"E-learning is really about literacy, albeit a new kind-a literate understanding of the ideas of a time characterized by new cultural dynamics: globalization, 'the new economy,' and the World Wide Web. It is also about a new form of social interaction."
- Peter J. Stokes, How E-Learning Will Transform Education, Education Week
More Notable Quotes about global education and the role of the arts and technology rotate in the bottom section of each OneWorld Classrooms' informational Web site page.

As you and your students explore these cities, you will examine various elements that shape a culture: food, shelter, work, recreation, art, religion and so on. Along the way, you'll visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, the hometown of Confucius, the Silk Road and much more!

Starting in February, and throughout the spring, we will add 16 new multimedia tours focusing on Tibet and Chengdu/Sichuan Province.

Cultural Profiles connects with the Social Studies, Language Arts and Art curricula. While its written content is geared towards middle and high school grades, the photo slide shows may also be used in elementary grades.
