[Elaine]

Kia ora and hello, welcome to the Hope, uncertainty and the work of educational change discussion forum,

We are thrilled to have had a large group of image submissions such that we have had to divide them into three groups. I will be facilitating this group. So welcome, Charlotte, Claudia, Dalia, Isha, Radha, Eiman and Bareera, Emily, Franka, Himali, Lauren, Liztie, Mifrah, Nadia, Rachel Phelps, Rachel Winslow, Sam, Samantha, Sri and Çağatay

My name is Elaine and I am an academic staff at the Institute of Education, at Massey University and also part of the Hope Collective (see: https://www.massey.ac.nz/about/colleges-schools-and-institutes/college-of-humanities-and-social-sciences/research-in-the-college-of-humanities-and-social-sciences/people-environment-and-planning-research/hope-in-higher-education/).

My teaching and research area is in digital pedagogies and I have had the privilege of collaborating with educators across different educational levels to enhance digitally-supported teaching and learning practices.

As we kick off the discussions for this page, do take time to explore the different images and reflections submitted by fellow presenters. Each one is unique with rich insights into different one’s views and experiences. You are welcome to begin a new discussion forum or comment to an existing forum.

Please do read our participant information and shared commitments (see: https://perc.ac.nz/wordpress/pedagogies-of-hope-participant-information/).
This represents our shared commitments to Equity, Inclusion & Diversity; Respect & Care; and Learning, Co-creation & Growth. Please do treat this forum like you would a panel discussion at a conference – recognising that we are vulnerable in sharing our contributions and have much to learn from each other.

Welcome once again,
Elaine
