I spent 20 minutes last night listening to a fascinating presentation on new ways of looking at the separation that exists between countries in the world, and how the gap between countries has narrowed over the past couple of generations.
I hope you have some time to watch the video, the presenter, Hans Rosling, provides an inspiring use of statistics! In general, his point is that the way we look at the world (our mindsets) are often based on old information and that the modern way the world is (represented by his datasets) is significantly different.
For teachers of Social Studies, or History, or even Mathematics, this video could potentially be quite useful!
If you would rather watch the video full screen from its original location at TED, click here.
I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers
