Use digital technologies to create a collaborative learning environment. Identify tools that enable students to share their learning with you, other students/akonga, parents, and whānau. Use local Māori contexts (such as whakapapa, environment, tikanga, language, history, place, economy, politics, local icons, geography) to support Māori learners’ learning. Integrate knowledge of local context, tikanga, history, and language – including the prior knowledge that ākonga bring with them.

Creating a digital mihi (web slideshare) Mihi is a way of establishing a connection with an audience. We are looking to tell a story, to establish links or find commonalities, to establish our identity and in some cases to establish our credibility. Mihi are traditionally delivered orally but using a digital format enables accesssibility for all. (Multi lingual, sign language, voice over recording, text and images). Adding images allow you personalisation, to tell your story your way, images give us more information than text alone can, you can add sounds and music to your images. Images = building a story = building a connection, we are more likely to engage when someone shares information as a story, the act of storytelling relaxes us, makes us feel safe, is familiar to us, allowing us to more easily process and retain new information.
