Title: Idea: Storytelling To Celebrate Cultural Diversity
Body: From http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think Many of us work with groups of students from more than one cultural background while others teach largely monoculture groups of students. In both cases, there is opportunity to celebrate diversity through the telling of traditional tales, whatever the age group and profile of our students. Folk tales from all cultures have universal themes and at the same time tell us about specific features that can illuminate and alter our perception of those other cultures, often through metaphor. Read the full article for ideas for using folk tales and find resources for English-language folk tales at http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/articles/storytelling-celebrate-cultural-diversity

Title: Sophia: Online Social Teaching and Learning Network
Body: From http://www.eschoolnews.com/2011/06/08/sophia-is-a-free-social-teaching-and-learning-network Sophia is a free social teaching and learning platform that offers academic content to anyone, anywhere free of charge. The website, which has been described as a mashup of Facebook, Wikipedia, and YouTube focused solely on education, also lets educators supplement their teaching methods with tools to create a customized learning environment in a private or public setting. Sophia uses Web 2.0 tools and methods to create a credible, crowd-sourced platform where information is organized in “learning packets”—bite-sized tutorials tagged to specific academic subjects or topics, including standards-aligned objectives. The packets can be created by anyone, anywhere using text, images, presentations, video, audio, and more. Packets are rated for quality and evaluated for academic soundness by users and experts within the community. Educators can use these packets to supplement instruction, and they can create an invitation-only environment where members can share content and ideas, ask questions, and get answers within their own learning community. Read the full review at http://www.eschoolnews.com/2011/06/08/sophia-is-a-free-social-teaching-and-learning-network Sophia is available at http://www.sophia.org . If you click on Subjects at the top of the page the drop-down menu includes World Languages, but at this point few of the languages have any content in them.
