If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

A l'exemple d'icelluy vous convient estre saiges, pour fleurer, sentir et estimer ces beaulx livres de haulte gresse , legiers au prochaz et hardiz à la rencontre; puis, par curieuse leçon et meditation frequente, rompre l'os et sugcer la sustantificque mouelle - c'est à dire ce que j'entends par ces symboles Pythagoricques - avecques espoir certain d'être faictz escors et preux à ladicte lecture; car en icelle bien aultre goust trouverez et doctrine plus absconce, laquelle vous revelera de très haultz sacremens et mysteres horrificques, tant en ce que concerne nostre religion que aussi l'estat politicq et vie oeconomicque

All'esempio del cane vi conviene esser saggi nel fiutare assaporare e giudicare questi bei libri d'alto sugo, esser leggeri nell'avvicinarli, ma arditi nell'approfondirli. Poi con attenta lettura e meditazione frequente rompere l'osso e succhiarne la sostanziosa midolla, vale a dire il contenuto di questi simboli pitagorici, con certa speranza d'esservi fatti destri e prodi alla detta lettura.

Song Lyrics: "In the Tower of London, large as life, The ghost of Ann Boleyn walks, they declare. Poor Ann Boleyn was once King Henry's wife Until he made the Headsman bob her hair! Ah yes! he did her wrong long years ago, And she comes up at night to tell him so. ... (full lyrics in description)

I've just discovered Wordle, which is a really useful site for creating word clouds. The word clouds are created by entering either a text, URL or del.icio.us username into a field. The site then generates a word cloud based on the frequency of key words in the text or webpage.

Photo Assignments for EFL ESL Students in Second Life\nOne of the things that I really like about Second Life is the rich visual imagery and the creativity that many of the builders there have put into designing their Islands. We can exploit this along with the Second Life snapshot tool to create stimulating projects for our students.

In this second part I'd like to spread the word about some of the more ELT and Educationally orientated blogs which have provided me with a wealth of information and professional development.

This is a temporary webpage for gathering information on strategies and methods for supporting the International Year of Languages (IYL). It is intended as a location to collect and display information relating to discussions leading up to, among other things, a more permanent web presence.

With the help of our speech recognition technologies, videos from YouTube's Politicians channels are automatically transcribed from speech to text and indexed. Using the gadget you can search not only the titles and descriptions of the videos, but also their spoken content. Additionally, since speech recognition tells us exactly when words are spoken in the video, you can jump right to the most relevant parts of the videos you find.

Several of you mentioned Powerpoint. I rather disliked it at first, whether the MS stuff or OpenOffice equivalent (I have a Mac and don't use MS programs on it). Too one-way for my way of teaching. So instead of making slides, I'd make html pages and would upload them in separate tabs of Firefox which I could play back and forth on as if they were piano keys.

The headmaster of a school were I was doing a workshop for the PTA exclaimed: "What! you are NOT using POWERPOINT???" when he saw me setting this up before the participants arrived. Oh well, afterwards he recognized it worked too ;-)

Yet now that platforms like slideshare.net and myPlick.com let you synchronize an audio file with a slide presentation, I'm having second thoughts about the latter: not for teaching in presence, but to prepare learning materials students can use when they want. It used to require expensive software like Adobe Breeze. Now you can do that for free.

And it would be great for exercising listening comprehension, for instance. You could have the more advanced students doing the "captioning" of an original audio document on slides they could work on together at Google Docs, and then sync them with the audio. Then less advanced students could use the captioned version at first, then listen just to the audio.

I.e. if the school filter doesn't block these Web apps - which unfortunately is all too often the case...

Otherwise, like Señora Knipp, I love Audacity - also because the "labels" of Audacity are great to transcribe a too fast or muddled audio recording, because you can tweak the audio to make it clearer AND write what it says in the same window.
