Steven Nelson demonstrates how technology was used to revitalize the Eyak language in Alaska at an Alaska School Board Association-sponsored workshop the evenings of Oct. 21-22. Around 20 Wrangellites attended the first night of the presentation delivered by Nelson and Cheryl Bobo, and 15 attended the second evening. The two also met with a number of local school faculty members during the day to help them begin improving how technology is used in the classroom and with other projects. Wrangell's Chamber of Commerce was also on board with the workshops, which were a first for the school-based program. Bobo explained that kids are the real technological experts and introduced an idea to link them up with local businesses to help develop more effective electronic marketing plans.
