It occurred to me that I referenced AskAsia.org (http://www.askasia.org) in my last post without saying anything about it. This website, which I'm sure has been mentioned on this forum before, is maintained by the Asia Society, "an international organization dedicated to strengthening relationships and deepening understanding among the peoples of Asia and the United States." Sounds familiar, eh? In this case, however, the Asia-inspired billionaire is John D. Rockefeller III.

It not only has a great "interactive atlas" co-authored by the National Geographic Society for students, but also lesson plans, maps, images, and discussion boards for teachers. It's definitely a great one-stop shop for Asia-related information.

My only criticism is that with so much information, it's difficult to find what you're looking for without becoming hopelessly distracted. If I can't concentrate, imagine how a 12-year-old all hepped up on Hot Cheetos is going to fare.
