  • The aim of Project Pathfinder, to be implemented in ISICANA (Salteño Institute of Argentinean-North American Cultural Interchange) is to design an english course in the initial level, with blind teachers (with the help of no blind assistants) for blind students. The methods to offer this course will be based in Internet and multimedia. The experience obtained will be shared through ISICANA´s the web page, to have feedback with others educative communities around the world. On the other hand, the experience include a volunteer staff of professors of English spread around Argentina, who will participate in a forum to help with their own the experience, because some of them taught to blind children in the past.
