Long Road

This looks great!

Thornton Media, Inc. creates custom hi-tech tools to help save endangered indigenous languages. We are Native-owned and have worked with over 100 American Indian tribes and Canadian First Nations since 1995. TMI is the only language tool company in the world devoted to Native languages.

I love it when popular technology is used in alternative ways. So take  Nintendo DSi and make it a language teaching tool for endangered languages, get an iPhone app for that…now, how these are used and how successful they are need to be measured too, I’d love to see some longitudinal studies on this (DEL grant anyone??), but for now, it’s great that this is going on…it’s a different take on the hacker mentality I’d say and one that could prove very beneficial.
