Entry 14: Aboriginal Youth and Technology

On June 19, 2013, Camosen College announced that 2 of its instructors were invited to present their research (case study) on Aboriginal youth and technology.  The paper, entitled Digital Storytelling: A Case Stduy of Aboriginal Youth Engaging in Technology,

examines their ANCESTOR (Aboriginal Computer Education through Storytelling) project that introduces Aboriginal youth to careers in technology, an area that has very few Aboriginal professionals.

The authors utilised a 3D program which enabled Aboriginals to create their own stories in an environment which “parallels the Indigenious world view…[Moreover]  the project …addresses the problem of cultural kiteracy lost to the younger generation.”
