– Your experiences creating this assignment.

Our group’s overall experience I would say was good and definitely a learning experience. I learned how to find good helpful information we also learned how to record our own podcasts using Audacity. I had fun with this assignment because it was different and unlike something I’ve ever done before.

– Your group’s path in researching the topic.

Our group went through lots of struggles with researching we thought we had enough information but we didn’t so we had to go back and find new information. I found it quite hard to find new information about on-reserve schools I believe this is because there is not enough attention going into it because many people are unaware.

– Obstacles or items you learned in recording

We went through many obstacles through out the process of recording at first we were struggling with sound issues and how loud we should be speaking. Towards the end we realized we didn’t have enough information for the desired time limit but we pushed through by taking time out side of class time to find more information till we got within the time limit.

Critical Thinking … How does your artifact (audio recording) tie in with what you have learned before? How has your thinking changed? What made it change?

Before starting this assignment I knew very little about how life is at reserve schools. I knew only indigenous people could attend the schools but I was unaware how difficult it was for them.  For example I didn’t know they had such a low graduate rate.  My thinking has changed drastically about on reserve schools because of how unaware I was and learning all these new things really opened my eyes on how difficult this is for them and that not much attention is going towards it.
