Let&#39;s see what&#39;s still out there.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;I&#39;ve just completed the &lt;b&gt;MITx: 11.127x: Design and Development of Games for Learning&lt;/b&gt; through the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.edx.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;edx platform&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and one of the fabulously helpful things that we learnt about was how to quickly go through the best educational games that are available online.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, here goes. The following list are the sites I would highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring their options around games in the classroom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Institute of Play is focused on preparing students for the new global environment through games, game-design and cooperative play. They have developed fantastic games such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instituteofplay.org/work/projects/gamestar-mechanic/&quot;&gt;GameStar Mechanic&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(which has free and premium access levels), although all of their projects are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instituteofplay.org/work/#the-fw-main-header&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(including things such as print and play games that teach maths and socratic thinking, quest schools and more).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Common sense education is a group that focuses on digital citizenship. This site is free to register. The three main games are: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.commonsense.org/education/digital-passport&quot;&gt;Digital Passport&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.commonsense.org/education/digital-compass&quot;&gt;Digital Compass&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.commonsense.org/education/digital-connections&quot;&gt;Digital Connections&lt;/a&gt;. There are also sections exploring teaching strategies, Professional Development and an extensive searchable collection of rated apps, ordered by curriculum area, essential skills and some have lesson plans. There is a clear indication whether they are referring to a free or paid resource. I find it an incredibly useful site - Here&#39;s a link to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.commonsense.org/education&quot;&gt;Educators&#39; section&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Teach with Portals focuses on the game Portal (which is available for free on Steam to educators - &lt;a href=&quot;http://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Portal_2_-_Educational_Version&quot;&gt;http://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Portal_2_-_Educational_Version&lt;/a&gt;. The educational version consists of singleplayer mode and the puzzlemaker). There is a range of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.teachwithportals.com/index.php/category/lesson_plans/&quot;&gt;lesson plans&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and also a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.teachwithportals.com/&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; that has some very interesting links to webinars and thinking around games in education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MineCraft EDU is a comprehensive site in terms of preparing you as an educator. It starts from &lt;a href=&quot;http://education.minecraft.net/get-started&quot;&gt;downloading the app&lt;/a&gt;, as an educator, admin or student. There is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://education.minecraft.net/class-resources/starter-kit/&quot;&gt;starter kit&lt;/a&gt;, a range of &lt;a href=&quot;https://education.minecraft.net/class-resources/trainings/&quot;&gt;training materials&lt;/a&gt;, a collection of &lt;a href=&quot;https://education.minecraft.net/class-resources/lessons/&quot;&gt;lesson plans&lt;/a&gt; from primary (elementary) through to secondary level, and a collection of &lt;a href=&quot;https://education.minecraft.net/class-resources/worlds/&quot;&gt;starter worlds&lt;/a&gt; for use in the classroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lure of the Labyrinth is no more, but Thinkport has &lt;a href=&quot;https://thinkport.org/learning-resources-overview.html&quot;&gt;a range of other games that they share here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Playful Learning was sponsored by The Learning Network and is based in Massachussetts. It is no more =(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Educade&amp;nbsp;is no more that I can see, but here is a review by Edshelf -&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://edshelf.com/tool/educade/&quot;&gt;https://edshelf.com/tool/educade/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not bad! Only 3/7 were no longer available. Eight years ago was practically an internet life-time!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The
only sound that filled the area&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;was
my footsteps.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I
was strolling in an isolated place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;gautami&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;And
finally, in front of me.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

should I say.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;It
was a man,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;a
strange man.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Tall&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;really
tall.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;And

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;he
was wearing a bright blue necklace.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;And
mysterious.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The
man&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;waving
at me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;gautami&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;“I’m
here to get you, Elena.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I
found myself sitting on the bed, breathing heavily. I touched my face carefully
with two fingers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I
tried to be calm and turned my head to the digital-clock beside my bed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;06:44
AM.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Something
was wrong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;gautami&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I
shook my head a few times to be sure that I was awake and jumped down from the
bed, stepped into the bathroom and washed myself, and finally walked towards
the kitchen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Something
was totally wrong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;gautami&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I
quickly made breakfast and sat down in front of the television, switching to
the news.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;[Hey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;gautami&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Elena&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;gautami&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;]&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The
house echoed the sound of my swallowing and biting.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I
put my hand in my pocket&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;and
slowly brought out a thing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;A
shiny thing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The
bright blue necklace.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;It
was found in my pocket this morning,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;but
it wasn’t there last night.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I
turned my head&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

stare at the calendar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;What
a miserable day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

was Emily, Elena’s best friend and the only person in the world who Elena
trusted.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Emily
was very sensitive with people around her, especially Elena.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

lied. She didn’t want Emily to get worried about her.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

wasn’t listening. She was thinking about the nightmare, the necklace and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;gautami&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;shadowsintolight&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;the

