Literacy in the World Languages Classroom
A 21st Century Toolkit
Presented by Elizabeth Helfant and Patrick Woessner
Technology as Passport
There will be a day, not far distant, when you will be able to conduct business, study, explore the world and its cultures, call up any great entertainment, make friends, attend neighborhood markets, and show pictures to distant relatives- without leaving your armchair. It will be more than an object that you carry or an appliance that you purchase. It will be your passport into a new mediated way of life.
Bill Gates 1995
