Final Project

Essential Question:How can digital resources and effective teaching methods be used to integrate Alaska Native ways of knowing and Western scientific methods in order to create greater understanding of, and interest in, geosciences for students?

I am in an unusal situation this year since I am not currently a classroom teacher. I am the Deaf Education Coordinator for my school district. As part of my job I serve 34 Deaf/Hard of Hearing students from PreK to High School in 16 different schools. I provide direct services as well as consultative services.

Soo....I decided to create a comic strip presentation to showcase Teachers' Domain to my peers at all 16 schools that I travel to. I also emailed a copy of my presentation to my fellow teachers in North Carolina! Everyone was excited to get on Teachers' Domain and start incorporating it into their personal situations.

My goals and objectives are to enlighten my peers as to the wonderful digital resource we have in Teachers' Domain and how it can be used along with effective teaching methods to address a variety of subjects (including geosciences) to integrate Alaska Native ways of knowing and Western scientific methods in the classroom setting.

Attached you will see my first ever attempt at a presentation!! Enjoy!!
