One of the first people to address the crowd at the ULearn12 conference was Helen Robinson, Chair of the Board of N4L, the entity that is now charged with delivering what schools need in terms of connectivity, content and dynamic “learning-to-learn” online services that are safe, easy, relevant and affordable across the Ultrafast broadband that is being implemented in NZ.

While it is early days yet (still another six positions to fill as advertised on this site), schools should be encouraged to see progress continuing to be made at a national level to support them in this way.
