ICT and the future
What was The Knowledge Breakfast?
The Knowledge Breakfast was a new television series that featured New Zealand education and innovation in action.
Screening on TV One on Saturday mornings, each programme featured live interviews with people involved in education and research, and those who have excelled in other related fields.
It included some examples of education programmes from overseas, as well as New Zealand resources and regular New Zealand segments such as:
- Spotlight on TKI (www.tki.org.nz)
Every week this segment highlighted a feature of the Ministry of Education's online learning centre for schools – Te Kete Ipurangi. - Parents as Partners
Parents and caregivers are their children's first teachers and these weekly segments offered ideas and strategies to help them in their learning journey.
Who were the presenters?
The Knowledge Breakfast was co-presented by former TVNZ journalist and
international correspondent, Liam Jeory, alongside netball personality
and secondary school teacher, Bernice Mene.
When did it screen?
The series screened live on Television New Zealand's TV One on Saturday
mornings, between 6.15am and 9am. The first programme was broadcast on
Saturday 25 May 2002 and the series ran until Saturday 13 July 2002.
From 6.15am to 7am the programmes featured excerpts from a range of international and New Zealand education programmes.
From 7am to 8am the programme featured material most relevant to schools.
From 8am to 9am the focus broadened to include New Zealand tertiary learning, research, and knowledge business applications, incorporating wide-ranging panel discussions.
What is in the series?
The Knowledge Breakfast was a springboard for ideas and presentations
from last year's successful Knowledge Wave conference. It was also an
opportunity to discuss some of the many initiatives underway in New Zealand
education and research, and to explore how television can reflect these
initiatives.
