Kamehameha Schools Distance Learning – 17 Jan. 2009

It’s always great to hear about something that’s convenient, educational, and fun. This week, we found out that Kamehameha Schools’ Distance Learning opportunities are all of that and the price is right, too! ‘Ike Hawai’I, (http://ksdl.ksbe.edu/ikehawaii/application.html, online learning for teens) and A’o Makua, (http://ksdl.ksbe.edu/adult/registration.html, online classes for adults and family) are a user friendly way to learn Hawaiian language, culture and history, according to Pilipo Arnold, who shared what the adult classes have done for him. KS Distance Learning Manager, Kelly Dukelow, even gave Na Kai ‘Ewalu listeners a special code: radio09, good for 60% off A’o Makua classes. That brings the cost to ten dollars a class! Chad Lovell, communications specialist for KS told us a new, Malama ‘Aina class begins in March.

Vickie and Kaho’onei took a moment to clarify their view that Governor Lingle’s appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking permission to sell the State’s ceded lands will actually hurt all of Hawai’I’s residents, because those lands and any proceeds are intended for the benefit of all Hawai’I’s people. Why, they asked, would we want to cut into our own source of wealth? They took off running right after the show to join the protest march and rally.

Olelo No`eau: TBD
