From Toughing it to Buffing it

-

Ko ōku wh Ko ōku whakaaro me ōku mahi mo ngā mārama i pahure, ko te tōtika ngā mahi rorohiko kia pai taku tū i mua i ng ngā akonga. 

Te aha?

He aha ai?

Te matauranga

1. Set up my class site Quickly

2.Set up my class blogs

3. Awhi akonga to blog             

Pressure & stress of looking at other amazing sites drove me to design my site alike. 

The problems started and continued when setting up subpages amongst others that were still visible. 

My inability to navigate while remembering where I had been and where I was going to, what I had done and what actions do I need to take became overwhelming. I soon lacked desire and motivation. 

It is difficult to get support from our digital school leader due the many demands that person has to endure. I am too slow.

In Term1 most akonga couldn’t access their blogs so there was a wait time before access was available Term 2. Ka pai! Engari some still had problems. 

I couldn’t access the widgets to update their

 ‘Ko au’ details.          

Re-focus, Re-align the knowledge and skill within me, korero tahi ki taku Kaiarahi o ngā tuakana. 

Kaua e tukua ngā matangohi ki te pakanga. Never give up!

Our Kaiarahi encouraged, praised my ability and prior knowledge of digital practice and mahi. Took the time to share digital knowledge and practice.

Ko te mea nui, kia āta haere! 

I had to take my time and begin again my digital learning journey. 

I wanted to teach, learn and share digital learning to my tamariki. No time to cry about the misconception that I have lost it and can go no further.              

My achievements to date: My class site is taking a while engari e pai anā na te mea, I can see where to next and am continuing to move forward carefully. Akonga are able to access Te Reo Māori-Panui, Korero, Kainga, Blogs.


I learned how to use Canva to present akonga moemoeā to their whānau.  I created a template and design for akonga to use. They followed my design and some made small moderations which was great. We have now made our first Room6 blog entry. 


Term 2: Akonga blogs were made accessible excepting 1 student. I am still in the process of updating personal information in ;Ko Au’. 


I am reminded of Sir James Henare’s quote for te reo māori. ‘WE DIDN’T COME THIS FAR TO NOT GO ANY FURTHER.         


Now - Every small step has been a greater step forward to Digital Victory!!!

Ko te hōhonutanga o te kaupapa, ko te reo o to tatou tupuna mai ki ngā whakatupuranga o te kura o Tautoro.

  My Growth Cycle encompasses the question based on student needs and abilities to learn and develop the knowledge and skills necessary for their own personal, cultural and educational growth. It seeks to provide a wide range of learning strategies, experiences and expected outcomes.  The Big question: “How can I give students the knowledge and strategies that will enable them to engage confidently in simple and ongoing conversations in te reo?” I have too often observed students who lack the vocab and the sentence structures necessary to be able to engage in basic conversations in Te Reo Maori. There are many reasons why our students are in these positions. The following share a small window of some underlying issues that challenge the effectiveness of te reo programmes and resources being equitable for the learning and development of fluency in Mainstream medium schools for young Maori students.  Their first language is English Families are not confident reo speakers Te Reo is not sp

  He Manu Tuhituhi The presentation above provides a general overview of the tuhituhi levels and purposes within each pukapuka. It also gives a brief explanation of how NZ Manu represent each pukapuka. As we continue on our tuhituhi journey He Manu Tuhituhi resources will help us gain a deeper understanding and confidence to teach tuhituhi effectively. A way forward to come closer to achieving our goal will be to identify and remove barriers to teaching and learning te reo tuhituhi at Tautoro School. Implement positive and effective strategies including time frames for strengthened and measurable outcomes.
