Module #4 – Post #4: Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace

With a focus on storytelling and indigenous culture and values, AbTeC is a unique hub that provides academics, artists and technologists with a network in which to share ideas, developments in technology and digital art, as well as applications of technology for educational purposes. The projects supported by AbTeC are largely geared towards empowering indigenous youth to celebrate and enrich their cultural traditions through new media technologies that allow students to create their own video games and interactive web pages.

The website also provides a lengthy biography of artists, scholars and technicians who have worked with communities, schools and universities to assist in the development of new media projects and curricula, in addition to links to AbTeC related research and case studies that examine the impact of technology on education and Aboriginal youth.
