I immediately loved the action-oriented concept of “3 steps of how to make authentic, non-trivial changes”. It’s a very clear and well articulated goal. I also thought that as a math teacher the Venn diagram of the Third Space idea signifying the overlap between two worldviews was very clever, simple and effective. The topic is one that I am also interested in, and I am very much looking forward to taking the MET course that covers Indigeneity, Technology and Education which affected you so deeply. It’s amazing how far away we have moved from context. This venture pitch was very engaging and I loved that producing profit is not the goal. We need so much more non-capitalist ideas such as yours, that generate value other than financial. Thank you for this Dana.

Thank you so much for your feedback, JoAnna! I'm glad you pointed out the significance of the Venn Diagram. It's so interesting to me that when I was trying to understand the concept third space, from ETEC 521, I immediately pictured a Venn Diagram. Mathematics is part of my culture, as a mathematics enthusiast and practitioner. By taking the teachings of Dr. Marker (the ETEC 521 prof), and interpreting them in a way that was culturally relevant to me, I understood the concept of the third space on a much deeper level. This perfectly exemplifies the importance of creating culturally responsive learning spaces for our own learners! I am really glad to hear you are planning on 521-ing it.The interviews are very engaging and thought provoking, as are the readings and Dr. Marker. Great course, no question!
