Teaching with tecnohology. Seminar 3

During this session we received a special task. Sara van Bruggen, the managing editor of Real Travel Experiences magazine has sent a special invitation:
The magazine has begun a TravelCast series called "Monument Moments," a unique audio journey through monuments and memorials and the lives of the famous people they commemorate and we were invited to participate in the development and production of an episode in the newest Travel cast edition: Monument Moments- Washington D.C. Edition.

For this task Elliot Mashinini from South Africa was my partner and we did a podcast about Martin Luther King Jr. It was a meaningful activity. We can search information about his life and his remarkable role in the Civil rights Movements in the United States.
