Nga Pumanawa e Waru is setting up a 'digi-marae' after calls from older members of the marae who want to learn about the internet.
The programme's co-ordinator Mercia Yates said it was an opportunity to engage with and provide training for their Rotorua whanau, at some of the local marae.
"This training will provide whanau with basic skills to learn how to access online spaces that their children and mokopuna are working in, as well as building their own confidence to understand how a connected device can enhance their learning in the home.
"They will also have the opportunity to learn about other technology that can be used to enhance learning in a digital space."
She said they were working with Te Ohu Hiringa to identify marae and whanau who would be interested in participating in the programme. And they were partnering with Noel Leeming Rotorua and its in-store educator, Di Palfrey, who will take the lessons with Ms Yates.
