About this app

Rongo-i-te-kai is an educational resource that shares an authentic Māori story of traditional life told in the unique Ngāti Porou dialect

Rongo-ite-kai was a formative ancestor for the Ngāti Porou hapū residing at the foot of Mount Hikurangi on the East Coast of New Zealand.

The App brings to life the story of a successful Māori leader who helped create the conditions for innovation and success among his descendants.

Interactivity has been used to create an immersive experience with an original, image-rich narrative.

Features include:
- Narration in te reo Māori perfectly synchronised with text
- Swipe to Read, Tap to Spell and Read aloud functions.
- Subordinate narration and text in English that can be toggled to access
- A record yourself function that enables readers to record their own or whānau narration, and overlay it in the app.
- Animated videos.

Notes for teachers that are accessible inside the App include support on curriculum links, learning activities, vocabulary, a list of further resources available, and references.

Rongo-i-te-kai was developed through the Ministry’s Te Aho Ngārahu fund. Te Aho Ngārahu was established in 2017 as an initiative to improve the access to quality te reo Māori localised curriculum resources to support ākonga, kaiako and Kāhui Ako learning in and through te reo Māori in both Māori medium and English medium settings.

This App was produced by world leading Cultural Services agency Kiwa Digital. For more www.kiwadigital.com
