Title: German Digital Library Goes Live
Body: From https://www.deutschland.de/en/topic/culture/communication-media/german-digital-library-goes-live Following the launch in late 2012 of the Internet portal of the German Digital Library (DDB), it is now possible to browse museum collections online, watch films or read academic articles. The DDB wants to be more than simply a virtual reading room for literature and non-fiction. Its aim is to present Germany’s entire cultural heritage – everything housed within the walls of libraries, museums, archives and collections. “With its attractive content, the DDB can become a virtual ‘cultural showcase’ for Germany”, stressed Bernd Neumann, Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media, in an interview. The DDB has now gone live with around 5.6 million digital objects from 90 different institutions. So far, some 1,900 libraries, archives, museums, media libraries and academic institutes in all are registered. Step by step, they and thousands of others are to add their digitized content to the DDB – a process that will take years. Access the portal at http://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de

Title: Short Films for German Classrooms
Body: From http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/bos/prj/kgs/enindex.htm The film didactics project Kurz & Gut macht Schule began in 2005 with a series of 9 film shorts and continued with an additional 11 animation shorts in 2012. This short film collection has found friends around the world. Teachers can use the films as the varied basis for German studies.

The DVD Short & Sweet Goes to School I: Short Feature Films is available for lending from many Goethe-Institut libraries, Goethe reading rooms, and Goethe centers. The DVD Short & Sweet Goes to School II: Animated Shortfilms will be available for lending in February 2013.

Title: How To Make Texts for Your Students
Body: From http://blogs.dickinson.edu/dcc/2013/01/21/classical-commentary-diy Latin teacher Peter Sipes writes, “Over the last few years of teaching Latin to homeschoolers, I’ve found that I need to make a lot of my own materials. …There is a lot of high-quality material available for beginners and people studying Golden Age Latin literature. Once you get away from those two sweet spots, however, the supply of student materials quickly dries up. “Since I want to make sure my students are aware of a broad range of Latin, I present post-Classical literature. I’ve taught selections from the Vulgate three times, and just finished up with a second go around of Thomas More’s Utopia. These are wonderful texts, but they require the making of my own materials for students. My aim is fluent reading, and so I like for everything—text, notes, and vocabulary— to be on one page, as in Clyde Pharr’s well-known text of the Aeneid. “With some serious tweaking of process over the last few years, I have finally nailed down a good work flow.” Read Mr. Sipes’ description of his work flow at http://blogs.dickinson.edu/dcc/2013/01/21/classical-commentary-diy

Title: Article: Many Barriers for English Learners on Regents Exams
Body: From http://www.uticaod.com/news/x1146196428/Many-barriers-for-English-learners-on-Regents-exams Many barriers for English learners on Regents exams By KESHIA CLUKEY January 24, 2013 Senior Keh Blut Soe stood nervously studying her notes before going into the exam room. The 17-year-old Thomas R. Proctor High School student was about to take the U.S. History Regents, an exam that for her is about a foreign country in a foreign language. Blut Soe is one of 439 English language learners at Proctor and among 1,506 in the district, said Deborah Wilson-Allam, administrator for pupil services and English language learners. All students must pass the Regents exams with at least a 65 to earn a high school diploma, and according to state regulations, they only have four years to do it, otherwise they're marked as “incomplete,” Wilson-Allam said. The incomplete impacts the school's accountability - a way the state measures success based on graduation rates and testing scores, said Proctor Principal Steven Falchi. “It certainly poses a significant challenge for the school,” Falchi said. “It's difficult to see those kids work so hard and not get a high school diploma.” Read the full article at http://www.uticaod.com/news/x1146196428/Many-barriers-for-English-learners-on-Regents-exams
