Among households with an annual income under $50,000, 31.4% don’t have broadband internet access. For households with an annual income over $50,000, the number is much smaller—only 8.4% lack access to broadband internet.

- Use the Move it extension to ensure healthy practices when using ICT. For example set the Move It window to pop up every ten minutes while students are researching or viewing online to ensure that students understand the health impacts associated with excessive ICT use.
- Use The QR Code Generator to encourage a student's enquiry skills by posting QR clues around the classroom in the context of a research project on the daily life of Australian children during the Second World War or a science teacher films all of her practical experiments and then uploads the videos to the school’s virtual learning environment. Each video is archived and displayed as a QR code on the wall of the science lab for reference by students and other teachers.
- Use Google Docs to create a cross classification chart which lists uses of ICT in different settings and notes potential positive and negative impacts.
