Martinez weaves technology through his classes to better inform and connect the students to the subject matter. “I want the students to see the big picture by sharing the stories of the people and learning from the people directly,” he said. Currently, his students are reading La Guerra Sucia, about the dictatorship in Argentina from 1976 to 1983, when more than 30,000 people disappeared. Martinez brings Argentinian voices into the class through Youtube, uses Google maps to enter the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, and video conferences.
