What will happen in your session?

I will explain why I consider that the Internet is a medium with many benefits for literacy, inclusion and training for the Deaf. Second, I will explain the Project: web workshops by the means of Mexican Sign Language on different topics that I have found that the Mexican Deaf Community is interested in: language, history and how to make an organic garden. Finally, I will summarize the session defending that the internet takes part in the improvement of education in communities with more educational backwardness and social exclusion. This is the case of the Mexican Deaf Community.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

This session provides solutions for social exclusion. It proposes a bridge between the internet and the inclusion of monoritarian communities in poverty at majority. Its success is based on extensive research on the Deaf and their needs, finding on the Internet benefits for their educational and social development.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

I will need an interpreter of sign language in the case of the video be recorded or there be deaf persons attending the session.
