Students pass on their IT skills to others in Hope Vale

In July 2006, five students from Djarragun College visited Hope Vale Aboriginal Community in Cape York as tutors to pass on their IT skills and show others the exciting potential of the Internet.

Young people from Hope Vale Aboriginal Community were chosen to pair-up with the students of Djarragun to learn how to send emails, surf the Internet, make posters, business cards and telephone calls through Skype.

Online Introduction to Computers course run by JobFind to demonstrate the learning tools available to students in remote locations. The teacher for this course was in Tasmania and the young people enjoyed a week of learning where the teacher could remotely control their computers.
