Body:
From http://www.eagle-network.eu/eagle-flagship-applications-now-available/
The EAGLE Storytelling Application has just been published as an official plugin and the EAGLE Mobile Application is now available both on Apple Store and on Google Play.
The Flagship Storytelling Application is a web-based tool designed to allow users to create multimedia narratives on epigraphic content and share them on the web.
The Flagship Mobile Application enables a user to get information about one visible inscription by taking a picture with a mobile device, and sending it to the EAGLE portal, specifying the recognition mode: exact match to recognize the inscription; similarity to get a list of inscriptions that are similar to the provided one.

Body:
From https://www.getty.edu/research/scholars/digital_art_history/getty_scholars_workspace/index.html
Getty Scholars' Workspace is an online environment designed to support collaborative art-historical research. It provides a space and a toolset that enable research teams to examine digital surrogates of works of art and primary source materials, build a bibliography, translate and annotate texts, and exchange ideas. With Scholars' Workspace, research and communication are consolidated into a single online location accessible from anywhere.
The outcome of a project conducted in Scholars' Workspace might be an exhibition, a seminar, a digital or print publication, a scholarly talk, or something else entirely. While it is not designed to produce these outcomes itself, Scholars' Workspace helps research teams to organize their materials, such as texts and images, and facilitates analysis, investigation, and communication. The workspace is designed to accommodate the multiple perspectives that are typical of humanities research.
Features
• Bibliography builder: collaboratively manage citations online
• Comparison tool: upload images and create comparisons on a digital light table
• Essay tool: write, edit, and annotate texts
• Forum: record and store project-related correspondence in a centralized location
• Image tool: upload, crop, and annotate images

Title: Five Ways to Use Infographics in Language Class
Body:
Teacher and blogger Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell writes, “I’ve often said that infographics are a go-to authentic resource, particularly in novice classes. They are ready-made materials that help you provide input in the visual ways students are increasingly becoming used to. They often use bite-sized portions of language and lots of numbers that make them extra comprehensible. And because they are intended for native speakers’ consumption, they are empowering because they help students realize that learner materials aren’t the only conversation they can partake in.
“But what do you do with them?”
Here are five ways to use infographics in curriculum and lessons: http://musicuentos.com/2016/03/infographics/
