Edublogs & Cybersmart
Purpose of Blogging:
In 2022 we changed blogging platforms to edublogs. Blogging has become an important way in which our young people share their learning with the world. Blogging empowers our learners to establish an authentic audience for their learning outcomes and personifies our cluster goals and learn, create, share pedagogy. Over successive years an impressive portfolio of learning develops.
Blogging is also a key component of our Cybersmart Curriculum.
Cybersmart Curriculum:
Cybersmart learning is embedded in our Te Ara Tūhura goals and supports our learn, create, share pedagogy. Being Cybersmart empowers our learners as connected citizens, and their learning as visible and accessible, anytime, any place, at any pace. Cybersmart young people learn to make smart decisions in digital learning environments and understand that every time they connect, collaborate and share online it combines to create their digital footprint. Each cybersmart category includes key learning concepts that are critical to enabling our young people to make smart decisions when learning, creating and sharing online.
