The power of maps to make sense of the world - or just question why!

 

The map above shows where Twitter (aka X) is blocked or restricted. 

As well as providing information and alerts about the work of HaSS Association Australia (HAA) this blog has also been designed to provide regular updates on HaSS in general and provide resources and links to resources useful to teach HaSS. 

With the discussion on the role of social media in our society, I thought this map showing where Twitter (X) is blocked is a great starting point to discuss freedom of information and the role of governments in the HaSS classroom.

Posts such as this one will be brief and provide just one or two examples of resources. A great site to get such maps is Brilliant map at https://brilliantmaps.com/ There are maps of everything on this site, some you really scratch your head about why they have made them, i.e. the one below on preferred sauce on chips in the UK is such an example of a crazy map! I am sure the creative HaSS teacher can find a purpose for such a map - even if just to say "it is just interesting and why is there such a range of sauce use across space?"
