Photos: Kogarah High School gets Lenovo netbooks

The NSW Minister for Education and Training Verity Firth visited Kogarah High School with Lenovo's global CEO today, to launch stage two of the Government's digital education revolution.

School kids from Kogarah High School are riveted to their new Lenovo netbooks.

NSW Education and Training Minister Verity Firth speaking to media at the press conference after meeting the kids.

Minister Firth took questions form the press alongside the global CEO of Lenovo Yuanqing Yang.

Minister Firth was keen to point out to the kids that the netbooks had a spill resistant keyboard and were pre-loaded with about $5,000 worth of software.

Never work with children or animals, they say. This young guy asked the Minister why some functionality on the netbooks was blocked. She then revealed that the NSW Government will likely relax content rules in the near future.

The Minister also suggested the children should differentiate their netbooks by using different 'skins'.

NSW Education and Training Minister Verity Firth, Kagorah High School Principal Virginia Pacey and the global head of Lenovo Yuanqing Yang.

NSW Department of Education and Training CIO Stephen Wilson today explained that the netbooks will take advantage of Microsoft Windows Applocker tools to reduce the risk of them being used for illegal purposes.
