So, for my summer session at UH, I created my blog, and published my first blog.
But I dropped the ball.
I was going to share my experiences with my two summer classes LTEC 642 and LTEC 612, but the two classes in the short 6 weeks of intense work, kept me from attempting to keep my intentions of reporting out.
Now the Fall Semester has started, and my two classes seem to be at a less stressed pace -so far-, I hope to be a little better at keeping up with my intent to blog.
This semester I am taking LTEC 642: Facilitating E-Learning Communities and LTEC 673: Planning for Technology & Resources.
Yesterday, I also received an email from 'Imiloa Astronomy Center at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo, that I was accepted in the new teacher program: MANU 'Imiloa: Kōlea.
My Fall Break will be spend in Hilo for training. But I am really excited about this, because it fits in my curriculum, teaching constellations and navigation, except I won't be using Little Dipper, Big Dipper, Orion, Scorpio, etc -or at least not all of them with these names. Now I will learn the way Ancient Hawaiian Navigators used the 4 Star Lines, Hokupa'a, the wind directions and houses.
I hope that with the classes I am taking this Semester, I can learn how to create online resources for my students to access the Ancient Navigation knowledge, and make it meaningful, yet accessible for them. Not just the celestial navigation unit, but all of my Earth & Space Science resources.
A Hui Hou......See you later!
