Recently, while I was still in Germany, I received an invitation from the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese to participate in an extremely interesting workshop. I missed the deadline, for not having access to the Internet from a cell phone: this connects with the first video assigned about cell phones as the primary way of accessing Internet by the year 2020 (well, I better hurry up...).
The workshop: Digital Media for Endangered Languages in Latin America. This is an important international collaborative project that will use digital technologies to help document and preserve some ancient languages of Latin America from the countries of Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and Paraguay.
I thought that this was an incredible initiative and will follow the developments closely. Wanted to share this with you, because it is relevant to both, my content, and our current Literacy and Technology course.