Tick, tack.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #313131; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #313131; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
A tear dropped across a young girl&#39;s face and seeped into the dark soil. She touched the trunk of a tall tree and whimpered: “ Gin, I am missing you again. Don’t leave me alone…I need you. ”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #313131; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #313131; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
That summer night led to the endless sadness.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #313131; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #313131; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
This happened 15 years ago, when 7-year-old Mayo was still a primary school student.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The air was filled with humid and congealed warmth. The sooty cicadas were singing and chirping ceaselessly on the sycamore tree. The incandescent sunlight shone through the lavender chiffon curtain onto Mayo’s tender face. She rubbed her drowsy eyes for a while and yawned, stretching her arms with great ease.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
It was summer vacation. Every summer Mayo would stay at her grandpa’s cottage far from the bustling city centre. After having a nap, she quickly dressed and put on her tiny sandals without even checking their color. Mayo couldn’t wait to see her special friend—Gin, the fairy fox who lives in the deep forest.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Mayo ran agilely all the way down towards the field with excitement. The little flushing stream of bubbling crystal clear water wet her white dress, leaving the unique summer imprint on her body. The luxuriant foliage tree leaves floated with the wind and sent off a hearty laugh as if they were greeting her. Once again, Mayo stood in front of this forest.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
She still remembered clearly the first time when she got lost in the deep forest during her random bush walk. At that time, Mayo was too scared to move even a bit and she could feel some mysterious spirits were coming along upon her. She attempted to cry out and shout but something blocked her throat so that she couldn’t even make any noise. Mayo could feel herself being devoured by the horrible darkness. There was only noisy silence in her world, and gradually, she lost consciousness.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Mayo had a messy and disordered dream, she subtly perceived she was surrounded by a large golden fireball that had a surprisingly comfortable temperature. Now wondering how long the time had flowed on for, she finally woke up. A boy whose face was covered with a smiling fox mask came into her sight. He looked like a human, except that he had a pair of fluffy ears and a silver brushy tail.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ Ahh…my arm hurts! What happened…and…where am I ? ” Bella had too many questions to ask. She hesitated for a while, and then looked the guy up and down carefully. “ Who are you? ”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The human-like boy did not reply. He kept staring at the sunset patiently. Mayo couldn’t tell what he was thinking about or what kind of facial expression he had, or even, what he looked like. However, she noticed that there was some slightly golden rays illuminating from the two eye holes of the fox mask, feeling so familiar. Mayo stood up. S市he was curious of the hairy tail and tried to grab that big toy.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ Don’t touch me. ” The boy avoided Mayo’s hand swiftly and jumped aside. His silver hair gently hung down over his shoulder.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“Are you the person who saved me? ”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ Are you a goblin? ”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ Where do you live? ”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
…….&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ You may consider the person was me. ” He answered softly. “Now, quickly go home and stay with your family. Never come to this forest again. It’s a dangerous place and you humans are not allowed to enter in.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ I know it was you! You saved my life. May I come and bring you a gift to thank you? ” Mayo said in a delightful voice.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ You need to forget about everything including me. I will show you the right way home.” The fox mask smiled at her.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“Wait! You haven’t answered my questions! Please! At least tell me your name! ” Mayo was unable to contain her emotion any longer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The boy disappeared.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ My name is, Gin— ” his voice haunted around Mayo’s head, setting off the mere ripples, deeply down to her innermost.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ Gin, Mr Gin…” For the moment Mayo was still immersed in the conversation and recalling hard her miraculous experience, she discovered herself standing right in front of her Grandpa’s cottage.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ He must be the spirit of the forest. I wish he could be there next time I visit.” Mayo kept her fingers crossed. “ My lord, let me meet him again. ”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The next day, Mayo went alone to the deep forest. She made some delicious pancakes and wrapped them into a handkerchief. She was eager to meet Gin again and she devoutly hoped Gin would appreciate her handmade desserts. Gin was like magic, strangely attracting to her. There, Gin suddenly came into her sight unprepared, gripping a smooth tree branch. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ Hold this and follow me. Do not get lost. And be careful not to touch me in any which way. If I made a body contact with a human,” Gin paused，“I would disappear forever. ”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ Sure! ” Mayo cried out happily. “ Thank you, Gin. Thank you for waiting for me. I thought you would be away and I would never find you again. ”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ As you wish. I will stay. Come with me, I will show you something.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The two shadows moved quietly under the emerald and unimaginable world. The unknown creatures were slowly crawling on one side of the road, heading towards nowhere. Gin used the stick as his hand and led Mayo to see the wonders in the magical forest for fun. Mayo was deeply impressed by this place full of impossibility and almost cried out.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ Aren’t you afraid of me? ” Gin crooned.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“ What do you mean? You are not scary at all.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
