Education

Modern applications of information and communications technology can open many opportunities for better education in First Nations and remote communities. KCDC has worked to develop and test on-line education initiatives in Northern Saskatchewan through the Headwaters Project. We also provide First Nations Schoolnet services for schools in Saskatchewan and Alberta as the program's regional management organization.

The Headwaters Education Centre web site will connect you with the world of on-line education. You can register for a growing list of on-line classes. You will also find links to learning resources that can be used by teachers or students.

We do a lot of work to build the capacity to deliver and benefit from on-line education in remote and First Nations schools. Much of this is available as professional development seminars and courses. Connections to this material are made through the Education Centre web site.

The potential benefits of on-line education for remote communities are just starting to be realized. We envision a day when location will not hinder what a person can achieve in education.
