Night Kitchen Interactive is proud to be partnering with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian on American Indian Responses to Environmental Challenges, an instructional website for classroom learning (project launch June 2011). Documenting four American Indian communities, the website highlights first person narration of the environmental issues facing these tribes and their responses to those challenges.
The site presents a media-rich, scaffolded learning environment with progress tracking and assessment features. Students watch videos, explore interactive activities, and answer questions along the way to gain deeper insights to the integral role the environment plays in the daily lives of American Indian communities and draw connections to local environmental issues. The culminating classroom presentation activity allows students to collect notes taken across the site into one central web-based planner.
