Interesting and valid points you make around valuing and resourcing of te reo Māori teaching and learning. The VLN Primary is a wonderful resource for schools.

Thanks again sharing your thoughts and starting this conversation. Without ideas things don't happen and we all want what's best.

I am fortunate to work alongside kura and schools and this post is pertinent to a lot of the discussions I am having. One project I am currently part of is designed to involve kura in Digital Fluency and build the possibilities for our tamariki with Hangarau Matihiko (Digital Technologies).

In our work with kura, we aim to identify a number of challenges and opportunities that can further enhance ākonga and kaiako use of digital learning technologies into the future. An example is to provide ongoing and tailored professional learning and development opportunities to assist kura to initiate, embed and sustain effective Māori-medium content, pedagogy and infrastructure. Perhaps this example is pertinent also to schools as well; the importance and access to sustainable support.

As we continue this project and from my other interactions I look forward to sharing the learning. Likewise, I look forward to following this discussion and hearing from others.

Following on from this discussion about Te Wiki o te Reo Māori resources, I thought I would share this blog Keepin’ it Reo on Twitter from Te Mihinga Komene. Te Mihinga shares how she uses #tereo and twitter. Her ideas can be easily used in the classroom and shared. Here are some:

• Learn a new word or phrase in te reo Māori and match it with an image that best encapsulates its meaning.

• Rotarota Kūkara #googlepoetry by typing the first two words of a common sentence structure into Google search and see what te reo Māori poetry magic it creates.

The kaupapa for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2015 is ‘Whāngaihia te reo Māori ki ngā mātua.’ The aim is to encourage and support the language development of parents who can then whāngai the language to their children.
