Using Keynote to Create Cree Language Dictionaries

Written By Dana McBride

Students in Mrs. Ingram-Paquette's grade 6/7 Cree Language class at Diamond Jubilee Public School in Kapuskasing, got creative with Keynote and the Omushkego Cree app. They made their own visual and auditory dictionaries in Cree! Using Keynote, students integrated animations and employed the audio recording feature to present and communicate numbers they learned in Cree by consulting the Omushkego Cree app.
