Changes in Practice.

REFLECTIVE PRACTICE AND CHANGES IN PRACTICE 

Ko māua ko tētahi o āku hoa ngā whakamutunga mo te mahi Mindlab.  Kua ea katoa ngā mahi a o māua hoamahi, ā, ka mihi atu ki a rātau, ka tika.  I te wā o te Kirihimate, kua rīhaina tō mātau hoa a rōpū mo Mindalb.  Kare i oti tā mātau Literature Review, ka haere te wā ka oti, engari he tūreiti.  Nā, kāre māua ko taku hoa i tino pirangi te whakatūtuki i ngā mahi toenga.  Ka puta mai ko te taumahatanga. 

I tēnei tau ka whai tūnga hou wau hei tūmuaki tuarua , ā, i whāi māramatangaki ngā āhuatanga o tēnei mahi āku.  Ko wau hoki te kaiwhakahaere o te tīma whutupāoro mo te karapū o Wharekāhika. He kaiāwhina wau mo tā mātau rōpū kapa haka e whakataetae ana ā te Mei.  Kei roto nei wau i te kōmiti whakahaere ki te whakatū me te manaaki i ngā kura ki te whakataetae mo Ngā Manu Kōrero me te whakataetae kapa haka o Te Tairāwhiti me Tūranga-nui-ā-Kiwa. Ka whakaako tonu wau i āku karaehe katoa mo te Reo Māori tau 9 ki te 13. Ka whakaako wau i te maara kai i te taha o tētahi koroua i whakatipu ai i ngā taonga tuku iho ā koro mā, ā kuia mā. Ka whakarite awau i taku haerenga ki rāwāhi mo te whakanui i te 100 tau ki muri mo te pakanga o Arras ki Pari me Belgium. Tū atu i ngā mahi katoa nei ko te Mindlab, kua tata wau ki te whakamutu.  Ko tēnei taku aromatawai whakamutunga mo Mindlab.  Ahakoa he nui āku mahi i tēnei wa, nā te pononga me te tautoko o aku hoamahi i Rerekohu o roto o Minlab, kua tata wau ki te whakaoti katoa i āku mahi mo Mindlab.

Ki wau nei, kare i te pai te whakamahi Mindlab mai i July ki nāianei.  Ka whakamahi mātau mo Mindlab i te wa o nga whakamatautau whakamutunga mo ngā aromatawai-ā-waho mo te NCEA.  Kāre he pai hoki te whakatā i te wā o te kirihimete, o te whānau, o te hararei.  Kua roa te wehenga o mātau i a mātau, kua roa hoki te kore mahi ngātahi, te korero a kanohi, rānei.  Me tīmata i te tīmatanga o te tau hou.

Ka noho au ka whakaaro noa.  He rawe te whakamahi i te Mindlab.  Kua āwhinatia mātau e Mindlab te whakahirahiratanga mo te 21^st Century Leaning. I ohorere rawa katoa mātau ki ngā painga hei oranga mā ngā kura mahita me ngā tamariki.  Ko te mea anō hoki ko a mātau mahi, he hōhonu te  mahi tahi, he akiaki i ā mātau hoa, he noho tahi, he korero tahi, he mahi tahi, he kai tahi, he hoa tahi.  Nā te Mindlab ērā katoa i tuitui ai mātau hei oranga mo ā mātau tamariki.  To be 'connected' is the number one necessary thing to be a 21st century educator. (Cassidy, 2013).  Me 21^st Century tātau ko ngā kura mahita.  Ka kitea ngā painga i roto i ngā karaehe katoa i tēnei wā, kei te kamakama haere ngā tamariki ki ā mātau mahi i ahu mai i Mindlab.

E rua āku tīnihanga i tāku mahi hei kura mahita e ai ki te Practising Teacher Criteria (PTC) in e-learning. He nui ngā tīnihanga pai. Engari kua riro te Criterion 1-4 nā te mahi i ngā kaupapa katoa me te haere ki ngā hui ki Te Wai Ū i Ruatoria i ia Wenerei mo ngā wiki 16 mo te whā hāora.  Ko te mea nui kia u tonu mātau ngā kura mahita ki ngā mahi pai i te taha o ā mātau tamariki i ngā wā katoa. Kia tukua ngā rawa kia ngawari, kia koa hoki te mahi i ngā kauapap a te Mindlab.

Kua whai oranga anō mātau katoa i roto i tēnei mahi, ko te whakaako tamariki i roto i te 21^st Century.  Kua noho tata mātau nā te Mindlab.  He pai te wairua i roto i a mātau i whakamahia te Mindlab.  Kei te mōhio wau, he koa ā mātau tamariki. 

Hei whakakapinga, ka mihi ki a koe Tim, nāu rā mātau i tau ai ki ngā mahi o Mindlab, July 2016.
