As we get nearer to the date of submitting our projects, I am a mix of excitement and anxiety. Excitement that I get to share my passion for teaching First Nations content and engaging this online community with some resources. Anxiety with presenting in a digitally-created way. I am learning with my students – I cannot ask them to be media literate creators if I am not stepping up to the task.
To the actual project: It is exciting to find new resources, as the Native Studies 10 suggested resources are outdated, but still relevant today. I was talking with a trusted colleague and I was advised to not sway from documents that are time-honoured, but to add to/enhance the resources. This view supports the First Nations philosophy of seeking wisdom from knowledge keepers (kehtwaywak) and learning.
