Indigenous Exploration – Kamloops Industrial School

This project was really fun to work on and filled me with knowledge of industrial schools. Making a podcast of it was entertaining and intriguing. I, Jadon, and Devon’s approach to research this topic was creating a word document we can all access and edit and creating separate sections for each other. We’d assign each other different topics to search up about the school. However, there was a handful of challenges we had to face when choosing this school.

One of them was only being able to find one source of information for a specific topic. Ron Ignace was the only person that we could find that attended the school, survived, and was interviewed on it. The second challenge was finding the information ourselves. For this school specifically, you have to scavenge for specific details or buttons to find something about this school. The worst-case scenario was looking through an entire page that’s subject is unrelated to the school.

We managed to get around them and we created a script we can read off to avoid stuttering or lagging when trying to improvise.

 

Communication: The ways we communicated our learning was using a third-party program that lets us communicate through voice chat, share URLs, pin certain ideas and messages, and screen share. It’s called Discord and it is very user-friendly.