This is the beginning of the story between Mayo and Gin, human and spirit. From that time, Mayo couldn’t help but look forward to the summer vacation as well as to think about Gin. As soon as the holiday came, she would first go to the small cottage and tell Gin what had happened at school or in the family, how the teacher treated her, how many friends she had made and so on. She could spend a whole week talking about that trivial stuff. And every time, Gin would watch her quietly and only commented after she had finished her long speech. These days were tranquil and peaceful that later Mayo wished to stay forever in that moment of time.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“I won’t meet you tomorrow… the school is going to start. I will see you next year.” Mayo said regretfully. She sat on the rock and had a big bite of the golden pancake with chocolate and hazelnut jam. The refreshing water continuously washed her pretty feet. She was no longer a child. She understood how to make herself more beautiful and paid attention to the dressing as well.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“I will wait for you. I promise.” A melting and magnetic voice flowed over.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“I wish I could give you a hug. I wish I could always be with you.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“So do I…but sorry, I can’t.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“That’s alright, I understand.” Mayo replied with a big smile. “It doesn&#39;t matter if I can’t touch or hug you, it only matters whether I can still see you and talk to you. Thank you for accompanying with me this summer, Gin.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The forest contained the most hidden secrets and preserved the best memories of Mayo’s childhood. Day after day, year after year. Nobody ever knew, nobody ever came. The flowers blossomed and wilted, the trees grew taller, the stream elongated and the new replaced the old. Mayo’s body shape also changed slightly with each passing day. She became a graceful girl.The only thing that didn’t change at all was the cloister that only belonged to Mayo and Gin. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Mayo firmly believed they could maintain the relationship till the end of the world. That was  because they knew they were in each other’s hearts long since. But nothing was everlasting. The fate, that of the death of a mermaid, happened to Gin unexpectedly.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Finally when Gin had no choice but to return to the spirit world, he told Mayo it was time to go.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“Thanks Mayo, I enjoyed our time being together. You gave me happiness but I have to leave now and I wish you a nice future. You are not a child any longer. You need to find your own friends, make up your own choices and decide your own future.” Gin told her calmly.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“No…no. You said that you will live in this forest forever! You cannot go like that!” Mayo shouted aloud but she suddenly found that Gin was disappearing. She burst into tears.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“Don’t cry, Mayo. You should have understood that I wasn’t a human. This is my ending and you know, there is a barrier between human and spirit. This is the rule. You can’t break the rule.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Gin was not surprised to watch the demise of his hands, turning into little epoptic fireflies and slowly disappearing in the summer night. He suddenly grinned, he said towards Mayo excitedly: “Come on Mayo! I can finally give you a hug! Be brave!” &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Gin turned into countless pieces, even the last bit of little fireflies vanished from her hand, nothing was left except the fox mask. Mayo’s embracement was palely hollow. She kept that position, for a long, long time……&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Although Gin did not exist in the human world, the summer afterwards needed to arrive. Mayo stayed at her Grandpa’s cottage as usual. She carried a basket of pancakes and sat in front of the rocky road of the forest alone, waiting for the boy with silver hair that would never appear again.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Mayo leaned on the tree. She broke into tears but laughed at the same time, feeling relieved. She held the fox mask and recalled the invaluable time spent with Gin. Beside her ear, it seemed to be the last voice of Gin, remaining so true. The wind from the forest blew up her white one piece. She smiled and left.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“And now, I’m just not surprised when people leave. I’m actually more surprised when they stay since everyone is going to leave me eventually, sooner or later. So I have to stay strong, to work hard and to live alone. My life needs to carry on because I know Gin is somewhere in the world watching me and providing me with strength and encouragement. He will stay with me forever, like he promised.”&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I thought I would do a quick search for information about Pakuranga. I used the keywords &quot;iwi Maori and myths Pakuranga&quot; and have only shared links I found on the first page... I came up with the following (books are available from National Library):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&amp;amp;objectid=10348535&quot;&gt;http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&amp;amp;objectid=10348535&lt;/a&gt; (Hidden history of Pakuranga - 2005 news article - talking about a Pakuranga Walk/Hīkoi Pakuranga. Gives iwi/marae/people contacts and keywords for side-searches)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tetahawai.org.nz/&quot;&gt;http://tetahawai.org.nz/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Te Tahawai Marae is in Edgewater.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tetuhi.org.nz/&quot;&gt;http://www.tetuhi.org.nz/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Te Tuhi Art Gallery is based in Pakuranga. Although the schools&#39; programme has nothing obvious in there, it could be an avenue. The &#39;About&#39; page has some information about Ngai Tai and the meaning behind their name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/mpp/electorates/data/DBHOH_Lib_EP_Pakuranga_People/pakuranga-people&quot;&gt;http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/mpp/electorates/data/DBHOH_Lib_EP_Pakuranga_People/pakuranga-people&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- NZ Parliament Statistics for Pakuranga electorate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 30px;&quot;&gt;I think the most important thing when researching online is to start general and use the information you get from your first search to refine. From here, I would use keywords like &quot;Ngai Tai and Manawatere&quot; to refine my results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I would love feedback on this idea for Charades - Whakatinana. What do you think of layout? Categories? Any strengths? What needs to be improved? One of the firsts would be tohu tō - at the stage I started this draft, it was harder to get tohu tō working properly?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch with me... I&#39;d love to get this going.&lt;br /&gt;

