Online resources

A number of the Access Asia resources also have a Web presence. This may be in the form of a sample of the book, card set or CD-ROM and a link to the Curriculum Corporation catalogue, or a more elaborate set of support materials including additional materials such as Links and/or Lesson Plans.

There are a number of titles, however, which were developed specifically for the Internet. These are listed below.

The China website

This site is based on a study tour to China undertaken by a group of 22 Australian teachers as part of the Asia Education Foundation's Teacher In-Country Fellowships to Asia (TICFA) Program. It contains lesson plans for Arts, English and SOSE/HSIE from lower primary to middle secondary levels, links, a bibliography and interviews, photographs and a Virtual Tour.

My Place Asia Australia

The My Place Asia Australia website is for teachers and students across the middle years of schooling. Its focus is the visual arts and includes Links, a Teachers' Guide and Art Gallery, which showcases over 100 artworks, stories and responses from students in schools across Australia, Korea, China and India. The artworks are presented in eleven themes with focus questions to guide independent student activity.

Talking Heads

Primary and secondary students are invited to a) create a visual portrait of an older person – a parent, grandparent or friend – and b) record that person's memories of key events and milestones in their life in the form of an interview. When a number of Talking Heads portraits are collected, they constitute a fascinating gallery of imagery and social history, providing wonderful opportunities for learning and discussion activities, either within classrooms or between schools both within Australia and overseas. The site includes the Templates for the activity and many examples of students' work. These activities can help students to discover other cultures and ways of seeing the world.

Secondary Arts Activities

The materials for secondary Arts students have been developed by Queensland Art Gallery Education Officers and Anne Bamford, Senior Lecturer, Visual Arts and Arts Education at the University of Technology, Sydney.

The key aims of this material are to develop a greater understanding of contemporary art, with special emphasis on art practice of the Asian region, support and enrich the material already produced by the Queensland Art Gallery for the Asian Pacific Triennial 2002 website with secondary visual art materials, and to provide materials relevant to the curriculum outcomes of secondary Arts teachers in all State and Territories.

Go Indonesia

A fully interactive animated introduction to Indonesia for primary students. Onscreen learning through exploration of 5 islands and 20 subjects of interest is provided via quiz activities, lesson plans in English, Arts and SOSE/HSIE, a photographic library, fact files and pop-up information 'bites'.
