As part of an ongoing assignment for PME 811, we are asked to begin a public blog to document our reflective practice as it relates to innovation in teaching and learning.  We are asked to identify a question relating to our own professional context or personal interest that we would like to probe at depth and where possible, we should ground our thinking both philosophically and historically and connected to the course readings.  My guiding question is: How can education be re-conceptualized to include Indigenous knowledge and education and how does this new conception promote innovation in teaching and learning?

Following up on our attempts to Smudge in an Online Virtual Learning Environment My ISS teachers have hosted 4 smudges, at 2:15 p.m. each day. They have incorporated a moment of silence and then went through and shared a beautiful smudge opportunity with staff and students.  On the first day, we have over 300 Middle Years and Senior Years staff/student participants and over 150 Early Years staff/students .  On the second day, we once again had over 300 Middle Years and Senior Years staff/student participants and closer to 200 Early Years staff/students . This was all in a remote learning context and it was such a powerful and beautiful opportunity.  Overall, the virtual smudge has been a resounding success and we have received numerous notes of gratitude for the acknowledgement and collective response. I have reached out to my online PLC to see what suggestions, tips, hints they might share to host an online smudge. I notice that this might also be an opportunity t...
