Useful Sites for Training
This page has links to numerous ICT teaching resources. We have found a number of sites which have proved useful in training sessions for previous projects. There is also an Online Manual available in English, Maori, Samoan and Tongan (A guide to using email and the internet). We hope you find these links useful too.
Computers In Homes Networks
CIH is increasingly active on the web and is utilising online social media to further it's efforts in bringing computer technology within reach of all New Zealand families.
Research Related to Computers In Homes
It is important that CIH is evaluated so that we can identify how to deliver our programme better. We rely on contacting the families and schools a year or so after training to see how everyone is going and to WOF the machines. Formal surveys have also been undertaken to gather data on outcomes, and the research results published.
