Mitakuyapi,<br /><br />I have a twitter account for my organization and I set it up to tweet "something the elders say in Dakotah that you wouldn't learn in a college class." I try to send something out every Monday. Phrases such as "my condolences." Unfortunately, without the audio you wouldn't learn the pronunciation unless you have someone to ask.<br /><br />We also have an account on youtube and have posted two "movies" which are narrated books. We are trying to get all 80 plus of our books narrated.<br /><br />Our organization also has a facebook page and we put links to those youtube videos on our facebook page also.<br /><br />Getting all of our language learning materials on the internet and creating computer related materials is actually the focus of our organization this year.<br /><br /><br />Tammy DeCoteau<br />AAIA Native Language Program<br /><br /><p>On Jan 26, 2010, <strong>Dave Pearson</strong> <dave_pearson@SIL.ORG> wrote: </p><div class="replyBody"><blockquote style="border-left: #267fdb 2px solid; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 1.8ex; padding-left: 1ex">Don Obsborn has launched a Facebook page calling for a UN Decade for<br />Language.<br /><br />http://apps.facebook.com/causes/183862?m=fa5edc14&recruiter_id=37952820<br /><br />Dave Pearson<br /><br />-----Original Message-----<br />From: Indigenous Languages and Technology [mailto:ILAT@LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU]<br />On Behalf Of Paul M Rickard<br />Sent: 25 January 2010 18:07<br />To: ILAT@LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU<br />Subject: [ILAT] Facebook and social media<br /><br />Is there anyone out there using the whole social media network such <br />as Facebook, Twitter, etc. in promoting language initiatives or <br />announcements on these sites. One of the great things about this <br />list service is receiving information about what's happening from <br />various users, but I also think the whole social media network is <br />another great opportunity to share this information and create a <br />community.<br /></blockquote></div>
