"Uploaded on Dec 17, 2010 by CaptionMax **This video is displayed with video description and closed captions.** Directed, written, produced, designed and animated by Nina Paley, 82 minutes, 2008. Accessibility provided by CaptionMax: Video description by Annie and Spanish captions by Eladio Canibano. To learn more about CaptionMax visit: www.captionmax.com. To learn more about Nina Paley visit www.sitasingstheblues.com. Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told." "

È un film stupendo di per sé. È molto interessante anche la "video description" (audio descrizione) per i non vedenti. Forse una possibile attività, non dico in L2, ma nella formazione linguistica in generale?

"... Big Data sind vor allem Massen von Informationen, die wie ein digitales Biotop Heerscharen von Propheten hervorbringen, deren Augen bereits in das Morgenrot einer neuen Menschheitsepoche vordringen. Was allerdings auffällt, wenn man sich ein wenig durch den wachsenden Bücher- und Artikelberg zum Thema arbeitet, ist, dass sich die Beispiele für neuartige und spektakuläre Big-Data-Analysen wiederholen. Ganz vorneweg läuft ein Artikel in der Zeitschrift «Nature» aus dem Jahr 2009, der über die Zusammenarbeit von staatlichen Epidemiologen und Google-Mitarbeitern berichtete, die zwischen 2003 und 2008 ein Verfahren zur möglichen Prävention von Grippe-Epidemien entwickelt haben. Sie korrelierten einschlägige Suchmaschinen-Nachfragen nach Grippe-Symptomen, Medikamenten, Antibiotika in bestimmten Regionen mit der Frequenz von Arztbesuchen und stellten damit ein prognostisches Modell für den Verlauf einer Epidemie auf. Zuvor wurden aus mehreren hundert Milliarden Google-Anfragen rund 50 Millionen ausgefiltert, deren Stichworte dem Grippe-Thema zugewiesen werden konnten. Jetzt erlauben es avancierte Rechenverfahren, die Entwicklung einer Seuche beinahe in Echtzeit zu verfolgen und dabei Vorbeugemassnahmen zu treffen. Das Beispiel ist schlagend, vor allem darum, weil es sich unmittelbar ins Reich des Menschheitsheils fügt. Wer will künftig seine Google-Anfragen noch unter Datenschutz stellen, wenn es doch - das oberste Pathosregister ist hier am Platze - um das Leben von Tausenden geht? Die übrigen Beispiele, die die Big-Data-Literatur zur Verfügung stellt, fallen eher in das Feld des smarten Kommerzes. Dass Jeff Bezos, der Gründer von Amazon, seine Bücher nicht von Kritikern anpreisen lässt, sondern den Kunden immer wieder Bücher empfiehlt, die sie eigentlich bereits gelesen haben, ist eine solche smarte Big-Data-Idee. Wer ein Buch über Hühner bestellt, bekommt kurz darauf eines über Hähne empfohlen. Im Prinzip geht es darum, Real-Time-Informa

OK, questa opinione libera è in tedesco, poco insegnato in Italia - poi per giunta è scritta da un professore di letteratura, perciò Google traduttore - se si mette l'URL in http://translate.google.com/ - a volte se la cava sorprendentemente bene, a volte produce parole alla rinfusa.

""A mook? What's a mook?" asks "Johnny Boy" Civello, the fast-talking gambling debtor in Martin Scorsese's 1973 film Mean Streets. For years, "mook" existed in English as an obscure slang term referring to "a foolish, insignificant, or contemptible person" (as Merriam-Webster's Online defines it). According to one Scorsese biographer, Vincent LoBrutto, the term first appeared in 1930 in the work of S.J. Perelman, the well-known writer and humorist. Since then it has occasionally resurfaced-in Mean Streets, for example; and again, around 2000, to classify an emerging class of poor, angry white kids who listen to rap metal. But that particular monosyllable was rarely at the tip of anyone's tongue. Until recently, that is, when college professors began broadcasting their courses to a worldwide audience. They called their courses "MOOCs," which stands for massive open online courses and is pronounced "mooks." Suddenly, that unfortunate syllable could be heard everywhere: in the news and the blogs, at tech conferences and faculty meetings, in legislative hearings and policy proposals. Now, it has been formally enshrined into the English language. Oxford University Press this week inducted "MOOC" into its Oxford Dictionaries Online. The definition: "A course of study made available over the Internet without charge to a very large number of people.""

"EFS 693B - STANFORD UNIVERSITY Advanced Listening and Vocabulary Development (...) TED Talks Introduction Below are groups of TED Talks, curated from http://www.ted.com and organized roughly by level and topic. You should do a full group (divided across several sessions if desired) and see if the integration makes them easier to understand (especially the later ones). Be sure to interact with them--don't just watch all of them straight through. However, you can do all or parts of some more intensively than others. Use your best judgment, and return to previous class notes as needed. Note that you are provided with the following information about the talk: 1. length 2. the overall speed in words-per-minute (WPM) 3. the vocabulary profile by percent of words at set frequency levels of the British National Corpus (3K, 5K, 10K, and more than 20K (off-list=OL)) 4.

Molto interessante e sopratutto utile grazie!

Grazie, Fabrizio, Ho taggato con "EFS_Stanford" - tra altri tag - questo webquest e i video ivi elencati dopo un webinar con Phil Hubbard organizzato via hangout da Vance Stevens domenica scorsa (8 ottobre). Nel webinar Hubbard ha insistito sul fatto che la forma di webquest direttivo era meglio delle forme di collaborazione sociali come tagging e condivisione, perché gli consentiva, da esperto, di dare informazioni coerenti. Allora taggare queste sue risorse TED su Diigo è anche un modo di esprimere il mio dissenso ;-) In effetti a proposito di http://www.ted.com/talks/gel_gotta_share.html , elencato in questo webquest, dice di non poter indicare le parole per minuto "perché non c'è trascrizione". Invece c'è, se si va alla pagina YT originale del video embeddato. Ora se invece di un webquest statico avesse condiviso questa risorsa con i suoi studenti in un gruppo come questo, c'è da scommettere che almeno uno di loro avrebbe rimediato all'errore in un commento - come d'altronde ho fatto in https://groups.diigo.com/group/ltis13/content/tag/EFS_Stanford%20GelConference ...
