There search for this phenomenological narrative study consisted of three interviews each with eight participants who were willing to share their personal experiences from this selected time in history. Ten themes were uncovered: chaos brings balance, challenge to become bi-cultural, the importance of teachers, teachers as support systems, one's spirituality, tribal influences, influences of economic resources, cultural awareness and value, relevant curriculum and recruitment of Native teachers. By uncovering these stories, it is hopeful that today's educators are more informed of the need for culturally responsive pedagogical curriculum and instruction.

Lack of preparation, lack of confidence, and lack of career-focused experiential learning opportunities leave students feeling frustrated and result often in their early departure from higher education. This newly developed and piloted experiential learning educational program provides opportunities that allow students to grow and develop inside and outside the classroom. Through community building and regional partnerships—enmeshed in a visible number of academic departments campus wide—the researchers endeavored to promote engaged and active learning. Engaged, active learning encourages students' connections with college resources with diversified programming that includes (a) internships, (b) service learning communities, (c) experiential immersions, (d) undergraduate research platforms, and (e) capstone projects, al...

The authors propose “best practices” that allow the educator to use AR as a tool that will not only teach the processes of a skill but will also encourage students to use AR as a motivational tool that allows them to discover, explore, and perform work beyond what is capable with this revolutionary device. Finally, the authors provide and explore the artificial intelligence (AI) processors behind the technologies driving down cost while driving up the quality of AR and how this new field of computer science is transforming all facets of society and may end up changing pedagogy more profoundly than anything before it.

In today's amalgam of differences, education that is independent of cultural biases is more than difficult to author. Virtual and augmented reality (VR) technologies offer a possible solution but come with a host of other challenges. Content made for VR can easily be tailored to demonstrate educational concepts to bring people into the same space, but despite being able to provide this, we are left with another issue: Where do we get this media? This chapter will explore ways for businesses and organizations to build pedagogical VR content to foster more immersive learning that is culturally unbiased. The authors also explore costs and potential revenue and develop a clear picture of what it would take to startup such an enterprise in today's US economy.
