Students will be able to acquire information and perspectives that are available only through the foreign language and with the target culture. Students will use the language within and beyond the school setting. Procedure Have students write questions that they would like to ask someone who speaks a foreign language. Then, use an Instant Messanger program such as iChat, to set up a video chat between students and one or more other people outside of school. If you're using iChat, use the program GarageBand to record the chat sessions. GarageBand will create a track for each person in the chat session. It will also take snapshots of the participants throughout the chat session. Save the chat in GarageBand and then it can be saved in iTunes where it can be made into a podcast. The chat can also be sent to iWeb which is a web design application included in iLife '06.
