In my research I came across a 2009 article that explores digital technologies and their impact on Aboriginal learning in Canada.\u00a0 Written by Fatima Pirbhai-Illich, K.C. Nat Turner and Theresa Y. Austin and titled Using digital technologies to address Aboriginal adolescents’ education: An alternative school intervention the article is a good read.<\/p>\n
The link to the article can be found here<\/a>, if you click on this RSVPN link<\/a> it should take you right to the paper after logging in with your UBC credentials.<\/p>\n This article is a very interesting and timely piece that researches how digital technologies can support the learning of Aboriginal students.\u00a0 More specifically the ethnographic project examines the impact of digital technologies on academic and technological literacy of one class through a number of projects.\u00a0 The technology-focused and multi-modal activities were capped by a student written and produced public service announcement and some images and parts of the script are included.<\/p>\n The paper provides an interesting snapshot of one group of teacher`s efforts to reach out to Aboriginal students using technology in a Canadian classroom.\u00a0 Although no astounding conclusions are recommended or made it is encouraging that groups of teachers are taking it upon themselves to take a closer look at how technology can be used to foster and support Aboriginal youth in their classrooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In my research I came across a 2009 article that explores digital technologies and their impact on Aboriginal learning in Canada.\u00a0 Written by Fatima Pirbhai-Illich, K.C.
