My Project

Since I moved to Juneau, Alaska in August, I have been spending time trying to figure out how to bring technology to the little kids where I teach. I am currently teaching students in Special Education in a Tlingit school.

Technology is everywhere; and since I attended a training about coding, it became my mission to think of possible ways on how I can bring it to my Tlingit students- and so we also say that EQUITY is everywhere.

Tlingit are a Native American people that belong to the Southeastern coast and coastal islands of Alaska. These students and their parents have passion about the revitalization of the Tlingit culture and language.

I want to expose in my students to weekly activities in coding. For them to be able to understand the coding concepts, they will need unplugged (coding activities that do not involve computers) and plugged activities (coding activities that include computers/ technology). The Osmo materials that I am hoping to have in my classroom will help my students understand commands like jump, move forward, etc. I will have those commands translated in to Tlingit so that the coding unplugged activities that my students will do will be in Tlingit. This way, my students will see how and how much Tlingit language can be used when it comes to technology. The commands in plugged activities will still be in English.

I am also hoping to have a mini- fridge in my classroom so I can put some food and drinks for my students as they enjoy while coding.
