Watch: Group of students teaching elders how to become tech savvy - 'I'll get there one day'

A group of kuia (female elders) who meet twice a week to share their knowledge, skills and experience with the Waitara community and its high school have been getting lessons of their own.

Today, the group received one-on-one training from their students to help make them a little more tech-savvy.

"I've taught her how to reply to a text, to look at a text, call someone and use a camera to look at photos," student Anika Bailey said of elder Marina Paki.

Ms Paki admitted it wasn't an easy task to get up to speed with modern-day methods of communication.

"I'll get there one day, knowing me I'll go back to the normal way," she said.
