<p>I just received an email from Thabo Jakavula who shared this great site called <a href="http://ruefind.com/">RueFind</a>. The site is a Google map that gathers images and information about interesting sites around the world. The <a href="http://ruefind.com/world-map.aspx">map</a> is covered in small images which you can click on to see a little more information about the site.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Acabo de recibir un correo electrónico de Thabo Jakavula quien me compartió este gran sitio web llamado RueFind. El sitio es un mapa de Google que recoge imágenes e información sobre sitios de interés en todo el mundo. El mapa está cubierto de pequeñas imágenes sobre las que puedes hacer clic para ver un poco más de información sobre el sitio.</span></p>
<p>Starting from the homepage you can also browse through the more popular cities, and see what attractions each one offers. On the right hand side you will also find other categories to browse through such as <a href="http://ruefind.com/category-pictures/museums.aspx">museums</a>, <a href="http://ruefind.com/category-pictures/lighthouses.aspx">lighthouses</a>, <a href="http://ruefind.com/category-pictures/castles.aspx">castles</a>, etc. A search for libraries only yielded <a href="http://ruefind.com/searchworld/libraries.aspx">one result</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">A partir de la página principal también se puede navegar a través de las ciudades más populares y ver lo que cada una ofrece en atracciones. Al lado derecho también encontrará otras categorías tales como <a href="http://ruefind.com/category-pictures/museums.aspx">museos</a>, <a href="http://ruefind.com/category-pictures/lighthouses.aspx">faros</a>, <a href="http://ruefind.com/category-pictures/castles.aspx">castillos</a>, etc. Una búsqueda de bibliotecas sólo se dio <a href="http://ruefind.com/searchworld/libraries.aspx">un resultado</a>.</span></p>
<p>I really like how visual this site is and the photographs are beautiful, although I do think the descriptions of the places are a bit short. Maybe a link out to the wikipedia entry for each site would help. The coverage also heavily focuses on North American and Western Europe, with little information for the rest of the world. Still, it&#8217;s a great site, and worth visiting.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">A mi me gusta que este sitio es tan visual y las fotos son hermosas, aunque yo creo que las descripciones de los lugares son un poco cortas. Tal vez un enlace a la entrada de Wikipedia para cada sitio ayudaría. La cobertura se enfoca en gran medida en América del Norte y Europa Occidental, con poca información sobre el resto del mundo. Aún así es un gran sitio y vale la pena visitarlo.</span></p>
<p>This is a participatory site and everyone can join in to help contribute images, and information.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Este es un sitio participativo y todo el mundo pueden unirse para ayudar a contribuir imágenes e información.</span></p>

<p>I just discovered this cool site that help you find newspapers across the globe! <a href="http://www.newspapermap.com/">Newspaper Map</a> is very easy to use, and color coordinated to make things easy to find. The different colors of the pins represent the language of the original newspaper, and the site allows you to navigate in English, German, or Japanese.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Acabo de descubrir este excelente sitio que le ayudará a encontrar periódicos de todo el mundo! <a href="http://www.newspapermap.com/">Newspaper Map</a> es muy fácil de usar y esta coordinado por para facilitar la búsqueda. Los diferentes colores de los alfileres representan el idioma original del diario y el sitio le permite navegar en Inglés, alemán o japonés.</span></p>
<p>You can begin looking for newspapers by clicking on the pins across the map. Each pin will give you the name of the newspaper, and will offer you the option of reading the site in multiple languages. And in order to get a closer look at the pins, you can zoom in on a specific region. You can also use the search box to look for specific titles, or search by address.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Puede comenzar a ojear los periódicos haciendo clic en los alfileres a través del mapa. Cada alfiler le dará el nombre del periódico y le ofrecerá la opción de leer el sitio en varios idiomas. Y con el fin de conseguir una mirada más de cerca a los alfileres, puede ampliar cada región. También puede utilizar el cuadro de búsqueda para buscar títulos específicos, o buscar por dirección.</span></p>
