The cluster is an Outreach of Manaiakalani and the programme began in schools during 2015 with teacher professional learning and development and schools readying their infrastructure for the rollout of 1:1 devices in 2016.
Teaching and learning is clearly the umbrella mechanism to activate and sustain the pedagogy, which is essential for learning, whānau engagement and device readiness. There is an expectation that participants will constantly reflect on how well they are doing in relation to the Learn Create Share pedagogy. This pedagogy drives toward visible and ubiquitous learning, strong learner agency and connectedness to grow knowledge.

Every teacher in a primary school that is in their first year of teaching in a class where each student uses a device, is provided facilitation for an hour every week. A trained and experienced facilitator provides the Outreach cybersmart curriculum integrated with G-Suite tools and other online apps that work well with chromebooks.
