The SchoolNet Youth Advisory Board (SYAB) will give an opportunity for young people to let the federal government know their views about computers and the Internet, how this technology affects learning, society and their future. Recommendations made by the board will be used to help define priorities for SchoolNet's youth services so that we know how best to prepare youth for the new information economy.If you are chosen to be on the youth board, your first task will be to join an online forum and work on some activities with other members.
These activities will help you get to know each other and help you examine the technology issues of most importance to you as a group.In the spring of 2001, SchoolNet plans to have a face-to-face meeting of the board in Ottawa. Here you will participate in more activities and finalize the youth board's recommendations. You will likely get a chance to meet the Honourary Chair of the SchoolNet Youth Advisory Board, Senator Landon Pearson; and present the board recommendations to the Minister of Industry, John Manley.
