As many New Zealanders struggle to understand their teenagers in the 21st century, the Growing Up in New Zealand study promises comprehensive insights into the lives of our young people. The study's findings will ultimately inform policy with in-depth answers provided both in the medium and long term. Led by The University of Auckland and underpinned by government funding, the Growing Up in New Zealand study aims to refocus ineffective strategies and reap benefits for all our children. Following some 7,000 children born in 2009 and 2010 the study will identify problematic outcomes in our newest generation, but will also highlight what is working for our current population and the various cultures within it and how we can build on those successes.

A new programme funded by government will target young people who lack the qualifications to seek higher learning, says the head of the Pacific Economic Development Agency, JR Pereira. "Many of our young people leave the school system without the qualifications for higher learning, or the skills to get better jobs and incomes," said Mr Pereira. "These young people are still important to us. However, the current funding criteria for this group stops at 18. We saw a gap and developed a project to target 19-24 year olds." The programme, known as the Pacific Skilled Employment scheme, will be delivered over four years in partnership with key stakeholders. For more information visit: http://www.pacificeda.org/ .

For many decades after people started using cameras we could be fairly sure that few people would actually see the photos. Processing film was costly and difficult.
Few photos would be printed, and then they would mainly go into albums. Friends and family members may actually see the pictures, but very few photos would be in any sense published. No, photos were a private matter.
Except, of course, where the News media were concerned.
A few of those News photographers make a nuisance of themselves as Paparazzi — the scoundrels pointing huge lenses at celebrities, capturing every detail of their daily lives.
But most of us ordinary folk are at no risk of such intrusion.
Or are we?
Mō ngā tekau tau maha mai o te tīmatanga ki te whakamahi kāmera i mōhio tonu tātou ka ruarua noa ngā tāngata e kite pū i ngā whakaahua. He mea utu nui, he uaua hoki te tukatuka kiriata.
Ruarua noa ngā whakaahua e tāngia, otirā i haere te nuinga ki rō puka whakaemi. Ko ngā hoa me te whānau pea e kite i ngā pikitia, heoi torutoru rawa ngā whakaahua ka whakaputaina, ahakoa pēhea. Kāo, he mea muna te whakaahua.
Engari ia, ina pā ana ki te hunga pāpāho Rongo.
Ruarua noa aua kaitangowhakaahua Rongo te whakahōhā atu nei i a rātou ake anō hei Paparazzi—ngā taurekareka e tuhi ana i ngā arotahi nui ki te hunga rongonui, hopu ana ngā taipitopito katoa o tō rātou ora ia rā.
Mō te nuinga o te iwi whānui noa, kāore i a tātou te pūmate o te urutomo pērā.
I a tātou kē rānei?
In 2010 almost anyone reading this is likely to be photographed at any time, in any place. That tourist on the street may snap you as you pass in front of an interesting building.
A local may whip out a cellphone and snap you as you walk the dog, or cycle past. It's probably not you — they may simply have been capturing images of 'blue' objects, or pets, or 'people doing everyday activities', or the person behind you.
Many shops, public buildings, bus stations, streets, have cameras collecting images of all who pass by. The Google Street View car may have caught you as it whizzed past.
Many of us have a camera with us at all times, in our cellphones or music players, or some other gadget. They're not just 'still' cameras either; video cameras are increasingly tiny and common.
I te tau 2010 tērā pea ka tangohia he whakaahua o ngā tāngata katoa e pānui ana i tēnei kōrero, i tētahi wā, i tētahi wāhi. Tērā e tangohia tō whakaahua e taua tūruhi i te huarahi i a koe e hipa atu ai i taua whare whai tikanga.
Tērā e tango pea tētahi o te iwi kāinga tāna waea pūkoro ka hopu i a koe e whakahīkoi ana i te kurī, e eke pahikara atu ana rānei—kua mea noa pea ia te tango atahanga o ngā mea "kikorangi", o ngā mōkai, o "ngā tāngata e mea ana ngā mahi o ia rā", o te tangata rānei i muri i a koe.
Maha tonu ngā toa, whare tūmatanui, teihana pahi, tiriti hoki te whai kāmera e kohi whakaahua ana o te hunga ka taha atu. Tērā koe i hopua e te waka Tiro Tiriti o Google i tōna rerenga atu.
Kei te nui noa tātou e whai kāmera nei i ngā wā katoa, i ā tātou waea pūkoro, whakatangi pūoro, tētahi pūrere kē rānei. Ehara oti i te kāmera "hū" hoki; he iti tonu ake ngā kāmera ataata, he whānui hoki.
The photos and videos being recorded are more and more often being 'tagged', with location data such as latitude and longitude.
E nui haere ana te "tūtohutanga" o ngā whakaahua me ngā ataata kei te hopukina, ki te raraunga tūwāhi pēnei i te ahopae me te ahopou.
If you're in a public place you must expect that casual photos of you will probably appear on the Internet. That tourist, that local, is probably going to add the photos they took to their Facebook page, to Flickr, to their blog.
In fact, the photo may be online before you even realise you appeared in it. Many devices now send photos instantly to the Internet.
Mehemea kei tētahi wāhi tūmatanui koe me manako koe ka puta ki te Ipurangi ngā whakaahua pokanoa mōu. Ka tāpirihia pea e taua tūruhi, e taua tangata kāinga rānei, ngā whakaahua ki tōna whārangi Facebook, ki Flickr, ki tōna rangitaki.
Waihoki, ka puta ā-ipurangi pea te whakaahua i mua i tō mōhiotanga kei roto anō koe. He nui ngā pūrere ināianei ka tuku whakaahua inamata tonu ki te Ipurangi.
