We're underway with the first online DFI cohort for 2021 and what a fantastic group of teachers, principals and deputy principals we have on board. Sixty-eight educators from around the country will be meeting each Wednesday for the next 8 weeks to learn about the Manaiakalani pedagogy; Learn, Create, Share. We'll also cover all the apps from the Google Education Suite supported by the pedagogy for why, how and when to use them. I'd like to wish everyone in our cohort a very warm welcome, especially to the wonderful group in my digital bubble. I'm looking forward to working alongside you over the coming weeks.
The origins of the Manaiakalani programme started back in 2006 at Point England School. Thirteen more schools in East Tamaki joined Point England School and formed the Manaiakalani cluster. The success of this first cluster spearheaded the development of the Manaiakalani Outreach and five more clusters. In 2021, the Manaiakalani programme is delivered in11 clusters worldwide, including one virtual cluster. Over 100 schools are represented in the 11 clusters, including 23,000 learners in primary and secondary schools. It's an exciting time to be involved.
A wonderful bogging site, Kerry. Kei reira. I still have a lot to learn about making my site more visually 'sharp' and professional looking - like yours. Thanks for your guidance.
