Global resources

Finding useful resources for facilitating critical literacies work is normally no problem - the stuff of everyday life provides plenty of material ripe for deconstruction. However, there are also valuable collections of materials on the web, and these pages would be an appropriate place to provide links to these materials for each other. The resources available on this site, International Networks Archive, which is tracing the impact of globalisation, includes downloadable files with statistics on issues such as capital flows, arms, migration and so on. This site is also useful for work on critical global issues, as it pulls together 100 key words and images that attempt to capture a single moment in time in world news. The words and images change on an hourly basis. It would be useful for pupils to compile their own bank of images and words that capture current global issues - how would these compare across the classrooms in this project?
