What s in it for non-Indian children?
• Instead of wasting their time learning inaccuracies that do nobody any good, now Mainstream students can experience the thrill of studying real Native American culture with a class of Native American peers who are learning about themselves, live and interactive as they also learn new computer skills. Up until now, most children have been in the position of having to study shallow and inaccurate information because their teachers lacked good materials. Cradleboard provides both accurate curriculum and connectivity. • Computer internet skills become meaningful far beyond surfing the net. Students participate in Live Chat, and Discussion Boards; and in some cases face-to-face meetings and live video conferencing. They build new friendships in a controlled private environment, while also gaining guided access to hundreds of Native American tribes, curriculum, newspapers, and organizations.
