Technology and innovation in Indigenous Education

Points that stood out to me. All good so far,

Note: funny how our technology is not working for us today😊

This is one of the down sides of technology.

So far what we covered on Technology and innovation in Indigenous education has really caught my interest. I’ll be honest though – I feel conflicted about all the tech and cell phone, and the social media. I see the advantages, sometimes if feels like it keeps me at a distance, but other times it’s an incredible useful tool.  

I think, as mentioned earlier today, there’s so much more information and knowledge we can share.

At the same time, it feels like our privacy is being invaded, we constantly being watched and analyzed in everything we do. I enjoyed the part in the video that talked about a more holistic approach for teaching and learning. If a student doesn’t like or needs a certain subject at the moment in their life, they can move on and learn something else. Eventually, I believe they’ll come back to the courses or training they’ll need when the time is right for them.

I feel the wholistic way of teaching in learning would be my approach and I would have loved to have been in school this way.

In some ways I have been taught holistically, in the ways of our teachings, culture and way of living from a child, youth, adult and well to becoming an elder- everyday no matter how old we get we learn or teach.

Pending on individual careers they could always return to school or search out what they’ll need to move forward in college, university and our real work life.

I feel a holistic approach to teaching and learning is my best way, and I wish school and had been like this when I was growing up.

In some ways, I’ve experienced holistic learning through our teachings, culture, and way of life, from childhood to adulthood, and now as I move forward, becoming a teacher. No matter what our age, we’re always learning or teaching. Depending on our careers, we can always return to school or look for what we need to move forward in college, university, or real-life work, trades and or careers.

The Mountains are my bones, The rivers are my veins, The forest are my thoughts, and the stars are my dreams, the ocean is my heart, its pounding is my pulse, The songs of the earth write the music of my soul! v

No interest in school at all – What’s going on

She’s just not interested.

Maybe it’s part of building personality – she will get it later.  

Is school really necessary, or is that just what we’re told?

Even after all that education, finding work can be tough. Take a lesser paying job sill you find the job that you got your education for.

Is it a lie, the need to go to school and college or university

Can’t find work after all the education

Technology changes everything around 1997.

Chest player no longer the best chest player – AI beat him- big shift

Watson, AI, and digital knowledge are taking over.

Ken Jennings – felt that he could beat the computers, and win,

Computers struggle connecting the dots like people do.  

Who came up with the idea for these questions and the meanings?

New type of education talked about as far back as 1843.

Ages 7-14 were seen more fit, more organized.  

Age, ability were big factors

The committee of ten

The committee of ten made the 1892 curriculum – it hasn’t really changed since
