In the past 20 years, there has been a massive revolution in information and communication technology (ICT). But in many classrooms, you could be forgiven for thinking this revolution never occurred. Not only do today's young people own multiple ICTs, they use them constantly in their day-to-day life. It's easy to regard the shift in use of technology as being something fundamentally new, but it's not. For many young people, staying in close and regular contact with their peer group is very important. Remember when you socialised for hours on the telephone? Today it's YouTube, MySpace and Facebook where young people build social networks and use ways that they feel most comfortable exchanging information. "Chalk and talk" might just still work, but it's hard work, and ignoring communication methods that can be much more effective for today's student only makes your job harder. This program opens up a discussion about e-learning: what it's good for, why we need it, and how we can encourage it in our schools. It looks at the revolution in youth communications, the implications of this on education, the meaning of multiliteracy and recent developments in e-learning from industry leaders.

New technology has had a staggering impact on the way people use information, and the speed at which is it introduced and utilised is just as quick. Some new technologies are so quickly integrated into the online world that they are not yet covered by government policy and laws, and this can lead to conflict between users and creators. This program examines the complex world of digital piracy and the copyright of computer-related media, including software, games and music. A must see program for students of this digital age.

There's no doubt that technology has brought the world into every young person's life. After all, you can find out pretty much anything in less than a second on the internet and it's never been easier to communicate instantly with anyone anywhere in the world from wherever you are. But some people ask, does that necessarily mean that young people today have got anything interesting to say? And can they spell it anyway? This Australian-made, curriculum fit program will ignite fierce debate as to whether information and communications technology is actually helping or hampering our basic numeric skills, verbal communication and literacy development. With expert opinions, student vox pops, statistics and historical references presented for debate and discussion, this program poses the question: how do we best harness the incredible power of ICT for quality educational outcomes?

Not everyone is happy with traditional forms of media. Concerns about independence and a decline in public debate have left many feeling that their voice will never be heard or considered. However, the internet has meant that ordinary people can be both producer and distributor of information and opinions through web-logs (blogs). However, the question still remains; are their voices really being heard? Having an online presence is one thing, but how do you attract attention to your blog when there are already 8.5 million bloggers out there? This program will inform students about the emergence of blogs, look at their associated negatives and positives and debate whether they really are an opportunity for the alternative voice or just uncensored rants.

Most computer users are familiar with terms such as chips, hard drives, RAM, but what is a chip and what does it actually do? What does a hard drive look like and how does it work? Although the details of what lies under our computer cases is changing rapidly, the underlying design remains relatively stable. Aided by illustrative graphics, this program looks at the functions of the main components of a PC. It also covers a brief history of the development of the PC's main, or mother board over the past 15 years.

At the beginning of 2002, Glen Waverley Secondary College launched its new virtual classroom system called "Group Wisdom". The system was designed to help teachers better organise their class work and communicate with their students.
Through the eyes of Ylana, a student at the school, this program explores what the system does and how it was developed. The five stages of the system development lifecycle are clearly explained with the aid of diagrams and metaphors. Other concepts introduced include:
IPO charts
Data Flow Diagrams
Decision trees
System specifications
"Scope creep"
The theory of data systems comes to life in this program in a context that students will readily identify with. As Ylana herself says, "it's not just about computers and data, it's also about people."

There is little doubt that email is an extremely useful innovation that has changed, and continues to change, the way we communicate. However, the fact that email is different to both voice and paper based communications can be a source of frustration for many people.
This up to date program gives viewers an understanding of the conventions that have been developed by email users over the years to facilitate effective communication. In addition, the program exposes many of the myths that exist regarding such issues as email privacy, and warns of possible dangers when using email. The words 'Spamming' and 'Flaming' may not make sense to many people, but chances are they've come across examples of this type of behaviour in their email usage.
The animated 'cyber-postman', who features throughout the program, has seen every example of bad email usage you could imagine. With his assistance we provide a comprehensive introduction to the etiquette of using email.

Information Technology is the world's fastest growing industry, responsible for decisions and innovations that affect our daily lives as much as government policy - but not enough women are interested in I.T. as a career. This program aims to dispel a range of preconceptions many young women have about joining the industry: Working in front of a screen all day, too 'geekie', technical and dull, needing a high level maths and science background, and not enough variety and social interaction. We hear first hand from young women in the industry about their experiences and the variety of lucrative opportunities available.
