A photo and audio blog for Spanish language students
Students on the L204 second level course "Viento en popa" sent images and voice recordings from their mobile phones as they walked around the historic town of Santiago de Compostela in North Western Spain during their week-long summer school in August 2007. The website was built around the same software and systems previously employed in KMi's Xtreme Webcasts, with the addition of Google Maps via their API.
