(D2) How do I get macrons on to my keyboard?

I know how to get macrons into a word document by inserting a symbol but I can't use that in myPortfolio unless I want to write a Word Doc and then copy and paste.  This is one way to do it but is not transferable to other documents and could be labour intensive.  I also think a visual will be helpful to develop firstly so I can remember how to do it and also as it may be helpful for others to use.
Here is an article I found:
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/maori-language-week/96716977/its-mori-language-week--heres-how-to-install-macrons-so-you-can-get-involved 

 This article proved unhelpful as I couldn't actually follow it!

 I googled again and found some instructions:
http://otago.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2080/~/m%C4%81ori-keyboard
This proved much more helpful and, after restarting, I can make macrons...māori.  Yay!

Fits in with NZ Disability Strategy  NZ Disability where it  discusses making sure there is the right evidence at the right time to inform decisions.  In fact, it says this is critical.  Discussing, planning, problem-solving, debating, sharing and inquiring are the same skills that are needed when practicing together. Definitions: IPL - Interprofessional Learning - overarching term' includes IPE (Interprofessional Education) and IPP (Interprofessional Practice).

bicultural approach to working with students who present with challenging behaviour, incorporates Māori and Western concepts and values, core concept is is aroha in all its aspects (compassion, empathy, responsiveness and concern), This is a table I made of the 7 domains (sorry it is hard to read!). I am going to use this as a basis for a checklist type resource to use with a teacher for a case I am working. References: Macfarlane, A., Glynn, T., Cavanagh, T., & Bateman, S. (2007).
