I learned alot about indian education, and really enjoyed the presentations. specifically I learned alot about indian culture in this area, as well as some topics to teach to my students. What I found most interesting was the indian sign language. What was interesting to me was the that indians had sort of a basic system regardless of tribe. What was more interesting was what was lost in translation. Even more interesting was that the language might be dying. This is a scary thought. I would have liked to have dug deeper into the boarding schools. In my class, i would like to dig into the art aspects of indian culture, both historical and today. I could show documentaries and have visits to local colleges that feature such art.
