I added a paragraph on the documentary and the YouTube excerpt, with references, to the English-language version of the page. Can somebody let the children know so that they can translate it for the Spanish-language page?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestina,_Peru I have wanted to suggest this practice of having students write Wikipedia pages as a regular part of the curriculum for every OLPC deployment, starting with pages in the local languages on every local subject, and expanding to translations by students of various other languages as they become sufficiently capable. I will write this up for my blog, http://replacingtextbooks.wordpress.com/ This page mentions caywa, evidently a local crop for which there is no Wikipedia page in either Spanish or English. I do not find it in Spanish Wiktionary, either. Here is another page that mentions caywa without explanation. http://sachamama.livingroutes.org/2011/07/28/shukshuyaku/ Apparently the standard spelling is caigua, and the name is derived from Quechua kaywa. http://www.yanuq.com/buscador.asp?idreceta=1095 http://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/caigua So I added a link to Cyclanthera pedata «Caigua» redirige aquí Please thank the students for me, and let them know that I was delighted to have the opportunity for a collaboration with them. No hablo español realmente, pero sé leer. Qué los niños me escriben, por favor. Muchas gracias.
