Now fully
in English, DB 1 (spirituality in a flash)
MELBOURNE: 10 January
2013
-- Recall that line yesterday about digital
natives out
there in EAO who might be able to reproduce these videos fully
in
English, instead of just adding subtitles? Well, in the end it
was a
digital immigrant who worked out how to do it. But the idea
should
still be open to the 'natives'!
The first of these three items is now in English and more or
less a
faithful copy of the original. A few technical issues with
size
initially, but it should still be around the same size of the
original.
The
link however is different.
This first part of the three part series in English is
currently on
Youtube rather than SDL until some codec issues are ironed
out. Anyway,
it is more widely available on Youtube, and whatever we
resolve
elsewhere, it will remain there and the others will likewise
be added
there. In the meantime parts 2 and 3 of the subtitled versions
are
still on SDL. Part 1 is showing a 'corrupt file' issue - due
to
uploading the newer English version. Need to sort that out
still.
It is about a day's work
to get one
of these 'done' properly, so a couple more days are needed to
get the
other two up. Expect that probably by Sunday we can have
the
remaining two done.
The prime mover behind this effort is Fr Peter Gonsalves, now
lecturing
at the UPS. It probably finds its earliest history at a
meeting in
madrid of the Social Communications World Advisory Team, where
the
English-speaking cohort decided to do something about getting
Salesian
and especially Salesian educational and evangelising materials
together
and onto the Web. this particular effort, though, is
especially geared
to formation of staff in the Indian school context, but that
does not
mean that most of the resources available are not also just as
applicable elsewhere.
You can find the following, amongst other things:
Pope Francis is the model for the DBWAY
BEST PRACTICE 2014.
More
sing-along videos to Don Bosco and another to give more
'Power to the
Children' (taken from productions by Tej-prasarini, Mumbai
).
The Text Resources have more than 40 new
additions, all highlighted in yellow.
The
17 new Audiovisual Resources (also marked in yellow) will
offer you
links to interesting videos that are related to
educational themes in
the DBWAY.
The
Bookshop has information about our latest addition to
English books on
the DBWAY: Prevention not Repression by Pietro Braido.
