NZ schools in line for anytime, anyplace online education. Telecom New Zealand has added enhanced capability to the SchoolZone package it supplies to over a thousand New Zealand schools. SchoolZone is a web-based personalised learning platform that gives students access to all their tools in one place: web access, email, lesson plans and school intranet, allowing teachers, students and administrators to share online classroom and learning information. Teachers can provide students with resources and information as well as collaborative tools that enrich and augment classroom activities, all of which are accessible by students anytime, anywhere. For instance, students can access handouts, participate in threaded discussions and submit work online, while teachers can see which students have accessed trackable resources, comment back to students in collaborative journals and add resources that update immediately for the students.
