Program Description

This 15-hour asynchronous micro-credential prepares you to thoughtfully integrate technology in Early Childhood Education while centering Indigenous perspectives. You will learn how Indigenous knowledge systems and community values can guide digital learning and balance modern tools with traditional practices. Through interactive activities and guided reflection, you will gain strategies to ensure technology supports, rather than replaces, cultural heritage and Indigenous ways of knowing.
