He whakaaro noa

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Tēna koutou,
Kātahi anō māua ko taku hoa mahi a Harry ka mutu i to maua hui. Ko ia tēna e āwhina mai ana i a au ki te tuku whakaaro ki tēnei wāhi. Ko ia tēna e whakamārama ana i ngā momo āhuatanga o te tuku kōrero, o te whakapiri whakaahua, pūoro, hononga ipurangi hoki. He tangata rehe, he reiputa anō aku hoa mahi ki tēnei momo mahi, arā, te ringa raweke haere i ngā momo pumanwa rorohiko, i ngā mea katoa o te ao rorohiko, o te ao ipurangi hoki. Me taku waimarie anō e kaha ana nei rātou ki te āwhina, ki te whakautu i aku pātai – he pātai heahea i ētahi wā.
Hoi anō, i whakaritea te blog nei hei mea whakatakoto kōrero mo ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki a mātou mahi ka tahi. Ka rua he wāhi anō kia whai wā mātou, te hunga ngoikore, penei i a au nei, ki te parakitihi, kia waia haere au ki tēnei huarahi. Mā te parakitihi ka tau ai ngā whakaaro, ka marama pai ai te tangata ki te mahi, ahakoa he aha te mahi.
Na reira ko au tēnei e parakitihi haere ana i ngā akoako i whakaputaina e taku hoa e Harry i te ata nei. Kāre he pikitia, he whakaahua rānei o tēnei kōrero. Ā tōna wā e hoa mā, ā tōna wā. E mahara ana au ki ngā kupu a kui mā, a koro mā, arā, ahakoa he iti he pounamu!
Kia tau iho ngā manaakitanga o te wāhi ngaro ki runga i a koutou katoa, ahakoa kai hea. :-)

Naketa AKA Gertie

Kia ora koutou katoa;
My fellow CORE Kaupapa Maori colleagues have given me the delightful name ‘Gertie’, seriously that is funny because it’s nearly as bad as my middle name ‘Edith’. Unfortunately, I couldn’t join the CKM Crew when they gave birth to the blog but was totally there in heart, mind and spirit.

I work within the ECE ICT PL programme and am the Regional Facilitator for 8 centres in Auckland and 1 in Whangarei. My role is to tautoko teachers with their action research which looks at ways in which ICT can enrich children’s learning.

I was born and raised in South Auckland, and love and live in Otara. I am of Nga Puhi and Cook Island descent. I have two beautiful children whom keep me superbly busy, along with work and studies!
I have been teaching in early childhood education for over 10 years and currently on my final paper towards my Masters Degree. Woop woop! Look forward to engaging in discussions with you all (3 of you) … lol …via the blog!

No reira
Tena koutou, tena koutou
Tena koutou katoa

3 simple tools for teachers who want to v-blog

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

had a visit from reggae cunningham today. a teacher from te kura kaupapa maori o te rotoiti. she has just received her new macbook and has come to me for a bit of help. she is also on the nga taumatua course for the year so literacy is her main kaupapa for 2007.

today we looked at how she could use 2 online tools to showcase her work and to introduce ict’s into her little kete [bag of tricks].

macbook with built in isight
imovie to record her mihi
youtube to house her new video
blogger to set up her very own blog

nā wai rā she now has her own blog and a bit of knowledge about how to do it. the only criteria was that she has to share this new knowledge with her other classmates.

kia ora regz, nga mihi…
