Indigenious programs in Hawaii: this link is to a site where UH COE professor Pauline Chinn describes her place-based curriculum and training for Hawaii teachers. The goal of her course was to teach the teachers how to help their students make connections to their immediate cultures. I audited the course this summer. It was a completely hands-on, place-based learning course. It was an incredible learning experience for me as a non-science teacher and I found many applications of indigenious learning practices applicable to digital technology, especially where social justice in digital tech is of interest.
