Assistive Technology for Māori Students
Assistive technology is the name that is used to describe any technology that can be
used to overcome barriers to learning. There are a wide range of assistive technologies
that have proved useful to Māori students.
The key message of this workshop is that whatever the learning need there is
equipment or an app or a programme that can be used to support Māori students.
If participants know of any good examples, bring them along.
Course Objectives:

to discuss what assistive technologies can assist Māori students

to discuss how assistive technology can be set up in ways that support the learning
of Māori students

to discuss what technology can support the learning of Te Reo

to share experiences and ideas of the value of assistive technology for Māori
students.
