Electrotechnology (and Guinness) travel to New Zealand.






Align Center
Electrotechnology and Guinness continue on their journeys and have just visited Christchurch and Auckland in New Zealand. While in Christchurch they visited the Electrotechnology Department of CPIT ( Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology ), where great strides are being taken in the implementation of Computer technology and the use of Tablet PC's as well as Web 2.0 social networking methodologies to enable students to interact with others who are doing similar learning to them.


We then travelled to Auckland and visited UNITEC and the electrotechnology unit there. They are also using new technologies including mobile phones to interact using Web 2.0 ( Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter and others ).

While in Auckland we travelled down south to Rotorua and the videos you see here were taken at the hot mud pools and areas where hot sulpur fumes are pouring out of the ground from fissures. What a fantastic day we had !!!!
