Agree on a curriculum strand where your theme could be used in student activities as a basis of exploring and capturing indigenous knowledge, local ways of thinking and doing (we'll help with some suggestions). Consider a simple lesson activity that uses the ICTs (computers, tablets, server content) to capture and learn about local knowledge (research, record, elaborate, publish). Finally, use the Wikieducator Lesson Plan Template to share your lesson plan idea.
- Discuss the results (each group could present with the lesson plan projected on screen)
