| description | The research reported in this paper considers the current telecommunications network for the three education systems of state, independent and catholic schools in Western Australia and Queensland as well as drawing on the personal experiences of teachers in these systems as the government attempts to close the digital divide with its Networking the Nation directives.

This paper discusses the possibilities and issues. |
