Mesolore+Review+by+David+Eaton

Mesolore was easy to use, and there were many helpful bilingual resources available to students and scholars. Mesolore includes three Nahua documents that demonstrate the transformation of indigenous writing in Central Mexico throughout the 16th century. There are also thre e Ñudzavui documents that illustrated how indigenous writing in Oaxaca was transformed over the course of the sixteenth century. These documents were interactive, which made them easier to use and understand.It was very helpful that these documents had an introduction that explained when they were painted, what they were painted on, and their meaning. Some of the documents additionally had videos that gave additional information on the subject. Moreover, there are tutorials for teachers on how to effectively use the codices. I would like to spend more time using the scholar section of Mesolore. It includes lectures on certain Mesoamerican subjects and portraits of people and their work in the area of Mesoamerica. The debates center on contemporary issues such as history vs. propaganda and indigenous rights. There are lesson plans and syllabi for teachers. David Eaton'14
