Final Project Criteria

The Essential Question guiding your Final Project is the same as the Essential Question for this entire course:
How can teachers use digital resources, community resources and effective teaching methods, integrating Alaska Native ways of knowing with Western scientific methods to create greater student interest in, and understanding of, the geosciences?
Throughout this course, participants explore the realms of scientists and indigenous peoples at the intersection of their common interest in understanding the Earth and its processes.
Using resources presented in this course (though not limited to), participants will complete a final project that suits their professional purposes. A classroom lesson, unit of instruction, presentation, video, peer training or even a community event are just some of the possibilities for your final project.
Your final blog entry will be a representation of your final project that describes your objectives, goals and rationale (what you're doing, where you're going and why), including links to resources used in the Final Project.
