Hello Joe,
 
I teach Tech at the middle school level.  I have my students use this Net 
as an introduction to telecommunications and information gathering.  Our 
computer department sees no value in this (incredible) so I teach it.  
Generally, I require my students to make three contacts on the Middle 
School Chat area, one in the state, one in the US, and one outside the 
US.  I then have them find out some other information such as geography, 
weather, industry etc. 
 
The kids really like the assignment and end up standing in line on their 
own time to use the computer to keep up relationships with new pen pals.
 
Just thought I would add my two cents worth.
