Kia ora koutou

Posts on this blog have not been that regular lately as term 3 is proving to be a very busy month.
Hopefully the following will keep you up to date with what has been happening in our rohe.

• Te Rangitawaea Festival is happening on the East Coast again next Wednesday 13th September. Come and visit during the day at Ngata College to view Ngati Porou schools participating in the annual ICT expo. Powhiri is at 8.30am. During the morning schools will also enter an ICT team challenge that lasts for 3 hours followed by each team presenting their mistery ICT challenge. At 6.00pm it's all LIGHTS - ACTION as we move to Uepohatu Marae for the nights glamour event, the "Nati Awards". Come and see ICT in education with the COAST flavour.
• After School Workshops are still running in Gisborne and Wairoa. If their is a particular topic that you would like included in the last workshop coming up in Gisborne and Wairoa please drop me a line. One suggestion for the Gisborne workshop is to learn some basic skills of PhotoShop, anyone keen?
• Computers in Homes - Gisborne is about to start amongst our 17 primary schools in the Gisborne city area. Riverdale and Waikirikiri will be the first to roll out a cluster of 25 computers each to their school whanau. I have set up a blog to keep Computers in Homes information flowing. http://www.cihgisborne.blogspot.com/
