Title: Plan Curriculum with Your Colleagues This Summer at Camp Musicuentos
Body:
From http://musicuentos.com/2015/02/cm15/
Spanish teacher, consultant, and InterCom contributor Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell is once again offering Camp Musicuentos workshops in the summer of 2015. These one-day workshops are an opportunity for a small (20) group of teachers to get together and plan curriculum for the coming school year. Following a crash course in setting realistic proficiency goals, teachers will be grouped by level and work on scheduling units for the coming year, developing proficiency-based performance assessments, and moving on to skills students will need to develop and activities and resources that you can use to move your students to higher proficiency.
There will be three Camp Musicuentos opportunities this year. Two will be on June 25 and June 26 in Louisville, Kentucky. One will be July 24 in Warwick, Rhode Island.
You can learn more about Camp Musicuentos, both to sign up and for ideas for similar projects in your local area, on the Musicuentos blog: http://musicuentos.com/2015/02/cm15/

Title: Article: How Internet Slang Enters ASL

Internet slang meets American Sign Language
by Mike Sheffield
February 23, 2015
As language evolves, the powers that regulate language tend to shift. Just look at the Oxford English Dictionary, who added terms like “duck face,” “lolcat,” and “hawt” to their prestigious lexicon this past December....
But how do these new, internet-laden turns of phrase enter the sign language community? Was there a way of expressing “selfie” in ASL, was there a sign for “photobomb?” Our simplistic question turned into a larger conversation about the nature of communication.
Read on to learn more about how new signs become part of ASL vernacular, plus to see how people are signing words like "photobomb" and "onesie": http://www.hopesandfears.com/hopes/now/internet/168477-internet-american-sign-language
