Today I noticed on the Prime Ministers youtube channel that he is giving members of the general public the chance to upload video questions for him to answer. I felt this was a good opportunity to hit him hard with some school related technology stuff so I got to work drafting my question, and here it is...
By using Youtube to get your message out there and interact with the public I gather you are aware of the power that the internet holds in our society today, and how the tools of the internet can be really useful in many different areas of work and of course leisure.
So my question is, with our society becoming ever more technologically dependent and the internet being such a prominent and useful tool in many different areas, why are our schools not making good use of technology - the internet in particular. Why also are this countries students not being shown how to use these tools effectively to aid their studies, which at the same time will prepare them to use the technology that is so important in the outside world today.
I'm going to hold off making and uploading the video until I'm sure I've got the question just right. I would love for anyone reading to comment with any thoughts they may have to help me tweak the question. After that I just need to upload it and see if the Youtube viewers think my question is the best to be put forward (voting starts on the 26th).

About Me
- Sean "The Bass Player"
- I'm a pretty laid back and creative kind of guy. I love music of any sort, I play double bass, bass guitar and a bit of electric guitar. I love technology, especially all the wonders of the internet. I'm not the most academic of people, but I don't think that should count for much. All in all I'm happy with who I am.

Nice idea Sean. Just go with it let your passion for technology and your desire to use it to help you learn come out in your film.
Good question Sean and you have gone straight to the top. I think exactly the same question should be asked of every senior manager in schools (in this case NZ)
Connectivity in the classroom is the issue but it is fast becoming an affordable option with cheap web browsers such as the Asus Eee PC.
good luck go for it
Politicians are getting smart with their use of new media. Almost scary!
Sean posting a question in youtube channel a great chance for the people.Now a days internet technology is becoming a part of human beings, so this method is very well useful.Just keep it up
