HP Australia: An Outback School |

Date: Wednesday 1st October
Presenter: Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann AM |
|
In 2007 HP started a very ambitious program. Our aim was to allow children from all around the world to access technology and enhance their learning experiences.
This session will look at this project in depth. With guest presenter Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann AM, we will discuss the challenges of remote education in Australia, from both technical challenges, to challenges faced by a educator. As the first indigenous teacher in the Northern Territory, Miriam-Rose is an expert in indigenous education, and will be able to shed some light on life in an Outback Town.
Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann was born in the Daly River area, Northern Territory. Her primary language is Ngan’gikurunggurr, although she also speaks four other local languages. She completed a teaching assistant course at Kormilda College and worked as a teachers aide at the Daly River mission school. She was sponsored by the federal government to work with art teachers in primary schools throughout Victoria, and become a fully qualified teacher with the Commonwealth Teaching Service in 1974.
 Miriam-Rose was awarded a Bachelor of Education degree in 1993 by Deakin University, and in 1999 gained her Master of Education Degree with High Distinction. The focus of her work for this degree was the integration of traditional and western education for Aboriginal children and adults. In recognition of her outstanding service and contribution to the Northern Territory, in acknowledgment of her leadership and example in the fields of Aboriginal education and the visual arts, and for her contribution to the general community Mirian-Rose was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Northern Territory University. In 1998, Miriam-Rose was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia and in 2004 was appointed to the National Indigenous Council.
