A framework for technology integration centered around the concept of Self Actualization

This project aims to enhance and expand a comprehensive framework for holistic technology integration tailored to Indigenous values and needs. The first year will involve developing a detailed research plan, establishing relationships with key community stakeholders, and securing necessary permissions and ethical approvals. The project will then conduct primary consultations and interviews with community members, elders, and leaders to gather qualitative data. This data will be analyzed to refine the existing framework, ensuring it incorporates organizational, cultural, environmental, and community values. The project will produce initial consultation reports and a preliminary research report, laying the groundwork for a sustainable and culturally aligned approach to technology integration. In the second year, we plan to take our findings and apply them to create a graphically enhanced book for publishing, communicating our innovative framework and inspiring a wider audience.
