I enjoyed the virtual reality portion of this topic, I played a game and was able to pick things up virtually. I enjoyed seeing all the graphics for this game and the cool detail it had. I think it would be awesome to have this type of virtual reality in our language that would be awesome. I would like to learn how to do a 360 in our language, next on my list. For the Bad News portion this was also a good game and I know that older kids would enjoy this. It does go to show how fake news and spreading lies on social media has repercussions. It is a good teaching tool for kids in the middle school age. The more fake news the higher the followers. I also enjoyed the digital escape room, this would be something that can be done in language, the cools and the things inside the room maybe like a kitchen. I think that would be a lot of fun for a family to try to escape with cools in language keeping it simple for them.

The only downfall I feel for all of this type of technology: gamification in education a lot of our First Nations families have poor wifi, limited access to computers and this would be a limitation. This can be done in our classroom together this is one way around it.

This was a good topic. I like the idea of see, think and wonder. I know we can do this in language. For the sketch that I worked on I used things that our water does, so a poster on condensation. This could be taught as science, language and art. This would be good for the kids I teach now grade 1/2. I incorporated as much language as I could in the sketch note. For this topic I do not see any cons only pros. It could be simple or more elaborate.

I enjoyed learning this and I can see the benefits of having 3 D Printing for language revitalization. It could be tactile for the children to use to build words from the 3D letters.

The down fall I see from 3D printing is cost. With language revitalization it is a tough time to do all the work that we do and we can build resources at a much more cost effective way to learn our languages. Funding is a down fall as well as we are all competing for funding to keep our languages alive.

I really enjoyed this learning. I feel the screen casting will be an asset to teach our language and or to give instruction. I liked to use zoom to do this, it was simple.

The one thing I did not like about zoom and maybe I can learn how to take the camera off me while I am screen casting. I will try to figure this out. I figured it out and now my screen cast does not have my video on it.

I have included the board game you can download as well as the screen cast of some questions you can ask for the board game.

Pros for using Educational Games for Language Revitalization, keeps things fun and interactive. Hands on and for games there is a lot of repetition. If you play the games daily the children get good at words in language this includes saying the words as well as recognizing letters and sounds. Cons for using Educational Games for Language Revitalization include heavy competition which does happen in our classroom made up of 70% boys. They do want to win when playing games.

I believe games are a good tool even though there could be potential competition, because of the reputation used in games. An example would be go-fish. Using language such as your turn, do you have? This could include numbers in language and or animals (which is what we use).

Pros and Cons for using Google Earth Narrative Maps or 360 VR Tours for Language Revitalization, for me this is new. I can see a lot of pros using these type of tools. I think I can see a lot of language for specific things, ie. beach, water, sand, trails etc. For cons using this maybe as a person who has not used it might be just unsure how to use it for me that would definitely be a con. I would like to learn and use this for language revitalization learning.

Try your best to find a match and say the words when you turn the card over for practice.

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.
