Multiculturalism Made Easier
Most of us try to open our students' eyes to world issues and different cultures. In fact, if you're part of an IB school, multiculturalism is The Prime Directive. It can take a lot of digging, however, to find non-Western texts.
For film, at least, FilmStory.org makes it a little bit easier to find films from other countries. Their database is far from exhaustive, and I do question some of the choices (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid would teach what about American history, for example?), but overall, I like it.
