This past 18 months has shown us how technology plays an important role in engaging students. The Lakota Language Consortium has created a variety of digital tools to allow parents, students, teachers and administrators to learn Lakota online. These digital tools allow accessibility to the Lakota language regardless of age or experience level. This session we will provide an overview of the keyboards, online dictionaries, learning applications, as well as the audio resources available. By the end of this session attendees will have a clear understanding of what is available as well as some ideas of how they can implement these tools for their students.
