Blog Review 1

My blog review 1 is on Module IX  http://alaskameltingpot.blogspot.com how she use the Teacher Domain videos to help students to see different impact of the terrestrial ice and Alaska indigenous cultures all connected. 

She describes how the Tlingit people migrated and settled in Southeast Alaska.  Their stories are only told when the Elders allow them to be told.  This brings back memories about how the  Yupik Elders tell their stories through dancing; how they travelled through waterways and many obstacles to find food to feed their family.

She also uses the Wikipedia websites to access the materials so her classes can gain a better understanding of  how glaciers have impacted the indigenous lifestyles in Alaska.

I have really enjoyed readings for this class. It helps me to relate the certain traditions and values of the Inupiaq culture  to my students in the Northwest Arctic. This class has also given me many different websites to view and use for any subject in the school setting. Thank you alaskameltingpot for all your valuable information.
