues to pave the way for this invaluable programme in our country.

One million thank-yous' to everyone involved in the Bay of Islands College CIH programme this year - trainers Briony and Paul Johnston and Ariana Waiomio, technician JP Vandenameele and the Principal and staff of this fantastic school!
