We’ve had quite an increase this year in programs available for foreign languages. Here’s what’s available:
Spanish
- The Cleveland Museum of Art, one of our favorite providers, will present a couple of their programs in Spanish if requested.
- The Indianapolis Museum of Art offers an excellent interactive program called the Speak to Learn Game Show. It’s available in Spanish, French, German or ESL! I love this program. Kids speak in the language about the art they are viewing and get points & medals for their work in the game show. Very fun. Students often say afterwards, “We should talk in the language more!”
- Global Education Motivators has a program, Recognizing the Rights of People with Disabilities that can be presented in Spanish. The presenter is a gymnast from Columbia who suffered an injury to her spinal cord while performing on the vault. This sounds like a powerful program for English or Spanish!
- The Indianapolis Zoo has a new program on Animales en Español. It says K-8 but would probably be good for a 1st year Spanish class as well.
- Camden Children’s Garden is offering all of their programs in Spanish this year (as well as English).
- The Videoconference Organization Seminary in Spain offers several programs. A little on the pricey side, but they are a connection to Spain!
- To my local teachers: In addition, I have a couple contacts in Latin America that we could set you up with a class to class conversation if you wish. You could also connect to another local Spanish class and talk to them en Español if you wish. A couple neat projects ideas are: Epals Hablar and Simon Dice.
French
- The Indianapolis Museum of Art offers an excellent interactive program called the Speak to Learn Game Show as mentioned above.
- The Cleveland Museum of Art, one of our favorite providers, will present a couple of their programs in French if requested.
German

Italian
- The Cleveland Museum of Art added a new program, Italian Art, that can be presented in Italian if you wish.
To my local teachers, email me or visit www.remc11.k12.mi.us/dl to schedule any of these videoconferences.
Great post! I bet you put a lot of research into it.
