    After a lot of research, I finally stumbled on this web resource. Duke University has cataloged hundreds of resources for K-12 teachers interested in teaching about East Asia. The resources are general and country specific, meaning if you wanted to find resources specifically about China, you can click that tab which will open a plethora of links to even more resources depending on topic. What I like most about this website is how organized it is and how easy it is to find a resource you are looking for. Under each "general" tab, you will find even more folders depending on the resource type. If you are a teacher interested in teaching about China, you can find resources for general history, chinese history, special topics, language support, art, the list goes on and on. 

    Additionally, the website provides visual resources such as collections of art, musuem exhibitions, and photo archives. Depending on what resource you are looking for, a teacher can click and find more information through those links. This is a great feature for elementary school children, so they can see visual representation of the countries from past and present. Furthermore, students have access to photos of many different artificats and web galleries to learn more about the different countries, their origin stories, and their cultures. The website also provides links and resources for teaching the languages of East Asia. The links included are multimedia formats and pronunciation/speaking guides. 

    The only downside I see with this website is that it provides too many resources. If you're a teacher interested in finding something fast, or readily made, this website might not be the best for you. However, if you are building your own curriculum and need to supplement and find resources, this is a great website for that!
