Amnesty International Campaign Against Torture (The Scout Report -- March 9, 2001)
------------------------------------
"Broken bodies, shattered minds Torture and ill-treatment of women"
http://web.amnesty.org/ai.nsf/index/ACT400012001
"Stopping the Torture Trade"
http://web.amnesty.org/ai.nsf/index/ACT400022001
Amnesty International Campaign Against Torture
http://www.stoptorture.org/
These new reports from Amnesty International have been issued as part
of the organization's larger campaign against torture launched in
October. The first reports on the torture and ill-treatment of women
by agents of the state, armed groups, and family members. The report
claims that, far from taking action to prevent this violence,
governments around the world have abandoned their responsibilities
and neglected to take effective measures. The second report examines
the ballooning international trade in both traditional tools of
torture (e.g., leg irons and shackles) as well as newer electro-shock
devices and other "non-lethal" weapons. The report reveals how
torturers have been trained through the transfer of military and
security training and makes a number of recommendations to
governments and corporations on methods they can pursue to eradicate
torture. Users may download both reports by chapter or in their
entirety in .pdf format. [MD]

Creatice impulse : the artist's view of world history and western
civilisation (The Classroom Flyer Friday Edition 02/16/01)
------------------------------------
http://history.evansville.net/index.html
Don't miss this incredible resource for high school students.
It builds a history course with internet links, all based on
the premise that a civilization, its history, and its culture
cannot fully be understood without connecting to its creative
products. On that note, prepare for a well-documented journey
through time, with portals for people, places, events, art,
daily life and culture, and much, much more.
[ un site très complet, basé sur l'histoire vue du côté concret. Vous y
trouverez des ressources intéressantes pour les élèves de LP et classes
technologiques. Découvrez par exemple qu'Otis n'a pas inventé l'ascenseur,
en version audio, accompagnée d'un texte qui n'en est pas la transcription:
http://www.invent.org/book/book-text/81.html ]

Hyper History (VIRTUAL> Virtual Teacher)
------------------------------------
This is such an excellent resource - easy to navigate and with info
that is fantastic for upper primary. The information is concise with
links to primary source material provided at the end of most articles.
You can search for people, colour coded for various disciplines,
historical events and milestones, history in different countries, or
for maps during different historical periods.

[ en cliquant sur 'peopel' puis '1500-1996', vous accéderez à une timeline
des personnes célèbres qui permet de situer les uns par rapport aux autres,
et d'accéder à des biographies courtes, puis des sites plus complets sur
chacun.]

American Memory from the Library of Congress (PLANET> Education Planet Newsletter)
------------------------------------
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amhome.html
The primary aim of the National Digital Library Program
is to provide access to the various American History and
American Culture holdings at the Library of Congress
including photographs, rare manuscripts, books, maps,
sound recordings, and video recordings . Currently there
are over 90 thematic multimedia collections that can be
accessed over the internet from the American Memory website.
In addition to these collections there is a Learning Page
section with background information on each collection as
well as lesson plans, professional development information,
and educational games.

History Matters Update (The Scout Report -- March 9, 2001)
------------------------------------
http://historymatters.gmu.edu/
A joint project of the City University of New York's American Social
History Project/ Center for Media and Learning and George Mason
University's Center for History and New Media, this feature-rich site
has recently announced a major expansion (see the original review in
the September 22, 1998 _Scout Report for Social Sciences_). As
before, History Matters is an excellent resource for high school and
university history teachers, now offering hundreds of primary
documents and audio clips, an impressive annotated webliography,
sample Web-based assignments, and a useful reference section which
links to resources on standards, citing and evaluating Websites, and
understanding copyright and fair use laws. Additional sections
include guides for analyzing primary sources, annotated syllabi,
sample student projects, and teaching tips and strategies. The site
may be browsed by section or searched by keyword or advanced options.
Any instructor in US history or social studies will want to bookmark
this site. [MD]

**Civics Online (The Scout Report -- February 16)
------------------------------------
http://civics-online.org/
Designed by Lansing, Michigan area K-12 teachers and faculty at
Michigan State University, this handsome and well-organized site is a
fine resource for K-12 teachers and students. At the site, users can
search for and retrieve a variety of digitized primary sources
related to American government and democracy, such as treaties, court
decisions, inaugural addresses, maps, paintings, and photos. There
are numerous search options and each resource includes notes on the
applicable "Core Democratic Values" and Michigan Curriculum Strands.
The Teachers section also features hypermedia case studies, a
collection of useful annotated links, and information on the Michigan
Curriculum Framework. The Students section includes a glossary,
timeline, annotated links, and a "a civic adventure tracing civic
themes and using primary sources to consider the case of Elian
Gonzalez." Finally, the Parents area offers an introduction to civic
education, a guide to using the site and exploring civics with
children, and related links. [MD]
[ un site passionnant et adapté aux élèves en autonomie, à utiliser pour
des TPE histoire-géo/anglais par exemple. Ce site pourrait aussi servir de
base à un travail en ECJS, sur les lois d'immigration par exemple, en se
basant sur l'étude du cas du petit Elian et en réfléchissant aux lois
françaises en parallèle:

La pétition en faveur des Femmes Afghanes: un Hoax! (from Jean Sahai sur agreg-anglais)
------------------------------------
http://www.hoaxbuster.com/hliste/petition.html
Voyez ce site: il vous explique comment fonctionne un hoax, vous pouvez
lire des témoignages de gens qui ont subit ou (involontairement)
amplifié le phénomène, et enfin, ils vous donnent les vraies adresses à
contacter pour quand même faire quelque chose pour les femmes Afghanes!
Mettez absolument ce site dans vos favoris, et pensez à y aller à chaque
fois que vous recevez une lettre chaine ou une alerte à virus. Les journaux
et les radios ont beaucoup parlé de ce site si utile, qui va peut-être
enfin ralentir le phénomène.
