Upon reflection of my contributions to our weblog, many of my posts have been quite text based, so I would like to diversify that. I found this You Tube site from the Campbell River Museum that is quite interesting related to online story telling, history, and cultural studies. The museum uploads fairly short clips related to local, ‘place based’ experience. I thought this was also linked quite intimately to discussions we’ve been having recently about ‘place’, and the importance of a location in helping us to define our knowledge. Interestingly, the museum is called ‘The Museum at Campbell River’, and not ‘The Museum of Campbell River’ – a distinction in language I found quite interesting.

Not all video are relevant to our course of study, but there video clips ranging in topic from:

• Dance of the Kwakuitl
• The Big Rock Story (animation that could be held up to scrutiny)
• The Great Tyee Part 1-2

Again, not all clips are directly relevant to our study in ETEC 521, but they are related to place based knowledge.