and past technology, as there is a range of educational technologies that have
excited and engaged me, as a learner. I decided to focus on one of my passions,
which is stories. As an educator today, I believe that one of the most
challenging processes taught in the classroom is writing and that successful
writers have spent much more time reading books than those who struggle with
writing, or those that are labelled ‘reluctant writers’.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

old, my mother started ordering a fortnightly installment of the &lt;i&gt;Marshall Cavendish Storyteller &lt;/i&gt;collection.
I devoured the stories and eagerly awaited the next installment. &lt;a href=&quot;http://storytellerwebsite.wordpress.com/&quot;&gt;storytellerwebsite.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

intended for primary aged children to be read alone, followed along when the
cassette tapes are played, or read by parents. Each volume contains at least 2
poems, a classic story and 2-3 other stories (that may or may not continue in
the next installment). The magazine format is designed to be collated in a
binder that holds 15 volumes. The key goal is to share classic stories in an
engaging format for children – to expose them to stories and to get them
excited about the world of books.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background: white; margin-bottom: 17pt;&quot;&gt;

key goal. There is a strong community online today of those who grew up with
these stories.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background: white; margin-bottom: 17pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3c3c3c; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: #0481;&quot;&gt;I am unsure if the related goal of
interesting children in writing was unintentional or not, but, as a teacher
today, I am passionate about stories: reading and writing stories for the joy
of telling the story and sharing it with an audience.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

who followed my daughter into the classroom. She learned in a rūmaki reo Māori
classroom (an immersion Māori language class) and there were two large
challenges in meeting my goal of exciting children about reading and writing:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Commission - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/english/issues_e/reo/&quot;&gt;tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/english/issues_e/reo/&lt;/a&gt;),
there are about 50,000 fluent speakers of Māori and about 100,000 more people
that understand the language, with 10,000 less fluent speakers than 10 years
ago and a large base of older speakers, aged 55 and over. With such a niche
language, I found it difficult to utilise online technologies successfully for
writing. How do you build a community for your writing blog for example, when
there are so few potential readers for your blog?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

the revitalisation of Māori language, but this is before the time of today’s
students, most of whom reach the end of their primary school years and are
starting to make the choice to speak English. All of the games and stories that
these students are passionate about are in English and there is no bait that
would make them want to choose Māori as a language they want to speak.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

- I started a blog for my students (9-12 year olds). Once they moved on, I
tried to keep it alive by starting to share some of the translation and some of
the writing that I have done over the years, but, again, there has been minimal
conversations started.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #3c3c3c; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: #0481;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

first blog (called a personal webpage then) appearing in 1994 at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.links.net/vita/&quot;&gt;Links.net&lt;/a&gt; and the term being coined in
1997 by &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorn_Barger&quot;&gt;Jorn Barger&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(see&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2011/03/a-brief-history-of-blogging/&quot;&gt;webdesignerdepot.com/2011/03/a-brief-history-of-blogging/&lt;/a&gt; for more information)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;.

it was one of the key technologies that I identified as being potentially able
to address particularly the second of the two challenges I had identified.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

class was blogging at least once a week, preferably 2-3 times weekly. Even with
emails to parents and other schools with immersion classes didn’t work – I tried
to get us reading each other’s work as part of the SSR (Sustained Silent

open-ended and the product depends on the individual student. I wanted it to be
more than just publishing, so tried to build a sense of drafting and revising,
with students re-visiting pieces, or incorporating media such as flipnotes,
that was relevant to that child.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

audience, that this technology did not meet it’s key goal, that of building a
sense of audience for the students using the platform. The blog has started to
be used in the last couple of years (the stats for slideshare embedded
downloads has shown that, even if there is no dialogue yet, there are people
visiting and using the site).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

they both involve sharing stories and divergent, in that the user of the blog
is producing content, while the Storyteller user is consuming content.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

When we explored the idea of Holi, for example, we danced to popular Bollywood music around the theme and we held our own mini Holi festival on the Friday.&lt;br /&gt;
