  • Cultural Capital: How the background you come from influences how you read and deal with certain situations

  • Multi Modal - hooking learners into learning and empowering them so they are confident and successful

  • Multi Modal - All about communicating information from one person to another

  • Manaiakalani Priority Goals/Principles: engagement, personalised learning, acceleration, empowerment

  • Giving them the skills to be a lifelong learner as they have the ability to access learning online - setting them up for life.

  • Process of learning need to be exciting and captivating!

  • Learners who are behaviourally engaged, excited and involved

  • Site design: accelerating learning and progress, where students can be challenged and extend themselves

  • If we can expose students to texts online, we are helping them be able to critically think and make their own judgments/take responsibility to drive their own learning

  • Behavioural engagement (access - blogs, chromebooks, realising they have a voice, can be acknowledged, can share their learning) - Cognitive engagement (providing resources and a space where students are appropriately challenged).
