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!
