Hi all
Great to meet you all today. I look forward to our continuing conversations about HaSS and the teaching of HaSS. Just a change to that planner I gave you today. The link to the migration stories has changed - sorry for those who have been trying to find the site tonight. The link to the migration stories on the National Museum site that I asked you to read and bring one along to talk about is http://waves.anmm.gov.au/Immigration-Stories/Stories-from-our-collection.aspx
Some sites to support the migration discussion in Session 2
Have a good look at these sites and I am sure you will be informed and even surprised by what they tell you about migration and population around the world. Most importantly get acquainted with the sites and then think about how you would use them with students - another source of discussion for us on Thursday.
* Migration flows
This interactive migration map allows you to see for every country in the world either the top ten providing countries of lifetime migrants or the top ten receiving countries of lifetime migrants. On top of that, when you let your mouse hover over a country, you can see the total population, the GDP per capita, the HIV and Tuberculosis prevalence and the death rate of children under five.
Population pyramids
This interactive site enables you to see the age-sex pyramids for every country in the world. A great resource for comparison across the globe and awareness of diversity in age-sex structures between countries. The pyramids raise many question as to why they are the shape they are. The pyramids also go back in time and project forward - fascinating.
* World population clock
* The Poodwaddle clock
