Hi,

While working on my webpage for the class, I've found a webpage about Primary Documents from East Asia.
Here is the link http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/eastasia/eastasiasbook.html
Its called the "Internet East Asian History Sourcebook." Its very detailed. It covers each region -though most materials are on China. It still covers all of East Asia pretty well. It goes over the major topics. I was especially impressed with all the Chinese philosophy links available
If you are looking for documents on Asia, I strongly recommend looking at this site first.

Beyond Culture: Communicating with Asian American Children and Families. ERIC/CUE Digest Number 94. http://www.ericdigests.org/1994/culture.html
This web based article spoke about some of the hidden cultural norms that are not known to people outside of Asian American families. There are certain norms not understood by Western educators especially in the areas of time and communication. Many Asians have ways of gauging time that differs from our Western way of linear scheduling. Asians also rely more heavily on non-verbal communication instead of implicit conversation in order to convey a point. The article suggests that by understanding these different norms, we as educators will be more effective when dealing with our parents.

This link was good because it has a huge list of links to a myriad of sites about Asian Americans. I looked at quite a few and found them interesting. I think this would be a link to have because it had a menagerie of different sites. I like the one about the Hapa Project. I wanted to see it when I went to the Japanese American Museum in LA, but we ran short on time. One of the worries of some of the Asian Americans is that biracial coupling is essentially breeding the Asian out of many families. There are mixed sentiments on both sides about this practice. The idea that Hapa is okay is important, because many of our students are of mixed Asian ancestry.

I am very impressed. Its very detailed. The photographs really enhance the presentation of the art projects.

Also, I found it easy to navigate which is important.

I'm close to being done with my webpage but its not nearly as professional as yours.

This website is a great resource for ideas and links to Asian art.

It is actually the San Francisco Asian Art museum’s online page. I was just up there and I didn’t get a chance to visit the museum in person so this is a great website I can use to go back and spend time browsing without the drive.

I read that the museum has been developing lately and has really built up its collection. So there is a lot of info at the site.

There is a page for educators and educational resources.

There are some pictures but for the most part info reigns rather than online exhibits.
