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!
