Wiki 20-Choosing a topic for your teacher inquiry

Topic Area
Blended learning models and student engagement

I would like to focus on a blended learning model and how that impacts on student engagement.

I te mea he kohungahunga tonu rātou (5y.o), ka whai mātou i te Station Rotation Model kia āhei te kaiako te whakaatu me te whakatauira i tētahi pūkenga. Ko te wāhanga i runga i te ipurangi ko te ngohe i whakaritea ki Seesaw, ā, koia hoki te mahi motuhake e hāngai ana ki te tamaiti. 2. I te tīmatanga o te panonitanga i te akomanga, i te tino hiamo au ki ngā mahi me te wero. I kaha whakarite au i ngā āhuatanga o te akomanga rautau 21 pērā i te taiao  o te akomanga- kia whai wāhi ngā ākonga te mahi tahi (collaboration), me te whakawhiti kōrero ki ētahi atu (skilled communication).
