Ministry Interview: "ICT and the Future"

Producer: The Ministry of Education www.minedu.govt.nz

The first ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) Strategy for Schools was released in 1998. The goals of this strategy were to build infrastructure and school capability. It was followed in July 2001 by a discussion document (draft strategy for 2002-2004) and then in June 2002 by the new strategy "Digital Horizons: Learning through ICT". This strategy focuses on the challenge of integrating ICT more fully into curriculum practice

In this segment, the guests discuss the new strategy, reflect on the topics covered in the recent NavCon 2K2 conference, and explore how the learning environment is changing as ICTs become part of the everyday lives of schools.

Parents as Partners: "Online Worlds"

Producer: The Learning Centre Trust of New Zealand www.learningcentretrust.org.nz for The Ministry of Education.

Parents are their children's first teachers – but it can be daunting to know what best to do for your child.

Increasingly children are immersing themselves in digital worlds – through computer games such as Age of Empires, and online where they have mana, decision-making power and status. How can parents and schools inhabit these worlds too?

Presenter David Copeland is joined by the head of the National College of Design and Technology, John Denton, to discuss this phenomenon of the new millennium.
