This web-site is really worthwhile for math students working with statistics. It helps to make that relevance connection between higher math and the "real world". Could also serve to integrate the social sciences with the math curriculum. Plus, it's fun to manipulate....works for me. Heaven knows we need to keep those young people engaged![Edit by="dkelly on Jun 28, 11:07:16 AM"][/Edit]

This is a good web-site if you are thinking about integrating East Asian art into your curriculum. There is an education section to the web-site that lists various ideas (language arts, math, etc.) that other educators have used. The workshops section does so as well. The children can even download their own personal mandala onto the web-site which is kinda cool.

This website is a good place to start when looking for funerary items from the tombs of three Chinese Dynasties, Qin, Han and Tang.

In sixth grade, so much time it given to King Tut and his tomb, but little is given to the tombs of the Chinese. So much of what we are learning about the ancient Chinese is still being excavated. This is a site that has drawn upon major museums and brought images together that represent some of the best pieces of art found.

It is a good resource for pictures.

I found the Multi-lingual web site about Confucius for students and teachers as a reference:

http://www.confucius.org

This site is presented by William Cheung (Confucius Publishing Co. Ltd). It contains the Full Text of The Lun Yu (The Analects: 499 sayings) in 23 languages and a varying amount of other Confucius related contents for each language. It is easy to access them through the Language Sub-menus column.
For the purpose of studying Chinese Philosopy, the American high school students could read English translation of The Lun Yu as a refernce. I have Korean, Chinese, Hispanic students as well as American students in my classes. They could read it in English and in their native language.

This is really cool; I always like to try to incorporate art and/or music into units.

This is another website with various materials on the Silk Road. It has several useful aspects, including a historical overview of the Silk Road. A terrific map shows the various components of the Silk Road, illustrating how it was not just a single route, but a combination of segments, some paralleling each other. The site is useful for teachers in preparing lessons or conducting research and for students as a learning tool.

The URL is http://www.silkroadproject.org/

This website, at http://www.atomicarchive.com/, is about the history of nuclear development generally. By going to the Home Page and entering "North Korea" in the search box, teachers and students interested either in the historical framework of North Korean nuclear development or in keeping up to date on the North Korean nuclear situation currently can find many articles and other web references.

A few years ago I came across a website with a virtual field trip of India, which I thought was a great concept. I have been looking to see if I could find any virtual field trips relating to East Asian countries. This is one that I came across. It has some very good pictures of artifacts in the Forbidden City along with brief explanations of each. I think some of my students will like it.

The URL is http://www.stuebegreen.com/wonderland/.

In looking for sites devoted to virtual field trips, I came across this site. It is a multi-faceted resource with well-organized information primarily devoted to Korean history but covering other facets of East Asia as well. One of its handy features is links to various East Asian news media. It is suitable for both students and teachers doing research.

The URL is http://www.koreanhistoryproject.org/index.htm.

Many of my students, last year, were athletes, so this website helped create a buy in for the mini-unit we did on CHINA.
