Title: New Report: The Funding Gap
Body: From http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2008/02/new_report_the.html The seventh in a series of annual reports, The Funding Gap includes state-by-state analyses of funding trends from 1999 to 2005, comparing the resources available to school districts serving the highest percentages of low-income students and students of color to the resources available to districts serving the lowest percentages of such students. For the first time, the report also compares funding available to school districts serving high percentages of English language learners (ELL) to that available to districts serving the lowest percentages of ELLs. Using data for the eight states with the highest percentages of English learners, the report finds that high-ELL districts generally receive less financial support than do districts with few or no ELL students.

Title: Internet for Learning Languages: Interactive Tutorial
Body: From http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/tutorial?sid=1655211&op=preview&manifestid=224&itemid=12021 This tutorial on using the Internet for learning languages is one of a national series of tutorials written by qualified tutors, lecturers and librarians from across the UK. The tutorial is an interactive step-by-step guide that shows students how to make the most effective use of the Internet in the context of learning languages. It aims to be relevant to a wide range of students studying languages at all levels (French, German, Spanish, Italian, English as a Foreign Language, as well as less widely taught and used languages). Learners are taken on a ‘site-seeing' Tour - an overview of the types of websites that can help with the study of languages. The Discover section then provides advice on finding further resources, and gives tips on planning effective search strategies. The Judge section teaches techniques for evaluating websites. Finally, in Success, the tutorial presents specific examples of how the Internet can meet the needs of individual learners. Quizzes are included in the Tour and Judge sections. Users can add sites that interest them to the Links Basket, which functions on the ‘shopping basket' principle. More information about tutorial is available at http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/tutorial?sid=1655211&op=preview&manifestid=224&itemid=12848 .
