ABSTRACT
Zoe Andrews went along for an introductory visit to the local Technology College. She was with a group of her 11-year-old pupils who would be starting at the college the following September. Looking around the library, she was impressed by the suite of thirty computer workstations. The students seemed to be in a state of flux. Some were seated at computers, while others were standing around or moving from group to group, leaning over to point to the screen or occasionally swapping places with those seated. Some had drinks cans or a sandwich next to the keyboard. ‘Are they waiting for their class to start?’ she asked. The librarian smiled. ‘No; they’re working,’ she said.
