 * 2.4 Using ICT's to develop expert Maori role models and Maori pedagogical practices such as Karakia, local moteatea, waiata.**
 * Using ICT's to develop in all languages.**

[]
 * 2.4 Students initiating correct protocols at appropriate times.**

TINI: In learning protocols and procedures eg. videoed expert models working with students and then used to refer to in subsequent practice sessions. While visiting and staying on Marae student performances, whaikorero, waiata and activities. We enlisted the assistance of the RTLB's from Gisborne who used video and IWB extensively in their learning around protocols and procedures. In kapa haka used video and photos to record and reflect learning. Students used these in their e-portfolio's to share with whanau. We also took video of visiting experts to use and reuse throughout the learning. Through the VLN made a focus on value of learning Te Reo. Encourage the development of good relationships - working with engaging media, communicating with students via email, skype etc.

WSS: My work in this area has impacted on other schools as we have developed high level Kapa Haka skills. We have utilised wiki and ICT applications to communicate, share, complete forms, problem solve amongst our parent community and teachers. I shared wiki skills with one of my teacher trainees and she has again shared this and now the students are putting their skills into action supporting students and teachers through out the Tairawhiti. Our parent Kapa haka wiki is an example of this. It has information pages for the parents, and activities for the students. Within my class we have been writing descriptions this term and the children have enjoyed viewing you tube clips showing peacocks

WOK: We have been enrolled our senior Maori students in the VLN to work on Te Reo. ICT has given our Maori students the opportunity to become the "experts or technical assistants" for other students in our school. The junior classroom were fortunate to have a student teacher from Te Wananga O Aotearoa who helped the students construct a Maori Hangi, and photos were taken. The student also took whole school fitness songs using Maori language.

WSS: Our school has worked with the RTLB based around the kaupapa "Identity" Who we are and where we come from. Within this unit tamariki were able to research their Whakapapa and research a role model figure within their whanau. This was then presented to the school community and wider community via the Living Heritage website. The second teacher at the school was part of the VLN regarding the teaching of languages online to students from around the Motu - they were taught the basics of Karakia, whakapapa and waiata. One of the school students were also part of the teaching with Koka.

**Students initiating correct protocols has been observed:**
When welcoming people to our school students are able to complete whaikorero and appropriate welcome protocol. Kapa haka rountines are independently remembered and performed at appropriate occasions.

Using correct procedure when welcoming visitors onto the school grounds - whakatau Our school song has our pepeha in it. Children say a Karakia at assemblies, also at the beginning of the day.

Using the Maori version of the National anthem in weekly assemblies. Our school has student teachers from Te Wananga O Aotearoa who use Maori phrases and our students have been following some of these.

Powhiri for a visiting school here on the Station. Karakia at the beginning of the day, before eating and at the end of the day. Waiata at the end of a speech.
