Kura Wikispace

What is this?

An online space that was born out of a need to....

enable all kaiako to access PD (reporting back docs) at their leisure, off any platform, anywhere, anyhow, anytime!

enable all kaiako to view each others weekly Mahi Kainga and gauge where their own leveling was placed

enable all kaiako to view each others weekly PWaea and share knowledge and information with each other

This space has grown exponentially and is now a great

resource repository with all staff as contributors

Intended outcomes

kaiako will be participants and contributors into this online space

content will be user-driven

pages in the wiki will have been sanctioned by kaiako

uniformity will be maintained

the wiki will evolve in to a functioning space as kaiako become more connected with this

digital citizenship learning will unfold as kaiako learn how to navigate in this space, manipulate the material and own the content

Succession planning

as kaiako become more and more comfortable with learning and communicating online, succession will be all users in the space and this keynote presentation being on-shared
