About me
I am Principal of Te Karaka Area School. We are a new school that has been in operation since the beginning of 2011, situated North West of Gisborne towards Opotiki. We have 230 tamariki ranging from Year 1 right through to Year 13.
As a school we are trying to do things differently than the more traditional approaches. We are constantly searching for ways to engage our learners in authentic learning- right through to our Year 13 students.
We are exploring ways of truly engaging Maori students ad 96% of our students are Maori.
Kia ora Kayrn, great to 'see' you online, it's been a while! Thank you for joining the Central North | Leading Effective e-Learning group. It is envisioned that these groups will become a central hub for a community of like-minded educators - focused on growing e-learning leadership, to impact change for our priority learners.
You might like to take a few moments to introduce yourself, tell us where you're from, share a photo or perhaps your mihi in this thread [/discussion/view/827581].
You might also be interested in conversations about 'what makes an e-learning leader' [/discussion/view/835077]. We'd love to hear your views.
These are great ways to establish and connect a community online, so we'd love to hear from you. Ngā mihi nui, Tess :-)
Kia ora and welcome to ALL the e-Learning groups, Karyn!:-) Your experience and expertise will be valuable - and I hope our growing community can support your learning, too. You might also be keen to look at our weekly e-learning round-up [/pg/profile/Enabling.eLearning] :-) Look forward to working with you. Ngā mihi nui, nā Karen.
Kia ora Karyn. Have enjoyed meeting with you today. Well done with starting to create your profile and presence in the VLN. Enjoy and go well :-)
