# Video resources can also support language learning by providing text-audio-visual (image) representations of any concept or item. Creating simple video documents of the singing of local songs, narration of local stories / folk literature can not only support learning, but also preserve these important cultural resources for posterity. This can also help in reducing the huge disparities we see between English and Indian languages in terms of resources on the web. Digitisation of local cultural resources by teachers and students can connect the school with the local community, engage the learner with their own culture and support local resource creation.

# You can use a text editor to enhance your writing skills. 'Wordsmithing' can become an art every learner can learn. Combining text and other resource formats can provide opportunities for every learner to engage in 'digital resource smithy' to hone their communication and resource making skills.   
 
# Each digital tool can be seen as offering a set of processes. You can chose different processes from different tools and combine these to get the outputs that you want.
