Besides giving students a doorway to contemporary culture in the target language, many sites offer something that used to be even harder to come by in the classroom: videos and audio clips, including podcasts, that range from real news items to fictional entertainment and
multimedia language lessons.
Tech Tales fits into the classroom agenda by allowing students to practice
language and writing skills, adopt ways to reflect on the components of a
multimedia story, and, most importantly, articulate the
lessons of their lives.
