Presenter: Carol Bliese

Population Education (https://populationeducation.org/)  is a program with a strong emphasis on curriculum resources and professional development for K-12 educators that focuses on human population issues. They offer curriculum resources and lesson plans connected with population.

This workshop covered several examples of the resources they make availble. It started off presenting a video of the history of population growth in the world presented in a compelling and graphical manner. http://worldpopulationhistory.org/map/1/mercator/1/0/25/#

That was the launching point for a number of interactive example lessons including; population riddles, Panther Hunt, and Who Polluted the River.

Another student mention an app named Urban World which is also interesting for investigating population in the world but it is only available on IOS devices.
