For both Mäori students in general education and students in Mäori immersion programmes, playing games is the most popular use of the computer when not at school, with research the next most popular use. For Mäori students in general education, playing games is also the most popular use of the computer at school. Other popular activities at school are publishing, research and computer skills. When at school, the most popular activity for students in Mäori immersion programmes is computer skills. Other activities were about half as popular. |
