Staff Meetings

Each term we engage with teaching staff to deepen understanding of The Manaiakalani Programme. We focus on our pedagogy of Learn, Create, Share and Cybersmart.

Term 4 Staff Meeting CYBERSMART

Cybersmart Continuum

(Pt England School 2012)

Manaiakalani: Being Cybersmart

Being Cybersmart

Cybersmart learning is embedded in our learn, create, share pedagogy placing our young people at the very centre of their learning.

Being Cybersmart empowers our learners as connected digital citizens. When their learning is visible and accessible, anytime, any place, at any pace, our young people learn to make smart decisions and understand that every time they connect, collaborate and share online it combines to create their digital footprint.

Go here to find guides and supports for teachers and learners on being Cybersmart.
