We attended our Alaska Culture class on Monday of this week via distance delivery. We have a room dedicated to distance based learning where we can talk with, and receive, instruction from various places around the district. It’s actually quite cool. In this class we are suppose to learn about Alaska Native Culture, which is quite beneficial to us because of our location and job description (teaching Alaska Native children). The books the district wants to use for the class aren’t in print any more, so people have to share. The class seems like a good opportunity, unfortunately, both of us don’t feel like we have enough time to create good lesson plans and participate in this class. We’ve been trying to drop it, but getting a hold of people here is actually quite difficult. Time in the native culture is calculated differently then time we are used to.
