Summary This article presents a case study of a pilot program implemented with San Franciscan and Taiwanese fourth graders. The project utilized videoconferencing technology to create a collaborative cultural exchange in which students from both cities saw an art exhibit, The Splendors of Imperial China, and participated in a dialogue addressing the content of the exhibit, as well as their own cultural backgrounds. The program proved to be a great success based on the students' improved ability, increased knowledge, and changed attitudes toward technology in learning. Videoconferencing has been shown to have great success in classroom collaborations such as this one in educational institutions around the world.