<p>As I browse the site I&#8217;m finding newspapers I&#8217;ve never heard of, but I also don&#8217;t see other newspapers I do know of. The site is still in beta, so hopefully more and more newspapers will be added over time.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Mientras navego el sitio estoy encontrando periódicos que nunca he oído nombrar, pero también me doy cuenta que faltan otros que si sé existen. El sitio está todavía en fase beta así es que espero que con el tiempo agreguen más y más periódicos.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">03/17/2011 &#8211; I&#8217;ve just been informed that there is now a version of Newspaper Map in Spanish! <a href="http://newspapermap.com/ES.html">Access it here</a>. And they have <a href="http://newspapermap.com/m.html">mobile versions in many more languages</a>.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">03/17/2011 &#8211; ¡Me acaban de informar que ahora hay una versión de Newspaper Maps en Español! <a href="http://newspapermap.com/ES.html">Aceda a ella aquí</a>.</span> <span style="color: #888888;">También tienen <a href="http://newspapermap.com/m.html">versiones móviles en muchos otros idiomas</a>.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldmusic/map/"><img class="size-full wp-image-5643 aligncenter" title="bbc radio1" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bbc-radio1.jpg" alt="" width="451" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A few months ago the BBC launched a new <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldmusic/">archive of world music</a>. During the ten years that <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/">Radio 3</a> has been on the air the program has been visiting people all around the world and making professional quality recording of dying folk music. The idea of this new archive is to make these recording available to a much larger public.</p>
<p>As I write this I&#8217;m listening to the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00v3zn1/World_Routes_Argentina_Tango">first</a> of two programs about Tangos. I like that the recording begins with some background information about Tangos, including some Argentina&#8217;s history, other types of music that have influence tangos, and of course there are samples of some of the most memorable songs.</p>
<p>You can browse the collection by <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/programmes/">program</a>, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/programmes/schedules/2010/w42/grid/ataglance">schedule</a>, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/presenters/">presenters</a>, or through this great <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldmusic/map/">interactive map</a>.</p>
<p>You can read more about this story <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/aboutthebbc/2010/07/world-music-archive-is-launche.shtml">here</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Hace unos meses la BBC puso en marcha un nuevo <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldmusic/">archivo de música del mundo</a>. Durante los diez años que <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/">Radio 3</a> ha estado al aire el programa ha estado visitando a gente de todo el mundo y produciendo grabaciones de calidad profesional música popular en vía de extinción. La idea de este nuevo archivo es poner estas grabaciones a disposición de un público mucho más grande.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Mientras escribo esto estoy escuchando el <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00v3zn1/World_Routes_Argentina_Tango">primero</a> de dos programas sobre tangos. Me gusta que la grabación empieza con información general acerca del tangos, incluyendo algo de historia Argentina, otros tipos de música que han influido al tango, y por supuesto, hay muestras de algunas de las canciones más memorables.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Puede navegar la colección por <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/programmes/">programa</a>, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/programmes/schedules/2010/w42/grid/ataglance">horario</a>, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/presenters/">presentador</a>, o a través de este genial <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldmusic/map/">mapa interactivo</a>.</span></p>

<p>It sometimes seems to me that the phrase &#8220;Without Borders&#8221; has become a franchise; I think the first one was <a href="http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/">Doctors Without Borders</a> (Medecins sans Fronteires), but now there are a whole bunch of them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.librarieswithoutborders.org/home.php">Libraries Without Borders</a> are affiliated with the French based <a href="http://www.bibliosansfrontieres.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&amp;Itemid=1">Bibliothèques Sans Frontières</a> and they supports &#8220;education in developing and disaster affected areas by providing children, students and adults access to well-equipped, up-to-date and efficient libraries. Access to knowledge is a key factor in social and economic development.&#8221; Both are currently working to save and rebuild Haitian libraries.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.rsf.org/">Reporters  Without Borders</a> advocate for freedom of the press, have been  producing a Press Freedom Index since 2002, and which is updated yearly.  (Here&#8217;s the most recent one, <a href="http://en.rsf.org/spip.php?page=classement&amp;id_rubrique=1001">2009</a>;  The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index">Wikipedia  entry</a> is actually easier to read.)</p>
