It has been brought to our attention that a number of computers in homes families around New Zealand are getting called at home and told there is something wrong with their computer. They are called by people who say they are from Microsoft or Windows. It is not only computers in homes families that are targeted, and extends to a wide number of users.

Friendly reminder: Under no circumstances should you let someone take remote control of your computer..or give anybody your login information.

Tim Davies-Colley, Regional Coordinator

Previously a teacher and secondary school principal, I am passionate about addressing issues of inequality and injustice.

I believe Computers in Homes is one of the only programmes that helps bridge the learning relationship between home and school, while at the same time, helping to bridge the digital divide.

The Porirua City Community IT Education Trust (PCCITET), more widely known as e-Learning Porirua, was established in 2001.

The Trust aims to help bridge the digital divide (this aim is a catch cry and part of our logo) by training families in computer skills to give them the confidence and tools to gain a job and therefore reduce unemployment, while also improving students achievement levels in the City’s low decile schools.
