Although this work was published in 2002, it provides a thorough discussion of ICT as a strategy against poverty. Many concepts here remain relevant and thought provoking 12 years on. Harris investigates possibilities for ICT based education, e-learning, and life-long learning to forge "substantial improvements in the daily lives of millions of poor people". This work could be linked to Year 10 History and the Depth Study on Rights and Freedoms.
This film and study guide represents a substantial effort to tackle youth homelessness in Australia. With an estimated 22,000 homeless youth every night, the urgency of the problem is undeniable. The study guide helps students understand the issue of youth homelessness and offers instructions on how to "add your voice" by making a documentary about homelessness in your area -a very worthy application of ICT skills. "Make a change and take action" is the exhortation of the film maker. Links to Civics and Citizenship ideals here.