<p><a href="http://scientistswithoutborders.org/Splash.aspx?ReturnURL=/default.aspx">Scientist Without Borders</a> &#8220;aims to mobilize and coordinate science-based activities that improve quality of life in the developing world.&#8221;  They have put together a database which helps users with complementary projects to find one another and collaborate. <a href="http://www.technologywithoutborders.org/">Technology Without Borders</a> works to &#8220;develop, customize and service Information Management Systems for non-profit organizations, and educational institutions&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ewb-international.org/">Engineers Without Borders</a> &#8220;facilitates links and collaboration among its member groups toward improving the quality of life of disadvantaged communities worldwide through education and implementation of sustainable engineering projects, while promoting new dimensions of experience for engineers, engineering students, and similarly motivated non-engineers.&#8221;  <a href="http://www.builderswithoutborders.org/">Builders without Borders</a> gathers &#8220;ecological builders who advocate the use of natural, local, and affordable materials in construction.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teacherswithoutborders.org/">Teachers Without Borders</a> help promote free and open education by supporting &#8220;teachers in their desire to collaborate in order to address pressing community development needs.&#8221; <a href="http://www.sociologistswithoutborders.org/">Sociologists Without Borders</a> encourages sociologists to &#8220;participate, democratically, with others to set standards for human wellbeing and devote our energies to understanding how to achieve these standards.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lawyerswithoutborders.org/Pages/Default.aspx">Lawyers Without Borders</a> works to &#8220;protect the integrity of legal process, serve the underserved, and promote the culture of pro bono service in the legal profession- all with a neutral orientation.&#8221; <a href="http://mbaswithoutborders.org/">MBAs Without Borders</a> believes that &#8220;business can do amazing things and when channeled appropriately, it can have an incredible lasting impact in communities.&#8221;</p>
<p>There are even <a href="http://clownswithoutborders.org/">Clowns Without Borders</a> and <a href="http://www.magicianswithoutborders.org/">Magicians Without Borders</a>! Both work to offer laughter and magic to all persons, but especially children in refugee camps, conflict zones, and war torn areas.</p>
<p>Now if all of these &#8220;Without Borders&#8221; organizations would just join forces we would be well on our way to truly making an impact and helping eliminate all those social ills that keep so many in poverty, ignorance, and sickness, and which could be fix if the world&#8217;s politicians would only readjust their priorities.</p>
<p><em>There are plenty more of these and new ones will probably sprout up before I hit &#8220;publish&#8221;, so here&#8217;s a small sampling of a few more. <a href="http://www.theatrewithoutborders.com/">Theatre Without Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.designerswithoutborders.org/">Designers Without Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.acuwithoutborders.org/">Acupuncturist Without Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.soccerwithoutborders.org/">Soccer Without Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.astronomerswithoutborders.org/">Astronomers Without  Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.chemistswithoutborders.org/">Chemists Without Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.cinemawithoutborders.com/">Cinema Without Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.executiveswithoutborders.org/">Executives Without Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.friendswithoutborders.org/">Friends Without Borders</a> / <a href="http://www.beeswithoutborders.org/">Bees Without Borders</a></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">A veces me parece que la frase &#8220;Sin Fronteras&#8221; se ha convertido en una franquicia; Creo que  los primeros fueron los <a href="http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/">Médicos Sin Fronteras</a> (Médecins Fronteires) pero ahora hay un montón de ellos. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://www.librarieswithoutborders.org/home.php">Bibliotecas sin Fronteras</a> están afiliadas a la institución francesa </span><a href="http://www.bibliosansfrontieres.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&amp;Itemid=1">Bibliothèques  Sans Frontières</a><span style="color: #888888;"> y apoya &#8220;la educación en áreas en desarrollo y zonas afectadas por desastres proporcionando a los niños, estudiantes, y adultos acceso a bibliotecas bien equipadas, eficientes, y con material relevante.

Actualmente las dos organizaciones se encuentran trabajando para salvar y reconstruir las bibliotecas de Haití. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://en.rsf.org/">Reporteros sin  Fronteras</a> abogar por la libertad de prensa y han venido produciendo  un indice de libertad de prensa desde el 2002, el cual se actualiza  anualmente.

