Abstract

The use of technology is well-established in teaching curricula and as a tool for educators in secondary schools in New Zealand. Within their career practice in schools, practitioners are regularly using web-based technologies. However, most career practitioners are unlikely to participate in the process of establishing and maintaining school websites, and in particular the career-related content. The perceived relevance of school websites can therefore vary for practitioners, especially where various practice settings are considered.
