But since I teach in a "unit district" with students of grades K-12 (ages 5-18) I would also be able to assist you with contacts to people who might be working with you at all ages.<BR/>My high school sophomores have already begun a knowledge base of Maori knowledge spurred by our study of The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera. "Maori from the outside" is found at http://wiki-land.wikispaces.com/Maori+from+the+outside<BR/>Our class blogs are currently all on a wiki: http://wiki-land.wikispaces.com, and for what it's worth, my edu-blog is at http://thewikiness.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Would your classes, or those of Kiwi teachers you know, be interested in piloting some projects with ours? Literacy education can be construed broadly. If not, would you kindly pass along my request to those you know who might be interested?<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much, and happy new year!<BR/><BR/>Andrew Bendelow<BR/>abendelow@gmail.comabendelowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088399932714674377noreply@blogger.com
