A forum for comparative teachers

Here's a reminder about the "Teaching Comparative Politics" Facebook group. It is an opportunity to make contact with other comparative teachers, get teaching ideas, and getting answers to questions you have.

So far there are only 34 members. You can join. It's not a big process. I think there are security concerns if you open your e-mail address book to Facebook, but you don't have to do that. You don't have to share much more than your e-mail address and a screen name.

There are links to Patrick O'Neil's del.icio.us collection, to the "teaching comparative" blog, and to the AP Comparative blog from Albany High School.

Miguel Centellas, a political science professor at Dickinson College offered to share his voting simulation (comparing various ballot forms).

Paul Rousseau from Toronto is interested in doing an online glossary of comparative terminology.

I'm trying to complete a catalog of' web sites teachers use for their comparative classes.

James Lerch is interested in developing teaching plans about the roles NGOs play in various political systems.

Join us. Ask your questions, tell us what works for you, suggest resources we might find valuable.
