PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT SUMMARY
Raewyn has taken a really honest look at a range of issues, from engaging with whānau, use of digital technologies and the preferences of Māori students for in-person experiences - how these things can be usefully and meaningfully addressed in a hybrid environment. The feedback from students gathered at the beginning of the project proved very useful and illustrates just how important it is to take account of student voice in this way.
Taking time to engage with each whānau individually proved to be the key to success here - most importantly, that Raewyn was able to support her concerns with the evidence that she could share with whānau. The subsequent increase in engagement bears testimony to how valuable this exercise was, despite the fact that, at the time, it required a significant commitment of time.
Raewyn’s final reflections around Māori learners wanting/needing to be fully involved and to have the opportunity to ‘feel’ involved, even at a distance, has profound significance for the way teachers design their hybrid learning experiences.
MY PROBLEM
MY PROBLEM
Promoting whanaungatanga engaging with ākonga and whānau online. Some students are whakamā and resist turning their cameras on and therefore there is an assumption that they are not engaging. Ākonga are finding it hard to focus on the work required to complete. Finding motivation for kaiako and providing support for kaiako to work in zoom spaces, and how to get the best out of them in a short time. The need for human connection kanohi ki te kanohi - how do we replicate this within a hybrid environment?
MY HUNCH
MY HUNCH
My hunch is that if I spend the time to kōrero and wānanga with ākonga and whānau around online learning this will better inform our pedagogical practice, tools and engagement.

WHAT I DID
WHAT I DID
I used a range of online learning platforms and best practices to utilise these and to maximise learning opportunities.
I used the Gather app for some of our presentations.
I used Jam boards and digital whiteboards for collaborative mahi and mahi-ā-rōpū.
Using these tools so that ākonga that are away do not fall behind in their learning and assessments.
