Title: Conduct a Radio Workshop in Your German Classes
Body:
From the AATG-L listserv:
Hello USA! Hallo Amerika! I am looking for interested teachers of German and their German class to host a radio workshop for "The Transatlantic School Initiative (TSI)" in November 2014.
TSI is a program supported by the German Government and designed to connect students and teachers from Germany and the USA by offering media based training in a classroom setting to German/American themes and to produce a bi-lingual radio show. TSI has successfully started in 2013 with media workshops in Texas followed by workshops in California and Washington State in 2014. The next round of workshops is set for November 2014.
The workshop is conducted by the free Journalist Wolfgang J. Fischer for the Berlin-based organization Radijojo.org. Students and their teachers learn how to produce their own radio show in a transatlantic context. possible dates are:
November 4-7, 2014
November 10-14, 2014
or November 17-21, 2014 (preferred)
A workshop week is realized during German classes in one week and one field day.
The results are distributed on http://www.radijojo.de/the-transatlantic-school-initiative/ Please visit Radijojo to see what German and US-American students have produced so far for the Transatlantic School Initiative
To participate in November 2014 at the transatlantic School Initiative or to get further information please contact Wolfgang J. Fischer at fischer@adrenalinestudios.com

Body:
From http://www.ascsa.edu.gr/index.php/News/newsDetails/take-a-field-trip-to-corinth
Following on the heels of the app and interactive Ebook for the Athenian Agora, the ASCSA is happy to announce a new, free app to help you explore Ancient Corinth with content from the forthcoming Ancient Corinth: A Guide to the Site and Museum.
The ASCSA partnered with Google earlier in 2014 to enable you to tour Ancient Corinth on-site on your smartphone. iPhone, Android, and Google Glass users can download the free Field Trip app from the iTunes and Google Play stores, tick the box for ASCSA content, and then walk around Ancient Corinth. You will be notified by your device’s GPS when you approach any of over 50 Corinth monuments. View images, descriptions, links to more information on ascsa.net, and related Hesperia articles. Field Trip frees you to tour Ancient Corinth however you like in whatever direction you choose. Once you've explored the site inside the fence, use Field Trip to find your way to the Odeion, the Gymnasium, the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore, and elsewhere.
For more information and to download the app go to http://www.ascsa.edu.gr/index.php/News/newsDetails/take-a-field-trip-to-corinth

Title: Disabled Access Friendly: Awareness of Mobility Disability for English Language Learners
Body:
From http://www.disabled-accessfriendly.com/
The Disabled Access Friendly campaign aims to sensitize students to issues affecting people with mobility disability. The campaign reaches people through the teaching of English as a foreign language.
The website provides teachers with free teaching material that can be used in class, for projects or examination practice, but at the same time stimulates students to put themselves in the shoes of someone with a mobility disability, for a better understanding of their needs and feelings.

Title: Blog Post: Backward Design and ACTFLs Keys to Planning
Body:
From http://somewheretoshare.com
Teacher Carrie Toth writes,
“I am a long time backward planner! I love dreaming up hooks that get students excited to dive into a new unit and planning assessments that measure students real ability to use their new language! Many people love the idea but don’t know how to get started. How exactly do we come up with an essential question that will carry meaning for our students?? How can we remain true to the tenets of comprehensible input yet teach cultural content in the target language? I assure you, it’s possible and exciting to use real contexts while maintaining comprehensibility!”
How does she do it? Read on at http://somewheretoshare.com/2014/07/14/backward-design-and-actfls-keys-to-planning/
