My Quest: To find three sites that can be resourced with the populations I develop curriculum and programs for in mind - namely out-of-school adults in non-traditional learning environments such as public libraries and community centers.

The sites I've chosen are:
I. Frontline World educator's resource site: Frontline World is a national public TV series that turns its lens on the global community, covering countries and cultures rarely seen on American television.

II. EDSITEment: The Best of the Humanities on the Web from the National Endowment for the Humanities in partnership with the National Trust for the Humanities, and the Verizon Foundation's Thinkfinity.org. This educational partnership brings online humanities resources from some of the world's great museums, libraries, cultural institutions, and universities directly to your classroom.

III.

The Choices for the 21st Century Education Program is a national education initiative based at Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies.

Choices mission statement: All Choices programs engage students in exploration of complex international issues—both past and present—from multiple perspectives. Our resources and programs bring ground breaking research on critical turning points in history and pressing issues of today to secondary classrooms. In order to ensure high quality, balanced, and accurate materials and programs, Choices draws on the content expertise of scholars at the Watson Institute, Brown University, and a range of other universities and research institutions.
