The Manaiakalani Kawa of Care has been co-constructed between schools and whānau. This agreement covers the responsibilities of students, parents and schools. It ensures that students will get the best use of their device during their time on the programme, and that schools and families understand how they can best care for the devices.
Being Cybersmart provides an authentic context for our young people to connect with the elements of the Kawa of Care as a lived experience.
Cybersmart learning is designed to engage our young people in online behaviour and thinking that elevates positive actions and the use of positive language, digital media and texts.
How are you empowering your learners to connect with elements of the Kawa of Care and responsible use agreement?
We recommend teachers take time to familiarise themselves with the Kawa of Care and identify how best they can empower their learners to make connections with being Cybersmart.
- Take time to familiarise yourself with the elements of the Kawa of Care of your school or cluster.
- Be cognisant of the vocabulary you are using to describe being a cybersmart learner e.g.
- Be consistent when using cybersmart vocabulary and empower your learners to do the same.
- Focus on elevating the positive i.e. korero that describes/highlights what we would see and hear from cybersmart learners.
