Title: Online TV Recorder
Body: Online TV Recorder allows German teachers to search through available German TV shows and download them for their own use. Here is some advice for its use from AATG listserv users: Just go to this site and register... it’s free: http://www.onlinetvrecorder.com . There have been continuous improvements to the site that make it easier to use. Once you are registered look through the EPG table and find something you want to record and click on it. Once it’s recorded you can download it and decode it with the decoder that you will also have to download from OTR. There are 42 channels available and you will need a hi speed connection because the files are large, anywhere from 2 or 3 hundred megabytes to over 900 for "Wetten, daß...?" Anderson, D. Re: [AATG-L] Was ist OTR?. American Association of Teachers of German listserv (AATG@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU, 4 Aug 2007). --- The "OTR_info.ppt" file should be helpful but I need to mention that OTR has changed the interface a few times since I made that PowerPoint. That means that the screen shots will look differently but the set up is basically the same. The PowerPoint is available at http://www.wawasee.k12.in.us/education/components/docmgr/default.php?sectiondetailid=587&fileitem=946&catfilter=180&PHPSESSID=6261803eced4e313abc59428228cd53b . One big caveat: if you have a PC, use Firefox for your browser. OTR and IE don't play nicely together. IE usually blocks the downloads of the shows. Baird, J. Re: [AATG-L] Was ist OTR?.

Title: Beginning of School Ideas
Body: Here are some ideas from Latinteach users for activities at the beginning of the school year, especially for Level 2 students: I'm going to stand at the door as the students come in and hand each one a slip of paper - one of four colors. When the time comes in class, I will have the students groups themselves by color of paper. On each slip will be a couple sentences from a story they read/translated last year. Each group will have to arrange the slips in order and then translate the passage. On Day One this will require that they communicate and also works well for a quick review. Keith, M. Re: [Latinteach] back to school question. The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 6 Aug 2007). --- You put a word on a card and hold/tape it to your forehead or back, and the other person has to communciate to you who you are. Higdon, L. Re: [Latinteach] back to school question. The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 6 Aug 2007). --- A strategy that I am using early on for a similar purpose is the common "Find someone who...," which can introduce or practice relative clauses, complementary infinitives, and much more. Essentially you just need several Latin statements that students can complete with the names of their classmates (which should only be used once). Another approach is using putting proverbs or sentences on cards -- 1/2 or less on each, distributing the cards to students, and letting students mingle to find who has the other part. (This also works with English translations on one card and Latin on another.) Students then (also) may have a set of interview questions to ask their partner and will introduce that person to the class. They also explain their cards/proverb, etc. Sample cards: cogito (one card) ... ergo sum (another card) Auanger, L. Re: [Latinteach] back to school question.

Title: News Article: Texas Bilingual Programs Upheld
Body: From http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/education/stories/DN-bilingual_31tex.ART.State.Edition2.41fb2e2.html State's bilingual programs upheld Judge rejects civil rights groups' arguments that students shortchanged Tuesday, July 31, 2007 By TERRENCE STUTZ AUSTIN – A federal judge on Monday affirmed Texas' bilingual education programs for its 712,000 students with limited English skills, rejecting arguments by leading Hispanic groups that those students are receiving an inferior education in the public schools. U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice ruled that the state's programs for limited-English students comply with federal law and are achieving some success for children in elementary grades. The ruling basically allows public schools to keep educating students who have trouble with English the same way. State and legislative leaders had worried that an adverse ruling could force the state to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more on instruction.
