Adventure Learning: Situating Learning in an Authentic Context
نویسنده
چکیده
It is March 5, 2004. I and my five colleagues from the Arctic Transect team have been traveling across the Canadian Arctic via dogsled since December 31, 2003. As we approach Baker Lake, Nunavut, we have not seen anyone else in 73 days. Across the horizon a jumping light can be seen as a snowmobile approaches us. I am on the front sled, so I stop the team and ski over to the individual dismounting his machine. I extend my arm and say, "My name is Aaron Doering. You have no idea how excited I am to meet you." The Inuit Elder from Igloolik, Nunavut, replies, "I know who you are; I recognize your voice from the Internet."
