Kaupapa Maori

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.

4 laptops, 3 people, go figure. this is a moment in time where we had a brainstorm and decided to develop this kaupapa m??ori blog to assist us for. currently the kaupapa m??ori team is:

h??mi (aka harry)
daphne (aka mere)
kathe (aka sally)
naketa (aka gertie)

our collective responsibilities are to ensure that we each contribute and co-construct a blog that will assist each of us and you to highlight kaupapa in the wider ict world that will benefit us all.

When you’re offered breakfast, what better reason does one need to get out of bed and head to Hemi’s!! Tomatoes, bacon, eggs, hash browns, croissants, spaghetti, juice and coffee…………..yumbo!

Add to that, our own dishes washers - well………..stacking the dishwasher kinda counts! Laptops up, phones at the ready and orientation, navigating through some of the online communities, was the key flavouring of the day. An audio conference with Nick - and a quick touch base with Jonathan Furness, added to our day of PD and great dialogue.

Next time though, when I’m needing to do an online tutorial………..I might want to move away from Daph and Hemi whom decided it was a good time to pull faces and try and put me off my stride!! It’s OK you two……………you’ll keep!!

A very productive day, lots of new learning and great company

Nau mai, to our little place in the vast cosmos that is the internet. If you happened upon us by mistake, well done YOU!!! Great to see the universe has pointed you our way. If your here because you were made to/forced to/encouraged to - Big kia ora to you too.
This area was created by a colleague of mine, Harry on behalf of all us (Sally, Mere and Gertie LOL). Its a place for us all to vent, share, bond, connect, create, support etc etc.
Anyway, I was given the privilege of creating the first comment in this blog area. I have successfully written for half of the white dialogue space and managed to yet again say nothing of substance LOL. Thats why its great working with colleagues who are more than capable of picking up where I’m about to leave off…whether they are willing is another story…
