Learners Publish Book of Poetry and Art

 

In February 2008 the Sioux-Hudson Literacy Council initiated a project for a group of learners to explore the creation and collection of material for publication over the Internet.  Daniel Sakchekapo led the project in gathering a group of young adults to decide on a concept, to storyboard and to collection of the material.

A Call for Nominations – 2012 Learner Awards

Last year, Good Learning Anywhere awarded two learners with awards that celebrated their achievement and leadership.  This year, we are looking for two learners that embody the spirit of our online community.

The Ivy Tabobondung Award for Leadership is awarded to the learner who has shown leadership in the GLA learning community, whether it is through online communication and classes or in their physical community.  We will also consider learners who have advocated for and supported other learners and non-learners in their goals and dreams.

Crafting for Family Literacy Day 2012 – surprises, laughter and learning

Our small celebration of Family Literacy Day was filled with surprises, laughter and learning.

All our projects together

No only did our participants span 50+ years in age, but we had abilities of all levels, we created pouches from an original pattern written by one of our own, and some of our participants turned from attendee to instructor.

Hey Google: Look at what Google + has done for our Hearing Impaired Learners!

We integrated Google Apps in mid-2009, amid some skepticism of how this would fit into our Literacy program.  The benefits were immediate and palpable.  Not only did we now have a unified email handle, we now had communication and collaboration at our fingertips.  It wasn’t long before Google became a normal part of our program.

Now, to give you a bit of background on our program, Sioux-Hudson Literacy Council runs 4 programs: the Literacy and Basic Skills program, the Sioux Lookout and Hudson Learning Centres, and our online program, Good Learning Anywhere.  We have many unique and, I think, wonderful opportunities for adult learners, both locally and province-wide.
