I choose this sound file that is from a short book that we wrote that talks about what you see at the beach. I know when we create resources having audio files and or videos to go with our books is helpful for families. I also posted a short video we created on bugs a while back that was on a YouTube channel that we created. Any type of resource that we create we make sure it is family friendly. No inappropriate pictures or no bad words are posted. This important to us. I enjoyed learning about uploading video and sound files to the third blog today. It was a good day to learn about technology. Ǧilakasl̓a K̓anasumaǧa.

Today we learned how to upload pictures using two different sites Unsplash and Pexels, both of these sites are free. We learned the importance to give credit to the photographer. We had a couple of good tools today and my hopes are to use this for language revitalization.

We also learned a bit about lesson plans vs learning plans. Lesson Plans are outlines of what is to be covered and it is a regimented outline, it is a traditional method of organizing a classroom, it lists homework as well as links to resources.

A Learning Plan is customized for individual learners. It fits to the individual learners needs and interests. It is flexible and adaptable and it works good for inquiry based learning.

We also watched a documentary Most Likely to Succeed. And we were asked about pros and cons for the pedagogy used by this type of school. I see more pros then I do cons. I relate to this type of teaching our classroom isn’t free range but we give the children a lot of choices and I feel they learn better that way, they are more engaged. I feel with the way we are teaching now at our middle schools and high schools are not properly preparing our children for the outside world. Teachers are not flexible in their teaching strategies especially for our indigenous students who are more likely to drop out, lower graduation rates, lower reading levels, etc. I think a High Tech Highschool would work well for our students here.

Today was a good day, it was a bit hard and frustrating at the beginning but once it worked out I was able to post a blog.  I was able to have a step by step process to help with the set up.  I am grateful to having the website up and running.  I hope to utilize this website to blog daily using a word and sentence of the day.  I will use pictures and words in Likʷal̓a Language.
