II. Electronic Mail Exercises: For jump-starting discussions, and extra-curricular chats, the German Internet-Cafe, other chatrooms, or e-mail partnerships and message groups or class listservs for internal mailings extend the classroom walls. The AATG listserv, FL Teach Listserv and its Web Bulletin Board provide ideas for using these media. Instructions: Students read course materials and post their comments electronically via e-mail, listserv, or message board. Submission deadlines apply.
III. Immersion Exercises: German courses on the web, literary journals, e-zines, media sites, and museums often provide excellent cyber study materials which offer multimedia immersions into literary, cultural, and historical topics. [German Museum links] Here are selected links to these sites and exhibits.
