Class On air .mp4Kia ora and welcome to my Manaiakalani Google Class OnAir site.
This is my third year teaching in a Digital learning environment. I work at Park Estate School in Papakura which is part of Kootuitui ki Papakura; a Manaiakalani outreach programme.
I teach 28, Year 4, 5 & 6 learners who all have their very own Google Chrome books as their learning tool.
In my class I teach small groups and target specific learning gaps that students have. My groups are fluid and often change as they are needs based.
This year I will be focusing on using the Science Curriculum and Digital Technologies to accelerate achievement in Literacy.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
