The Manaiakalani pedagogy kaupapa we touched on today was Empowerment. Empowerment is about the advancing of Rangatiratanga taking back control of their own lives. In my opinion "Ko te whakamana tāngata te aronga nui" Empowering people is key.
We explored different platforms of coding which extended my current knowledge in this field. In the beginning I struggled to find a connection with the subjects I currently teach however after getting advice from my peers started using Scratch as a platform to assist my students with pronunciation of kupu Māori.
I look forward to using Scratch more in the classroom.
Kia ora Muritere,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you can see some ways you can use Scratch for learning kupu Māori.
