We must help Native Americans to become successful by involving them in areas where they can excel.

"Recommendations of the presentation include: (a) an examination of the collaborative efforts between the campus and community /tribal colleges regarding educational and financial opportunities, (b) promote the improvement of efforts to sustain, support and maintain a multi-cultural program on campuses, (c) promote the improvement of campus support services for Native American students, (d) increase the recognition of faculty members that impact Native American educational experiences, (e) increase efforts by institutions to hire qualified Native American faculty and support staff, (f) initiate efforts to foster self determination in Native American students, and (g) improve communication between Native American students and campus entities, especially the administration."--Pat Beu, Negotiating the Best of Two Worlds: Native American Student Success at a Small, Predominantly White University

This is a wonderful report. We have seen technology helping students of all walks of life. I wasn't aware of the Washington State Program. We have seen a similar program at the State University of New York in Buffalo. The students actual have over a dozen different instructors that donate their time. It has been highly successful for everyone.

Online education programs can really solve the problem of mobility. Although we live in the 21st century when mobility shouldn't be a problem, well, maybe some people have that issue. Online education can really down a lot of barriers. You just need to have the determination to have higher education.

Everybody is talking at the moment about how cloud services will be the next thing in matter of online services. Such cloud services can provide a platform for people to study online. I guess that native American students could benefit a lot from this. What do you think?
