Want professional development that provides educational resources for you and your fellow educators? Want graduate credit for free? Want to see your ideas come to life?
In answer to many emails I have received. Yes, you can still register if you missed the first session. I sent out the recording to everyone who had registered. I am now editing it to put up on YouTube, so if you sign up before Februrary 21st, I will send you think, you can watch the first session and join us in February.
If you are a classroom teacher, culture teacher, museum educator or paraprofessional, we want your input.
We will work with educators to create games and lessons teaching Indigenous and rural history using primary sources. Of course, if these lessons included math or science, we would be thrilled. Educators will work with facilitators, Professors Annmaria De Mars, Juliana Taken Alive and Dan Conn in a series of three workshops, to create game designs and lessons using those games.
We will be creating one game for upper elementary (grades 3-5) and a second game with the grade level to be determined by participants in this cohort and the next.
Our first cohort worked with us to develop a game teaching the history of Native American veterans. You can check it out at this link, Warrior Vets.
The target grade level for this game is grades 5-7. You can see one cross-curricular lesson plan that uses this game to teach history, math, English and even P.E. . There will be more lessons from teachers up next week as I get time to put them on the site.
The next cohort begins Friday, December 13th, from 4-6pm Central Time. All sessions will be offered on Zoom. However, the final session is at MSU the Friday the Minot State powwow begins and travel funds are available for participants. You have the option to attend the last session in person or online.