Ambos trabajan para ofrecer sonrisas y un poco de magia a todas las personas, pero especialmente a los niños en campamentos de refugiados, zonas de conflicto, y las zonas asoladas por la guerra. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Ahora bien si todos estas organizaciones &#8220;Sin Fronteras&#8221; se unieran estaríamos en buen camino para realmente tener impacto y ayudando a eliminar todos los males sociales que mantienen a tantas personas en la pobreza, la ignorancia y la enfermedad,. Todos males que podrían ser corregir si los políticos del mundo simplemente reajustaran sus prioridades. </span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #888888;">Hay muchas más de estas organizaciones y probablemente brotaran mas antes de que de &#8220;publicar&#8221; a esta entrada, así que aquí tiene una pequeña muestra de unos pocos más. <a href="http://www.theatrewithoutborders.com/">Teatro sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.designerswithoutborders.org/">Diseñadores Sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.acuwithoutborders.org/">Acupunturista sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.soccerwithoutborders.org/">Fútbol sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.astronomerswithoutborders.org/">Astrónomos Sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.chemistswithoutborders.org/">Químicos sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.cinemawithoutborders.com/">Cine Sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.executiveswithoutborders.org/">Ejecutivos sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.friendswithoutborders.org/">Amigos sin Fronteras</a> / <a href="http://www.beeswithoutborders.org/">Abejas sin Fronteras</a> </span></em></p>

It sometimes seems to me that the phrase "Without Borders" has become a franchise; I think the first one was Doctors Without Borders (Medecins sans Fronteires), but now there are a whole bunch of them.

The project has been in the works for about 4 years now, and was initially conceived by James Billington of the USA Library of Congress (LOC), and developed by UNESCO and LOC. The site will function in seven languages and will showcase digital treasures from around the globe and throughout the ages. It is hoped that the site will help promote international understanding and expand non-English, non-Western content online.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">¡Hoy la <a href="http://www.wdl.org/es/">Biblioteca Digital Mundial</a> se lanza en vivo! El proyecto ha  estado en las planeación cerca de 4 años y fue inicialmente concebido  por James Billington de la Biblioteca del Congreso de EE.UU. (LOC), y  desarrollado por la UNESCO y la LOC. El sitio funcionará en siete  idiomas y mostrará tesoros digitales de todo el mundo y a lo largo de  los siglos. Se espera que el sitio ayudará a promover el entendimiento  internacional y expandir el contenido de la web en idiomas diferentes al  inglés,  y de regiones no occidentales.</span></p>
<p>This really is a fascinating collection. You can search it by geographic region, time period, topic, holding institution, and type of item. While looking  you&#8217;ll find old photographs, curated videos, detailed explanations of the items, and links to share these treasures through some of the most commons web 2.0 venues, such as Facebook and Twitter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="360 Cities" href="http://www.360cities.net/">360 Cities</a> is a great site that allows you to see all 360 degrees of over 50 cities around the world. Well you don&#8217;t actually get to see every corner of the cities, but you do see major streets and attractions. Cities in this project are mostly European cities, with a number of places in Asia, and I&#8217;m sorry to say, hardly anything in Latin America (only Merida, Venezuela and La Havana, Cuba). Still the views you do get are very impressive, and it provides a great way to &#8220;travel&#8221; without leaving home.</p>
<p>Navigation is done through a combination of a Google map and images taken by VR (Virtual Reality) photographers. The site encourages VR photographers from around the world to become involved with the project in order to continue growing the site.</p>
<p>Image info <a title="360 cities eiffel tower" href="http://paris.360cities.net/fs.html?loc=On_the_stairs_of_Eiffel_Tower.p36">here</a>.</p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://www.360cities.net/">360 Cities</a> (Ciudades 360) es un sitio fabuloso que nos permite ver 360 grados de más de 50 ciudades alrededor del mundo. Bueno, realmente no vera la ciudad entera, solo partes de ella, pero si podrá ver más calles principales, y grandes atracciones. Las ciudades incluidas en este proyecto son en su mayoría ciudades europeas, además de unas cuantas ciudades en Asia, y lamentablemente no tienen casi nada de Latinoamérica (Solo Mérida, Venezuela, y La Habana, Cuba). Sin embargo es un proyecto que impresiona, y uno que nos permite “viajar” sin dejar la casa.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La navegación dentro de las ciudades es una combinación entre un Google map y las imágenes tomadas por fotógrafos VR (Virtual Reality = Realidad Virtual). El sitio anima a fotógrafos VR alrededor del mundo a participar en el proyecto para así continuar creciendo el sitio.</p>

