Patchwork For those of you who are working with rigid motions of the plane
- reflection, rotation, translation, and glide reflection - here is a Web site
which applies the concepts to Seminole

Traditions Two years ago a group of six teachers across northern Saskatchewan
and Dr. Glen S. Aikenhead began a project
to involve their communities in bringing First Nations science into the science
classroom. They developed six cross-cultural science and technology teaching
units (complete with lesson plans), guided by the writings of Greg Cajete and
other First Nations educators. They also wrote a teacher guide for the whole project
and another document to tell our stories about involving people in the communities
(our challenges, successes, and advice). |
