The Bayfield Digi Digest #3

Introducing.......
Kia Takatū ā-Matihiko - the National Digital Readiness programme launched last Friday by the Ministry of Education. Developed to ensure teachers and kaiako are ready to implement the new digital technologies content. Including experts and resources from CORE Education, Open Polytechnic and Canterbury Uni, online toolkits and videos to help us gain more confidence in delivering new curriculum content.
 We encourage you to sign in and have a look around the site. There are heaps of great ideas to use in your learning spaces, particularly with next terms science/digital inquiry in mind!

An example of which is this cool Pixel Value Interactive which explains the colour behind pixels. Pixel Interactive  RGB Mixer
The programme is inspired by the legend of Māui, his kuia Mahuika, and how the source of fire was discovered.
Māui was curious, brave, determined and had a great desire for things to work a bit better. #belikeMāui
Mahuika was reflective, patient and insightful. #belikeMahuika
These are characteristics that the ministry is encouraging teachers throughout Aotearoa to use to help ignite the future of all our tamariki so they can become creators and innovators of digital technologies, not just users.
