This week I discovered a useful
wiki for teachers in the areas of LOTE,Global Education,Human Rights, Studies of Asia and Intercultural Understanding.It is produced by The Language and Multicultural Resource Centre (LMERC) which is based in Carlton,Melbourne.There are lots of resources such as annotated lists of fiction and non fiction titles about Asia as well as links to great teaching resources such as the
World Refugee Week Teachers Pack 2011.
This is a downloadable resource hot off the press that helps secondary students to understand refugees in Australia.It piggybacks off this week's SBS screening of "
Go Back To Where You Come From".It contains fantastic classroom activities such as
Aslyum: exit Australia. This is a simulation game that puts students into the shoes of an asylum seeker and exposes them to the difficult situations and decisions that are faced by people fleeing their home country. I also liked the opportunity for students to be able to repond to various issues online.
