Kaitiaki iPad App is Preserving Maori Culture with Gamification
Game based learning is taking a specialized cultural approach with a new app designed to “engage and educate New Zealand School children.”
Acording to tangatawhenua.com (Maori News & Indiginous Views):
New Zealand has one of the highest proportions of disengaged students of any OECD country. The majority of students in low decile schools are Maori and are more likely to leave school educationally disadvantaged.
It has been proposed that an accelerated roll-out of e-learning to schools and improving the school-to-work transition may reduce youth unemployment and the resulting social issues.
