Today’s school was Parklands in the heart of Motueka. Parklands has had a lot of money spent on infrastructure over the last while and the place is well equipped but the focus is on what children can do with the tools rather than the tools themselves. Parklands has a couple of whanau classes, which made my eyes light up with the keeness of their lead teacher to have a go at podcasting- encouraging young Maori voice on the internet could be very powerful.
