  I kveldingi set eg stigen burt og hengjer&lt;br&gt;
  laupen frå meg i skuret. Skrinne bredar&lt;br&gt;
  har alt ei tunn breidsle av nysnø.&lt;br&gt;
  Etter eg er lagd, høyrer eg dunk av brislingfiskarane,&lt;br&gt;
  dei gjeng ut. All natti veit eg dei glid&lt;br&gt;
  med sterke ljoskastarar og leitar yver fjorden.

Meagre glaciers&lt;br&gt;already have a thin covering of new snow.&lt;br&gt;Lying in bed, I head the throb of the brisling fishers&lt;br&gt;on their way out.&amp;nbsp; All night, I know, they'll glide&lt;br&gt;with staring searchlights up and down the fjord.&lt;/p&gt;

Information about the poet Olav H. Hauge posted on YouTube by Det norske samlaget, October 14, 2008&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Olav H. Hauge (1908 -1994), vår fremste norske lyrikar i etterkrigstida, var
både klassisist og modernist. Vi feirar no at det er 100 år sidan hans
fødselsdag. Han debuterte som forfattar i 1946.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gartnaren frå
Ulvik kalla seg gjerne sjølv ein vanleg arbeidsmann. I norsk bokheim
vart han ein uvanleg arbeidar, ruvande som arvtakar og som nydyrkar.
Frå heimen på Rossvoll skaffa han seg vidt utsyn og store kunnskapar.
Han gav ut fleire samlingar med gjendiktingar av engelsk, fransk og
tysk lyrikk. Hans eigne dikt har også nådd langt ut i verda, og
gjendiktingane er komne på eit kvart hundre språk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Olav H. Hauge
var både klassisist og modernist; han kjende og brukte mange
strofeformer og poetiske verkemiddel. Nettopp den veldige spennvidda
mellom korthogne strofer og formfullenda sonettar har hatt ein
eineståande appell på tvers av generasjonane. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I just discovered that Aftenposten has created <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/AftenpostenTV">a channel on YouTube</a> for its videos. This should make it much easier to view the videos since they often don't play smoothly on Aftenposten's website.  Furthermore, if the videos are uploaded to YouTube, it is easier to search for them and to embed them in blogs and other websites. Above is a current video about digitizing the movements in a traditional Norwegian halling dance for use in a video game.

masse vaffelrøre så vi kan spise vafler til kaffen hver dag i ferien.</p><p style="text-align: center;">******************************************************************************</p><p>Etter ferien skal vi begynne norsktimene med en kort diskusjon om takksigelsesdag.  Her er noen av spørsmålene vi skal ta opp:</p><ul>
<li>Hvor reiste du i ferien?</li>
<li>Hvem feiret du takksigelsesdag sammen med?</li>
<li>Hva spiste du til middag på takksigelsesdag?  Hva spiste du til dessert?  Hva likte du best?</li>
<li>Hva ellers gjorde du i ferien?</li>
<li>Hva er du takknemlig for?</li>

Today I'm giving a presentation to the language faculty at St. Olaf about the use of the <a href="http://www.quizlet.com">online Quizlet flashcards</a>.  Above is the Google Docs presentation that I'm going to use during my talk.  We found Quizlet last summer and have created approx. <a href="http://quizlet.com/group/16618/">80 flashcard sets for Beginning Norwegian I (Sett i gang I)</a> and <a href="http://quizlet.com/group/18595/">40 sets for Intermediate Norwegian I (Stein på stein I)</a>. In general, we emphasize more global skills and learning the language in larger segments in our courses, but there is a place for focusing on the details as well.  We have found that Quizlet makes the mundane parts of language learning more fun as well as more efficient. </p><p>Users do not have to register to use the Quizlet flashcards that are already online.  However, if they complete <a href="http://quizlet.com/sign_up/">the free registration</a>, then they can create their own sets, form groups and join other groups, customize the special characters, and keep track of their studying progress.</p></div>

At St. Olaf this year, we have been using Google Docs to create shared documents for planning  departmental events, for documenting student attendance at homework help sessions, and for making lesson plans.  Once a document is created, it can be shared with any number of people, who can then either just view it or participate in the editing. It's an effective way to work collaboratively, and it also creates a record that everyone can view in future years.  I wish we had been able to create documents in such a way when we were working on our textbook project.  It was inconvenient to send Word documents back and forth to one another and to keep track of the multiple versions of each document on our computers. <br /><br />In addition to documents, it is also possible to create spreadsheets and presentations with Google Docs.  I haven't tried to create a spreadsheet yet, but at the CILA tech poster session last week, one of the faculty members demonstrated how spreadsheets could be used for scheduling appointments with students.  The faculty person makes the schedule in a Google spreadsheet, and then shares it with a group of students who can access the document and sign up for a time.  If a student misses a meeting or has to reschedule, it's easy to go online and update the spreadsheet.<br /><br />Today I decided to make a presentation in Google Docs so that I could easily share it with the 15-20 other teachers who are using our introductory Norwegian textbook <em>Sett i gang</em>.  We already have a password-protected place on our website where we have made extra materials, such as presentations, tests, and grammatical exercises available for teachers to download.  However, sometimes we make new materials during the course of the semester as needed.  Right now, we are working on common activities in daily routines with a grammatical focus on verb tenses and varied word order.  On Friday, we had used a Powerpoint with photos of a Norwegian student as she goes through a typical day.  For Monday, I want to review the vocabulary and continue to work on word order and verb tenses, so I made a presentation in Powerpoint using drawings that a student had made for a presentation about 5 years ago.<br /><br />Since I had already made this presentation in Powerpoint, all I had to do was to upload and import the file to Google Docs, make a few last changes to the content, and save the file.  With just the click of a button, I was able to publish the document to the web and copy the code so I could paste it into this blog entry.  Couldn't be easier or more convenient.  I could also share the document with the other teachers so that they could view it or add to it</p></div>
