This document discusses challenges facing New Zealand's education system and how schools can better prepare students. It notes the population has become more diverse and technologies more advanced. Schools must adapt to these changes. The document advocates developing students who can think creatively in a global society, learn independently and collaboratively using technologies, and continue learning throughout their lives. It provides examples of how students currently use technologies as creators, contributors, communicators, collaborators and coordinators. The document recommends schools explore new ways technology can enhance learning beyond just supplementing traditional teaching. It also cautions that access, resources and safety issues need addressing for technology to be used effectively in education.
