Wow! Clay, this is great! Now, how does a technologically challenged person such
as myself, get it from here to use it in my classroom if I am not supposed to link to the site? Help me.......

Hi Paulette and Everyone,

What I should have written is that I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put a link to the presentation on any webpage. If you were to do so, Google or some other search engine would "spyder" through it and then the whole site would be available to the Googling world, including lawyers who would soon be sending me thick packets via registered mail.

Feel free to view it yourself, to show it to your students, or to write the address on the board for them to copy down and view in the lab or at home. You may also wish to save it to your own hard drive so that you can use it whenever you choose. (For Windows users, the WHHT program is wonderful for copying a site to your own disk for use in classrooms not wired to the net or for you to create a cd-rom that you give students to use for research. It is a great way to limit what your students have access to while on a classroom computer. Download WHHT or other such software for free from http://www.download.com.)

There are two versions of the presentation online. The better version is the one geared towards Internet Explorer users (you can thank Microsoft for this "feature" of Powerpoint designed sites). Get to it at: http://international.ucla.edu/asia/nk/dk/dividedkorea.htm
For Netscape or Mozilla users, head to http://international.ucla.edu/asia/nk/opendk/dividedkorea1.htm.

Please let me know what you think. A couple things that I've left out are the 1960 coup, the 1979 assassination and coup, the 1980 Kwangju incident, and the conviction of presidents Chun and Roh.... It might help contextualize the emotions on the peninsula to include images of the destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Hi Folks,

I've put together a 75 slide presentation on "divided Korea." I was going to save it for the follow up weekend as an intro to the film Joint Security Area but given the current interest in North Korea, I thought you might be able to use it with some of your students. So, here it is.

Unfortunately, the photos included push the overall size beyond what the board can handle in a single file. So I've divided the presentation up into three parts. You can readily stitch them back together for your own use.

The three files are
dk1.ppt
dk2.ppt
dk3.ppt

For those of you who don't use Powerpoint but still want to look at the presentation and perhaps use it with your own students, you may do so by clicking here. Be patient -- powerpoint based websites are notoriously slow loading.

Please note -- the website above is not a public one. While some of the photos are mine or are from public domain sources (e.g., US Army), others are not. It is not a public site. Please do not link to the website. It is intended for your use and that of your students.

smiling,
clay

The transcript from our forum on the North Korean Nuclear Challenge along with propaganda posters and a crisis chronology are available at:

I think the posters are quite interesting and could be paired with bellicose statements from the US.