COL works with government officials to promote information and communication technologies (ICT) as a means to impact the areas of education, learning for livelihoods, and human environment.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the projects launched by the COL is the <a title="WikiEducator" href="http://www.wikieducator.org/Main_Page">WikiEducator</a>, a website that gathers people who believe education should be free and available to all. They aim at helping users plan, and develop educational projects, especially those based on free content. Through their <a title="Learning4Content" href="http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content">Learning4Content</a> program they are working at conducting workshops, train educators, and develop free educational content. At times all of this work is done virtually, other times participants have been able to meet to collaborate.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">COL also helped coordinate the development of a <a title="Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth" href="http://www.wikieducator.org/VUSSC">Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth</a> (VUSSC). During its initial stage, the VUSSC will focus on creating courses in Tourism and Hospitality, and Small Business Management.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The COL understands that millions of children worldwide have no access to basic education, and many more are taught by poorly trained teachers, and study in schools with few resources. Estimates are that about a billion adults worldwide are illiterate, or have received a very rudimentary education. And while COL focuses on the Commonwealth countries, it aims to help improve opportunities for all adults, children and the generations to come.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I truly love the “radical” idea behind these projects, that education should be free and accessible to all! May the Commonwealth  of Learning continue with many more great projects!</p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">La <a href="http://www.col.org/colweb/site">Commonwealth of Learning</a> (COL) es una colaboración que empieza en 1989 con los mandatarios de 53 países que forman la <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations">unión de antiguas colonias inglesas</a>. Estos de reúnen para promover la educación a distancia y abierta, así mismo que para compartir recursos y tecnologías nuevas. COL trabajar con gobiernos oficiales para promover tecnologías de información y comunicación que impacten las áreas de educación, entrenamiento de supervivencia y los espacios desarrollo humano.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Uno de los proyectos promovidos por COL es el <a href="http://www.wikieducator.org/Main_Page">WikiEducator</a>, una pagina de Internet reúne a quienes creen que la educación debería ser gratis y estar a al alcance de todos. El proyecto les ayuda a sus usuarios a planear y desarrollar proyectos educaciones, especialmente esos que estén basados en contenido gratis. A través del programa <a href="http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content">Learning4Content</a> trabajan para crear entrenamientos, capacitar educadores, y desarrollar material educacional de contenido abierto. A ratos todo este trabajo se lleva a cabo virtualmente, y otras veces los participantes logran encontrarse para trabajar en colaboración.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">COL también ayuda a coordinar el desarrollo de la <a href="http://www.wikieducator.org/VUSSC">Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth</a> (VUSSC). Durante su etapa inicial, la VUSSC se enfocara en crear cursos sobre hoteleria y turismo, y sobre administración de pequeñas empresas.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">COL entiende que millones de niños alrededor del mundo no tienen acceso a una educación básica, y muchos otros reciben su educación de profesores mal entrenados o estudian en escuelas con pocos recursos. Las estadísticas dicen que hasta un billón de niños alrededor del mundo son analfabetos, o han recibido una educación muy rudimentaria. Y mientras COL hace énfasis en los países de la Commonwealth, su metal final se extiende a ayudar a crear oportunidades educacionales para adultos y niños alrededor del mundo por generaciones a venir.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Realmente me encanta la idea tan “radical” detrás de esta iniciativa, ¡que la educación debe ser gratis y asequible para todos! ¡Ojala que la Commonwealth of Learning siga triunfando y sean muchos buenos proyectos por venir!</span></p>
