Service Learning and Location-Based Gaming in Language Instruction Sephardic Jews: Spain to New York. Mirla González
In 2012, an on-line service-learning project was created by Mirla González. The concept for the project originated from a course Mirla took her senior year at Marist College entitled, Spanish and Technology, under the direction of Dr. Kevin Gaugler, associate professor of Spanish. The first module based on the Gomez Mill House was developed in cooperation with the Gomez Foundation for Mill House and is presented here as part of the educational programming offered by the Gomez Mill house.
