Jackie's Tribute Blog

Jackie Isaac, a young student of ours from the village of Kasigluk, lost

both his grandparents last year.  Being very close to them, this was

devastating for Jackie and his family.  Jackie had a tough time of

it...missed his semester of classes through absence and  I had thoughts

that Jackie wouldn't make it back to the college.

Jackie has since been back to college and has been thriving...his

declaration for an ITS degree is 'right on' and he likes computers and the

work he does. This semester we taught Jackie how to blog, CIOS 275 'Using the

Internet'... He has paid tribute to his late grandparents through his interests and

study:  Look here, this is significant from a cultural perspective:

(his personal written tribute and he has podcasted their music...a large part of their lives)

Alaska Podshow
http://www.alaskapodshow.com/subscribe.htm
Podcasting is the process of sharing audio files such as oral histories of elders via the Internet. It has become very popular to download audio podcasts to Ipods for convenient listening.  This is similar to allowing everyone to have their own syndicated radio program and anyone can use "RSS" to automatically receive any new audio programs from you. This requires you install a free software program called an "RSS Aggregator."  For more information on podcasting, RSS, Web Logs (called Blogs) and Video Web Logs (called Vlogs) and much more. See the Toolbox link below for tutorials and related resources.

Arctic Ways Web-Authoring Tutorials for Ecommerce Web Sites
www.arcticways.org  
The project will catalyze local, regional, and statewide native infrastructures to develop e-commerce ventures to stimulate village cash economy, codify traditional culture to support regional business ventures, and provide venues to apply and increase technology skills. This model will demonstrate how information technologies can be incorporated into indigenous environments to enhance and strengthen traditional social and economic structures rather than supplant them. Activities include: developing intergenerational culturally-based computer training modules, training villagers to replicate modules in other sites, creating state-of-the-art computer centers, and introducing small e-commerce businesses for native economic growth.

The Arctic Ways site has good images tutorial and other web design resources.

LitSite Alaska
http://litsite.alaska.edu/uaa/
Welcome to LitSite Alaska, a Web community promoting literacy, cultural diversity, and well-being throughout Alaska. A gathering place for families, communities and teachers, LitSite Alaska features narratives illustrating many cultural aspects of life in Alaska. As an on-line learning tool, LitSite Alaska showcases a living archive of lesson plans used in Alaskan classrooms and an extensive collection of excellent peer work by Alaskan students.

This site was started some years ago through a collaboration with the CAS faculty at UAA and some ASD language arts and tech people.  The idea was to have statewide multi-cultural expression and story-telling. It was conceived to be multi-media and to foster an e-community across cultures around literacy and cultural understanding.  It doesn't seem to be deep in multi-media, though a digital archive is planned. It is now facilitated by Dr Ron Spatz, who is very earnest about its mission.

Gates of the Arctic: A Season on Foot with the Arctic Caribou:

http://www.goals.com/thayer/gota/index.htm

Grade Level: Middle School (My estimation)

This project has obvious cultural significance to Alaskan students,  and I

had a particular teacher in mind when I was reviewing the content.   Our

eighth grade geography teacher has integrated GPS devices with his students,

and I could see them really getting into the trek, even though the  third

stage of the trip was abandoned due to weather.  There are  excellent maps,

and I could envision an activity whereby students verify the  mileage of the

checkpoints by establishing approximate waypoints into their computer

simulated GPS units.

In the Time of the Old Ones:

http://teacher.esuhsd.org/webquests/webquests/navajo/WQ102.html

Grade Level: Elementary (3-5)

This webquest explores the Navajo people and their belief systems while

connecting mathematics, language arts and science.  I think there would also

be a natural connection to studies of Alaskan Native Americans, too.  In

particular, the ³importance of belief systems in a particular culture, and

in understanding how the ideas people profess affect their behavior,² is

relevant to all Alaskans.
