Title: Spanish Music Database
Body: From http://elmundodebirch.wordpress.com A Maryland Spanish teacher has assembled a database of songs in Spanish by artist, title, grammar, vocabulary, culture topic, country, and YouTube video link. As she says in her blog, “If I’m looking for a song that contains the future tense or object pronouns or commands, etc, that’s what I search for; if I need a song from Uruguay, I search for that; if my students have responded favorably to a different artist, like Sie7e, María Mulata or Orishas, I am able to search for more music from that artist; if I need music videos about Sevilla, they are there, too.” Read more about her database at http://elmundodebirch.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/update-to-my-spanish-music-database The database is available at http://elmundodebirch.wikispaces.com/Music+Lights+the+Language+Fire! . Scroll down to My music database to download it. For more teaching ideas from this same teacher, you can follow her blog at http://elmundodebirch.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/update-to-my-spanish-music-database ; although it hasn’t been updated recently it is full of good ideas and resources.

Title: TED-Ed: New Education Channel on YouTube
Body: --- From http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/introducing-ted-ed-uniting-the-worlds-great-teachers-and-animators-to-spread-lessons-beyond-the-classroom-142280635.html TED, the nonprofit organization devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading," launches its anticipated education initiative today: TED-Ed. A permanent initiative, TED-Ed harnesses the talent of the world's best teachers and visualizers, extending great lessons beyond a single classroom to anyone with internet access. In the first stage of this initiative, TED-Ed launches a new education channel on YouTube today. It offers up original video content that marries the talent of great teachers with top animators to bring concepts like neuroscience to life in short videos, typically 5 minutes long. The channel is part of the youtube.com/edu offering – a collection of half a million educational videos – available in many schools as well as to the public online. Through its open submission process, animators and educators from around the globe can contribute lesson plans and video reels on any topic. Select lesson submissions will be matched with chosen visualizers to create video lessons worth learning, watching, and sharing. --- Although there aren’t second-language-specific videos yet, one of the four “playlists” up is “Playing with Language” - see this 9-minute video, “Legacies of who we are,” dealing with desegregation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UD0RjZdUHk&list=PLF9A468788928A351&index=2&feature=plpp_video Read reviews about TED-Ed at http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/ted-offers-free-video-lessons-for-high-school-and-college-students/2012/03/09/gIQAuw5O6R_story.html , http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2012/03/12/ted-launches-channel-for-education-today , and http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/introducing-ted-ed-uniting-the-worlds-great-teachers-and-animators-to-spread-lessons-beyond-the-classroom-142280635.html TED-Ed is available at http://www.youtube.com/tededucation

Title: New Oregon Language Honor Society
Body: From http://cofltoregon.ning.com The new Oregon Language Honor Society (OLHS) recognizes students of the middle and high school levels for not only their academic achievement, but also for their devotion to the study of any foreign language in the state of Oregon. While also encouraging administrators and language educators to develop and maintain high standards of language education, the OLHS serves to promote community service, cultural exploration, and the value of studying a foreign language. All OLHS students and teachers receive certificates of achievement as well as letters of appreciation from COFLT. Those schools who establish a charter will also be recognized in our Spectrum newsletter and on our website. In addition to recognizing students and teachers, the OLHS is a powerful advocacy and promotional tool for your language programs, separate from already existing language-specific honor societies such as the JNHS (Japanese National Honor Society), etc. It is a society to recognize all students of language in Oregon.

Title: Bilingual Language Profile
Body: From http://coerll.utexas.edu/coerll/taxonomy/term/623 In many areas of education, commerce, and public policy, there is a need to understand the functional language abilities of individuals in bilingual populations. The Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning’s Bilingual Language Profile project aims to produce an easy-to-use instrument that can quantify language use patterns, language proficiency, and language dominance in the two languages of bilinguals. These dimensions will be measurable in absolute terms (as scores) and in relative terms (as proportional scores in the two languages). The instrument can be administered by a non-specialist, and will take 7-10 minutes to complete. By virtue of its modular design, it can be adapted to specific needs by selection of appropriate subtests. A guide to interpretation of results will enable teachers, administrators, policy makers, and researchers to understand the language-functional profiles of individuals and groups of testees. The project goals include development of the instrument in Spanish, French, Catalan, and English versions. Learn more about this assessment and access current versions of it at https://sites.la.utexas.edu/bilingual
