Room 30's Explorer Page. We are students in Room 30 at Tom Matsumoto School in San Jose, California. While we were studying explorers in social studies, our teacher, Mr. Boismier, told us we were going to make a web page! We all got together and did research and painted artwork. Each group did a different section of this project. We had a lot of fun working on this project and hope that you will find it useful. www.esd.k12.ca.us/Matsumoto/TM30/history/Explorers/exmain.html
South-Pole.com. This site is dedicated to the heroic explorers of our polar regions and the surrounding islands. The tales of these brave souls were often related in expedition mail sent home to anxious loved ones and beneficiaries. As you browse through this site, you will witness an extensive mix of reference material that will be useful to philatelists and students of polar history alike. www.south-pole.com
The European Voyages of Exploration: The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries two nations, Portugal and Spain, pioneered the European discovery of sea routes that were the first channels of interaction between all of the world's continents, thus beginning the process of globalisation in which we all live today. This tutorial introduces the student to these two pioneering nations, their motivations, their actions, and the inevitable consequences of their colonisation. This tutorial also examines the geographical, technological, economic, political, and cultural patterns of that era. www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/eurvoya/
