I had recently learned that there are Indigenous groups in Mexico that are creating their own discourse and while I was looking for more information I came across this website. At first I was enchanted as the images are incredible. However as I began looking for who controlled the site, I became aware that it was neither an Indigenous, nor a local site. I finally had to investigate what UIT stood for and I was very quickly disenchanted. This appears to be a United Nations project to make access to telecommunications more equitable. This explains why the website is in Spanish and English, but not in any of the indigenous languages.<\/p>\n
It is worth visiting for the photos and a lot of really useful information, there is an e-learning section with ideas such as how to set up and use a free Moodle platform, although I could only find it in English. There is information on \u201cplataformas\u201d in Spanish, but it wasn\u2019t as clear as the English site. I would recommend this site to anyone in education as I think they may find some useful tools here, but I don\u2019t see this site as being very helpful for a lot of indigenous communities. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
