Flags of All CountriesCRLF
Dec 31, 2001
I should title this link, "Education AOL Style." The link actually points to an educational site recommended by AOL@School with the tagline, "Can you find the flag from the country or countries your relatives came from?" It seems like a good way to teach about the culture of the world. But observe the page, even play around with it a bit. For one thing, the site has placed 'conditions of use' on the flag images - as though they own the copyright to the flags of the world. The large version of the flags themselves have the site's wordmark written on them. Moreover, the site - aimed at primary students, remember - is chock full of advertising urging readers to purchase flags. Is this how a media giant such as AOL views education? Should we worry?
