Another Winter Olympic Games site (WOW!)

[Pat Elliott <pat.elliott@sympatico.ca>]

> Winter Olympic Games
>
>  The Winter Olympic Games begin next month in Nagano, Japan. The
>  Official Website is one of several excellent online resources, with
> information about the host country, each participating country, their
> anthems with flags, the events, Olympic History, schedules,  and even
> pages to print out and colour. You'll also find instructions for building
> the "snowlet" mascots using the ancient paper folding techniques of
> origami.

>  1998 Winter Olympic Games:
>  http://www.nagano.olympic.org/
>
>  The "Youth Program Online", sponsored by a coalition of Canadian
>  telecom companies, has both a general and 'teacher only' area
>  in English and French. If you're a teacher who wants to feature
>  the Olympics as part of a unit in (or with a focus on) Media
>  Literacy, Japan and Japanese culture, Canadian Winters, or
>  Olympic Values (Leadership, Excellence, Respect, Peace, Human
>  Development and Fun), then this site will provide a wealth of
>  ideas.

>  Youth Program Online:
>  http://youtholympic.coa.ca/   (main web site)
>  http://youtholympic.coa.ca/teachers/ftohome.html (teachers)
>
>  Note that Britannica Online's "Winter Games" feature will be freely
>  available until March 1, and has very comprehensive information
>  about the history and current status of the Olympics.

>  Brittanica Sporting Record:

>  Finally, you might want to be prepared for the Olympics four
>  years from now, when they will be in in Salt Lake City, Utah:

>
>  Note that some sections of the above sites (especially the
>  Official site) require features found only in a fairly advanced
>  browser, but most of the other sites have plenty of information
>  that will be useful even if your situation is a bit less than
>  "high tech".
