About
URL’s today
The enormous data base on the web has exploded
in recent years to swel the information
highway. For the Big Update 2004 of our
Encyclopedia Visual Geography the bulk of
research is done by Bruce Tamagno - former
Vice President of the Geography Teachers
Association and Key Manager of the Australian
State of Victoria. It is likely that only
a few of us

know
more about statistical surveys and
research as recently published on
economic and demographic trends, environment,
climate change debate and so on. The
OECD-files, The World Bank, CIA Country
Factbook, Unesco, EU Commission, governmental
and non-governmental sources on air,
development, refugees, food - you
name it and you will hit sources in
Nebraska, France or Kolkota. These
are often large and include convincing
graphics, many with different figures
and contradictory messages, often
down-loadable as pdf’s.
Overviewing
all, more than once the only way out
of deciding what to present required
common sense. After discussion, this
mass of knowledge is distilled to
visual information or supporting text,
which students can comprehend - the
essence of teaching |
