Title: Students Learn in myChinese360, an Interactive Mandarin Class
Body: From http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/local/article/Scofield-introduces-interactive-Mandarin-class-721645.php Scofield introduces interactive Mandarin class by Maggie Gordon October 24, 2010 Students at Scofield Magnet Middle School are learning to speak Mandarin with the help of new technology. At 9:15 a.m. last Tuesday, nine sixth-grade students filed into one of the school's computer labs to login to their computer stations and get to work. After a few keystrokes to bring them to the correct web portal, they donned their headsets and were ready to connect with their teacher, Na Xing, who teaches them live from Beijing. The class is one of two Mandarin sections at the middle school, both of which are conducted using software called myChinese 360. All together, there are 20 Scofield students enrolled in the program, which is serving as a pilot for the district. The roughly $16,000 cost of the program was paid for by a grant, according to Scofield Assistant Principal Bryan Olkowski.

Title: Young Germany Marks Five Years
Body: From http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/__pr/GIC/2010/10/21__YoungGermany__PM.html Five years ago, on October 19, the English-language website Young Germany (YG) went online live at the Frankfurt Book Fair. YG - launched well before the social media age - has grown into an up-to-date, unique source of information and exchange for its users. YG was first designed to communicate about all things German in a new and original way to an increasingly global young generation. In its five years, YG has reported on everything from new career sectors to the latest innovations in science and technology, as well as Germans and German organizations worldwide engaged in interesting ways. Perhaps the greatest change for YG since 2005 is its use of social media. Beginning with just a simple forum for users to communicate on topics of interest to them, YG has evolved into a major interactive online community. Learn more about Young Germany at http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/__pr/GIC/2010/10/21__YoungGermany__PM.html Go directly to the Young Germany website at http://www.young-germany.de
