I think that is absolutely fascinating! What an excellent way of connecting children to their culture especially with Elders and connecting children to other First Nations cultures. It is also a very contemporary way of researching their own cultures and other cultures. Very contemporary. Wow!

This program is an excellent tool to be used. It allows students to keep up with their own cultural traditions, as well as to learn and become involved with other cultures. It opens up the world for them and allows them to understand what other places are like and how they can be helped.

I was really impressed by the First Peoples Project. I thought that it was a great project the children and teachers did a great job by using the Art to reachout to others locally and globally. It helped me to see that projects like these can grow with the use of technology such as video. The Humanitarian Project helped me to see that when technology is used to it's optimum advantage, children in the educational setting can become well informed, and use the information they gain to benefit others. What a positive example.

I really enjoyed listening to the video. However, the visual component was not working?? The video did give a lot of content information, that seem to be educational for students. I real believe that intergrating technology within the classroom helps students to make connections to other people and places around the world. Lets face it, prehaps some students may never get the opportunity to visit or experience or learn from global areas without the use of technology).
