Ahh . . . the delights of the internet! I am teaching a world history class this summer (2 more days
) to tenth graders. I must say that the print resources provided to me through the seminar were very helpful to my understanding and dissemination of the Chinese, Japanese and Korean histories in the modern world. Although we did not retain a very large segment of time during the class to engage in modern topics, we were given beautiful books and article to hep us along. One of the resources, the Education About Asia periodicalEducation About Asia has such a deep potential for contributing to the profession. Their website is a wonderful resource to any educator at any age level. How? Well, the website has a great set of links. If you go to theRESOURCE LINKS and click the button, you will finds a mashup of most of the pertinent websites devoted to helping educators teach about Asia. There are some fabulous links for the lower grades, but the middle and upper grade resources abound. It seems like this webpage can give us all information we can use. Also, it serves as a starting point for our own various interests. This site could also be used as a destination to create webquests for students, if wanted.
Another great aspect of tis site is the sheer amount of information linked to th epage in Asian languages. One of my favorite things is that the links offer the information not just in the unifying languages of east Asia, but the languages of south Asia and west Asia as well.
Happy surfing.
