video | Technology for Taíno / Tecnología para el taíno

Presentation languages: Spanish and English, with French subtitles

About the presentation:
From the virtual classroom to artificial intelligence, technology is part of our daily lives. So why not use it to revitalize the Taíno language and culture? During this presentation, we will explore the technology being used to reimagine our ancestors and honor our heritage, to teach children the Taíno language while they learn hands-on skills, and to create the first digital curriculum, available on any device from anywhere in the world... completely free!
