Comment on A Northern Education… by Tara

It’s great to hear someone else taking part from the northern ‘wilds’ of Canada! I look forward to reading more of your posts (I just popped over to your site to view one) in the #change11 MOOC. It just seems so overwhelming to me right now…I’m glad there is someone else – with more experience than I – working with a similar group of students.

Hi Tara – I hear you when you talk about highly skilled people whose skills are often disregarded when it comes to class work. I’m below the treeline, but also in an isolated community in the NWT working as a community adult educator. Looking forward to more of your insights as you participate in #change11

Hi George,

Thanks for the ‘welcome’; I think it’ll be great to get such a wide perspective through this course. I am certainly looking forward to hearing from people who also teach in relatively isolated areas!

Hi – welcome to the course (sorry, couldn’t find your name on the site).

I’ve had the opportunity to visit several northern communities (Iqaluit and Churchill). These communities have very different learning and educational needs than what is common in Toronto or New York. Interestingly, I find that countries in Africa have some overlapping concerns with northern communities: problems with internet access, different community narratives than what defines well developed centres, youth with huge desires and passion to create/share/become, but with some challenging barriers to overcome.

Anyway, I hope you’ll engage in change11 and share your experiences. It’s critical that educators encounter the experiences of people who come from different locations and who face different educational challenges that the ones that are reflected in prominent narratives.

It’s funny, TweetDeck doesn’t really appeal to me – it’s just too much information that I don’t care for. For some reason I feel that it runs counter to twitters “simplicity”.
The other thing that I find interesting is that people feel constrained by 140 characters, but the 140 character limit was in order to accommodate SMS (which is how twitter got its start). I haz no prob xpresing myself in 140 chars
