What is a Blended Learning Community?
• opportunities to build and develop on what we know already
• synchronous and asynchronous components
What it is not:Geographically boundDelivery orientated
What it is:It is actively inclusive of all the people who have an interest
in the learners’ development

“Blended learning systems combine face-to-face instruction with computer-mediated instruction”(Graham, p.5, 2006)

A BROfessional
e-Learning Approach
www.tetoitupu.org
A PROfessional way to explain BROfessionalism
• Consider a BROfessional approach when working with Māori learners
• How does it align to ‘Something Māori’?• Ways of our tūpuna
– Use of analogies/parallels– Use of metaphor– Really good story tellers
www.tetoitupu.org
BRO• BRO – Whanaungatanga
– Bro – Whanaunga– Term of endearment– Cuz– Breaking down barriers– Sense of belonging – being part of
www.tetoitupu.org
A BROfessional approach
•B Blending•R Relationships•O Open
www.tetoitupu.org
B Blending• Blending – implies something has to be done• Blend of what?
– Blend of approaches– Blend of strategies– Blend of the good stuff• Me kīnaki – To mix/stir• Me kōmiri – To sort
www.tetoitupu.org
R Relationships
• Establishing relationships
• Receptive - a relationship can not begin without people being receptive
• Links – whanaungatanga / te hononga
www.tetoitupu.org
O Open • Open to ideas• Removing barriers – Being overt • If you give, you give it all/pulling out and putting in• Opens up avenues – Allows access• Acknowledging who your students are - Where &
Who they come from – Not just about the what• Sharing a little about yourself – Why?

Relationships with People
‘It is important to consider the cultural background of children and their parents in relation to how feelings and emotions are
expressed’. (Lisa Terreni and Judi McCallum)
www.tetoitupu.org
Relationships with Time
‘…an understanding about orientation to time is important particularly when
entering into cultural contexts that are different from their own.’
(Lisa Terreni and Judith McCallum)
www.tetoitupu.org
How cultures relate to nature and the different forces created by natural events also determine
certain beliefs and behaviours. (Trompenaars and Hampden
Turner, 1998)
