This is an elegant Indian site describing archeological excavations at the site of Lothal, an ancient city on the Indus river. There are interactive maps, descriptions of life in the ancient city, and a catalog of artifacts found during the excavations. Beautiful quality, and a little slow as a result, but if you're looking for examples of how archaeologists work, it's worth the wait.

In the Classroom
Use the images in this site to create a visual discovery activity during a unit on the Indus River Valley. Select 3-5 of the more powerful images, placing them in a Powerpoint presentation to be displayed over the interactive whiteboard or projector. Allow the class to view the images for 30-45 seconds each, writing down what they observe, infer and predict about each image. After all the images have been seen, start a class discussion based on student's findings. This is a great way to review material, as it allows students to apply classroom knowledge.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Presented by the Asia Society, this site Ask Asia strives to erase racism by pointing out stereotypes used in literature (film, comic books, television shows, etc.). Find a Video Gallery , and under Education, find Education Resources such as a Cultural Exchange Through Gardens, Cultural Mandalas, and more.
In the Classroom
Use these resources as a means to teach about stereotypes and racism, and what kind of negative impacts they can have. Introduce lessons and videos on the interactive whiteboard, leading into a class discussion based on student responses to the information.. Because there are a lot of resources, it might proceed quicker if you pick out a few choice highlights as an introduction first, rather than showing the whole site. Have students create blogs sharing their learning and understanding using Telegra.ph, reviewed here. With Telegra.ph you just click on an icon to upload images from your computer, add a YouTube or Vimeo, or X (formerly Twitter) links.
