Community reviews for Asia Society

I have been using this website for years to move from Eurocentric thinking about world history. The many changing resources I discovered helped me develop some exceptional lesson plans. Currently the links to Japanese history and culture are resources I pass on to students. I would say, I enjoy navigating this site and giving them direct links to resources I have discovered.

Asia Society is one of the leading websites in the support of the study of Asia and has a wealth of resources for educators that can broaden their background in teaching this important content to students. The site has a variety of content links and one of the best is the social issues tab where current issues are discussed in detail. It can be hard to find student resources on the site, but one of the strongest is the China game, and the Life in New China resources. The website is more driven to educators and policymakers but resources can often be found here that are unavailable in other locations, especially current population and economic data.
