Module 3 Weblog 2

I must admit I have felt a little discouraged in my web trek to find an unbiased opinion about the use of technology in Indigenous education. I came across the following site:

http://www1.lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/indigenous/

and there are a lot of links, but once more I found that there is very little information of the sort I am looking for. What I did find at: http://www.cdi.gob.mx/

was a link to a video: http://www.cdi.gob.mx/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=278

in which I found a mention of the boarding schools, which sound similar to the residential schools in Canada. The difference I suspect is that the children do not seem to be mistreated, however they are being taught in Spanish rather than their indigenous language, and so they are being gently persuaded to leave behind their language and customs so that they can fit in with the majority.
