Reo Māori - supporting continued learning
Great news! We have added more features to your account.
Each participant in the Māori Language Movement now has a profile page. A profile records the moments you’ve taken part in and the content you’ve shared to our website in the past. This is for you to measure your progress and for us to help support your reo journey.
There are two types of profile pages: Individuals and Groups.
Takitahi - Individual profiles
Anyone who signs up on our website will have a profile page to record their participation.
- You can update your own information and control what is shown on your profile, or hide it completely
- Any content you upload will appear on your profile, if you choose
- You can connect to a Group page to show association and share content to your workplace, school, or group
Takitini - Group pages
Group pages are for organisations, friends, whānau, schools, clubs - any grouping of people to collectively display their participation. Any individual can connect to a group. Once connected, you can share your moments to the group page and also show your connected groups on your own profile page. The person who creates the group will become the sole Admin for the page. The Admin can assign editors to help with the management of the page.
The Admin of a group page can:
- Assign/remove editors
- Edit page information
- Moderate posts
An Editor of a group page can
