Techlink Media Section
This section brings together all the promotional material that Techlink has produced and advice and assistance to help you gain media coverage for your students' achievements. We encourage teachers to use this material to inform their peers and to raise the profile of Technology education in the wider community. An updated version of Techlink's Media Kit, which now includes a media release template, has also been added to this section. All material is available for download at http://www.techlink.org.nz/latest-news/Media.htm.
