material committee

If my school was to participate in this, I have just the people in mind. I believe this summer would be a great time to do the translating. Definitely some of the materials that would be needed would include technology such as person lab top computers, back up equipment, cameras, video-cameras, and audio recording equipment. The stakeholders that need to be involved would include: an elder or two, 2-3 teachers who are knowledgable in the language and who know how children learn language best. I would imagine the stakeholders as sort of a committee that would work together to create curriculum/standards based thematic units that revolve around the culture of the community. The summer wold be a great time for gathering these materials. (Taking pictures, recording, etc) The grant would definitely have to apply to our students awareness and ever-growing use of technological programs and tools. Instead of only focusing on creating paper materials, technology would also have to be utilized. I could imagine each person have specific roles. For example, one person could specialize in the language part, while another person who is more technologically experienced could bring that expertise to the table. I could see this project accomplishing a lot in 3 years.
