Research Language, culture & identity / Productive Partnerships – Te Mangōroa – Acknowledging what whānau want / Whānau & Student Aspirations
Pulling out and putting in ‘A little bit more’ Productive partnerships – Te Mangōroa Engaging whānau – VLN discussion post Connect with our communities – with and about –ICTs
Ākonga & Kaiako – wider whānau, hapū, iwi – whanaunga – BROs Brofessionalism takes place…to create, foster and make learning happen But where is this source of knowledge drawn from…???? What is above this???
Aligning this BROfessional e-Learning approach to Māori thinking – Māori Pedagogy – 3 kete – combination of 3 Developing this idea – Because there are stories about the baskets/the stones…before and after Downloading of knowledge….kīnaki / kōmiri – mix (Blend) and sort - Learn
Traditional Knowledge Based on beliefs, Non-negotiables – What our Māori children come with – Inherent stuff – by virtue of who they are – Ka Hikitia Educators have to acknowledge that our children come with more than what you see Language, culture & identity – Te Mangōroa / Ka Hikitia
Downloading of knowledge – E-Learning is learning that is encouraged and supported by information technology and communication technology. Information technology is critical to this generation, and is an effective means of teaching and learning. E-Learning allows: easy access to knowledge in New Zealand and the wider world from the school or home; the learner and community to learn together; the learner to have varied experiences, and experiences beyond the school and home Accessible knowledge/skills – Developing skills to use e-Learning tools – Developing skills to work appropriately & safely within the virtual realm / Derived my thoughts from the work of Tukaki Waititi 3 kete are visible Inorder to develop and access this knowledge…skills – relationships have to be strong Ako – Te Mangōroa / Ka Hikitia statement
Have to gain access to the knowledge within this basket – From Te Kete Aronui & Te Kete Tūāuri– Blend of knowledge Educators play a role to empower, guide & support our Māori Learners to access this knowledge – expertise Must be selective about what you take & use from this kete Keepin it real – by having a purpose to access knowledge/ gain expertise – possibly focus on a career Ako / Productive Partnerships – Te Mangōroa / Ka Hikitia NZC – Schools should explore not only how ICT can supplement traditional ways of teaching but also how it can open up new and different ways of learning TMoA E-Learning is learning that is encouraged and supported by information technology and communication technology. Information technology is critical to this generation, and is an effective means of teaching and learning.
