Introduction
Ataguttaaluk Elementary School
Igloolik, Nunavut
Ullaakkut! I'm Shankary, and I've been teaching Grade
6 at Ataguttaaluk Elementary School in Igloolik,
Nunavut, for the past two years. Being part of this
vibrant Inuit community nestled in the beautiful Arctic
landscape has been amazing. I'm thrilled to be
involved in the Connected North program, which has
been instrumental in broadening our students'
horizons and enriching their learning experiences.
It's not merely a virtual connection; it's like opening
the door to a whole new world of learning and
understanding that goes beyond our immediate
surroundings.
During our live, interactive sessions, students get to
dive into new ideas, cultures, and experiences. In
Igloolik, where resources and diverse learning
opportunities can sometimes be hard to come by,
the Connected North program bridges those gaps
beautifully.
It lets our students engage in hands-on, interactive
learning experiences, which are important for
helping them develop the skills they need to
succeed. I try to give my students the best education
possible, and programs like Connected North play a
crucial role in making that happen.
