Honk, Honk, Honk! Well, its official the gathering of the Geese has begun. I've heard their call for a few days ago, I tried to deny it, but the fanfare resounded the coming fall. I began to wonder, what is in store for me this season?
It's the beginning of a new chapter, projects have been completed
or moved into the next phase, and new stuff is starting to take shape.
One of the projects I enjoyed doing this year was the E-Index, a
wonderful community product of Function
Four. I got survey households in communities, met some great people
and learned more about the status of ICT in northern and remote communities.
Another great project is the "ICT
Best Practices, in Remote, Rural and Aboriginal Communities" story
collection. We heard some great success stories, innovative ideas, and
wonderful opportunities for others to duplicate projects in their
home communities. The next exciting phase is the publishing of the
stories and a conference setting to share the best practices. I look
forward to the final products and meeting new people at the gathering, which
will be in Winnipeg, Manitoba sometime this fall.
The next project for me is learning more about digital
storytelling, and how we share this knowledge with Aboriginal communities.
I foresee digital storytelling as way to preserve culture and
language, as well as a way to share traditional knowledge and stories through
modern day technology.
I look forward to seeing what this fall season brings, and to
hearing the music of a journey beginning as the gaggle passes over us. Honk,
Honk, Honk!
