This project from the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University offers students and teachers a closer look at constructions of childhood and youth throughout world history. Completed in 2010, the collected materials are sorted into four categories: Website Reviews, Primary Sources, Case Studies, and Teaching Modules. Each section is then organized by region, ranging from Africa to Latin America to the Pacific Basin. For instance, within Primary Sources, readers will find data tables on Meiji Era School Attendance, primary source text from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, and photographs of sculptures, such as the small terra-cotta statue, Ancient Greek Adolescent Girls at Play. Each resource is accompanied by an informative annotation, source information, and guidelines for how to cite it. While some of the external links have not been maintained, there are numerous resources here to inspire learning. Educators, especially, will find the Teaching Modules section helpful as it provides lesson plans, strategies, and document-based questions on a number of topics, including Ancient China, Age of Consent Laws, and Health in Early Modern England.

TeachUNICEF offers educational materials and resources to teachers and youth service professionals interested in global education, interconnectedness, and children's humanitarian issues. Teaching Materials cover grades PK-12, are interdisciplinary, and include lesson plans, stories, online magazines, and multimedia.

The site makes finding resources easy with a Select a Topic drop down menu on the landing page, covering areas such as Armed Conflict, Child Labor, Child Trafficking, Children with Disabilities, Education, Global Citizenship, and many others. For educators looking to broaden students' minds to global issues, this site will be a true boon.
