Hello Everyone,
We are beginning to collect a number of pertinent resources for educators related to First Nations Pedagogy on our Seminar Wiki.
If you have a great resource to add, please feel free to do so!

Flash and other media programs can be used in inventive ways to showcase First Nations teachings.
One excellent example is the Four Directions Teachings site.
What resources are you are aware of that use Flash, video, etc?

Thank You for sharing your observations, Deirdre!
Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory seems to address this best, imho - he also includes Naturalistic intelligence which incorporates nature and ways of knowing related to the planet; Musical Intelligence, Inter and Intra personal intelligence, and so on...all seem very applicable when considering First Nations pedagogy.

One very clear message that came through at the ICT Summit Conference was that First Nations peoples want to be able to access education programs from their communities. This means either bringing face to face learning to the community or offering online learning. I found this gratifying to hear, since I feared that online learning could be perceived as very Colonial in nature.