Even intro-level software matches photos these days — just look at Apple's iPhoto, included on every Mac. Name a person in a couple of photos and the software recognises that person in most other photos.
This kind of thing used to happen only on TV in CSI.
In 2010 we're all celebrities and we're all paparazzi. Did you realise your life was so public?
Ko ngā pūmanawa taumata-tīmata anō hoki kei te whakaōrite whakaahua ēnei rā—titiro ki tō Apple iPhoto, kei runga i ngā Mac katoa. Whakaingoatia he tangata i ngā whakaahua e rua, ā, ka mōhio te pūmanawa ki taua tangata i te nuinga o ngā whakaahua kē.
I meatia anake tēnei āhuatanga i runga TV i roto i te CSI.
Hei 2010 nei he hunga rongonui anō tātou katoa, otirā he paparazzi. I mōhio rānei koe he pēnei rawa te tūmatanui o tōu ora?
You know who your website visitors are and what your site is for. Now comes the next important consideration: what do you want visitors to do next? What is your 'Call to Action'?
A Call to Action is often seen as a marketing thing — sellers want visitors to buy something. But every website owner should think about their Call to Action.
Perhaps you'd like visitors to sign up for a newsletter or to join up as a volunteer?
E mōhio ana koe ko wai ngā kaitoro ki tō paetukutuku, he aha anō te kaupapa o tō pae. Ko nāianei nā te whaiwhakaaro nui mō muri ake: e hiahia ana koe kia aha rā ō kaitoro ā muri ake? He aha rā tō "Karanga ki te Mahi"?
Kitea nuitia ana te "Karanga ki te Mahi" hei tikanga hokohoko — ko ngā kaihoko — hiahia ana kia hoko mea ngā kaitoro. Heoi me whakaaro te tangata nōna te paetukutuku mō tana Karanga ki te Mahi.
Tērā koe e hiahia pea kia waitohu mai ngā kaitoro mō tētahi kawerongo, kia uru mai rānei hei kaitūao?
You should already know what your website is for, what it's supposed to achieve.
Is it to raise awareness? That's great, but what should people do with their increased awareness? Do you want them to buy local produce? Save the whales? Stop smoking? Be kinder to others?
E tika ana kia mōhio kē koe ki te tino pūtake o tō paetukutuku, tāna e whai nei kia taea.
Ko te whakarahi ake i te mōhio ki tētahi take? Pai tonu, heoi kia ahatia e ngā tāngata taua mōhio rahi ake? Kei te pīrangi rānei koe kia hoko rātou i tētahi hua o te wā kāinga? Kia whakaora i te pakakē? Kia mutu te kai hikareti? Kia atawhai i ētahi atu?
Make sure your website explicitly offers next steps and actions. In fact, make sure every page invites readers to take an appropriate action.
Tell readers how to proceed: visit another page, another website, sign up, join in, change behaviour.
Don't leave it to their imagination or assume they'll take an action.
Āta titiro kei te toro mārama tonu tō paetukutuku i ngā hipanga mō muri ake me ngā mahi. Otiia, āta titiro kei te tono ia whārangi kia mahi ngā kaipānui i te mea e tika ana.
Kī atu ki ngā kaipānui kia pēhea tā rātou haere ake: toro atu ki tētahi atu whārangi, tētahi atu paetukutuku, waitohu mai, uru mai, whakarerekē whanonga.
Kaua e waiho mā rātou e whakaaro, kaua rānei e whakaaro ka anga rātou ka mahi.
Is your website there to publicise an event? Suggest ways readers can pass on the information they've learned. Give them banner images and words, photos or videos and explicitly ask them to share. Suggest places where they can share: Twitter, Facebook, other networks, both online and offline.
Kei konā rānei tō paetukutuku hei pānui i tētahi whakahaerenga? Whakahuaina ētahi tikanga e tuari mōhiohio ai ō kaipānui mō ngā mea kua ako rātou. Hoatu ki a rātou ngā atahanga me ngā kupu pānuitanga, ngā whakaahua, ataata rānei, me te tono pū kia tiritahi rātou. Whakahuaina pea he wāhi e taea ai e rātou te tiritahi: Twitter, Facebook, ētahi atu whatunga, tuihono mai, tuimotu mai.
Don't just dangle information and resources in front of website visitors. Think about what visitors can do, how they can help or change or join in or recruit. Then ask them to take action and give them the help they need to do it.
Ask questions, suggest actions, prompt readers:
There are hundreds of possible actions, depending on the purpose of your site and who its visitors are.
Kaua te mōhiohio me te rauemi e whakairi noa ki te aroaro o ngā kaitoro paetukutuku. Whakaarohia te mea ka taea e ngā kaitoro, kia pēhea e āwhina mai ai rātou, e whakarerekē ai, e uru mai ai, e kimi tāngata ai. Tonoa rātou kia mahia, hoatu anō ki a rātou te āwhina e taea ai e rātou.
Uia he pātai, whakahuaina he mahi, whakatenatenatia ngā kaipānui:
He manotini ngā mahinga ka taea, i runga anō i te kaupapa o tō paetukutuku, i ngā kaitoro ki reira hoki.
Try it now: look at one page on your website and think about what readers should do next. Then tell them or invite them to take action.
Whakamātauria tēnei ināianei: titiro ki tētahi whārangi i tō paetukutuku me te whakaaro kia aha ngā kaipānui ā muri ake. Ko reira tono ai i a rātou kia mahi.
