Speakers

Pat Snedden - Chairman of the Manaiakalani Trust will be beamed in via the internet from Hastings. Pat will outline the key drivers in the success of the Manaiakalani Project and explain how the Trust structure has been pivotal in enabling and supporting the project. Following on from this, there will be an opportunity to discuss the future direction of the Marlborough Edge Project in light of the lessons learned from Manaiakalani.

John Fenaughty - Research Manager at CORE Education and an expert in mixed methodological approaches. He has conducted a number of large research projects, and now focuses on research that advances e-Learning outcomes and developing schools as positive social environments. Prior to joining CORE, John was the Research Manager at NetSafe – New Zealand’s cybersafety organisation. Underpinning his work is a strong understanding of the concepts of, and strategies for promoting, digital citizenship – life-long learners who are equipped to manage challenges, flourish, and build digital lives they are proud of.
