Module 2- Post 5- Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education MOOC

IndEdu200x: Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education

This YouTube channel contains the videos created for a MOOC (massive open online course) called Reconciliation Through indigenous Education.  Dr. Jan Hare, in her introductory video to the course, describes why it’s important to Indigenize our education.  As educators we have a responsibility to our indigenous students to value their way of learning and make efforts to incorporate that into our classroom. There are 6 topics in this course, each containing 10-20min videos that explore strategies and resources that support the teaching and learning of Indigenous ways of knowing.  The topics include:

1. Reconciliation through education
2. History of Indigenous education
3. Learning from Indigenous worldviews
4. Learning from story
5. Learning from the land
6. Engaging in respectful relations

Each of these topics give a good introduction to ideas and ways of learning that can be incorporated into your classroom. I have not had a chance to watch all videos but am excited for the idea of what they will help me learn.
