Connected North: The future for remote, Indigenous classrooms.
Manage episode 305035547 series 2974167
Only 24% of households in Indigenous communities across Canada have access to modern, highspeed Internet, which means students in these places aren’t getting the same new digital learning experiences as kids throughout the most of the country. Now, a program called Connected North is aiming to change all of that.
In this episode, Michael Furdyk joins Erika Van Noort to discuss how Connected North is using two-way telepresence video technology to enhance the classroom experience in Indigenous Communities - through physical technology and interactive software specifically designed for remote access. Best of all, it’s leading to lower dropout rates and more empowerment for First Nations students in school and life.
Featuring:
Michael Furdyk, Director of Innovation at TakingITGlobal
Special thanks to Rebecca Martinez, Karen Buttigieg and Cheryl Stookes for lending their honest thoughts!
