Hyeonseo Lee: My escape from North Korea | Video on TED.com - 0 views

  • As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee thought her country was “the best on the planet.” It wasn't until the famine of the 90s that she began to wonder. She escaped the country at 14, to begin a life in hiding, as a refugee in China. Hers is a harrowing, personal tale of survival and hope -- and a powerful reminder of those who face constant danger, even when the border is far behind.

    This is another powerful resource from TED that helps students of geography understand how and why some governments in the world, such as North Korea, are more authoritative than others. Why did Hyeonsea escape North Korea? How was she able to get her family out of North Korea?

  • It's 2013, yet 2.5 billion people in the world have no access to a basic sanitary toilet. And when there's no loo, where do you poo? In the street, probably near your water and food sources -- causing untold death and disease from contamination. Get ready for a blunt, funny, powerful talk from journalist Rose George about a once-unmentionable problem.

    Please do not be offended or disgusted by the title of this TED talks video. This presentation unpacks a major world issue of sanitation and associated diseases. What impact does poor sanitation have on the world?

  • Geo-literacy is the term that National Geographic has adopted to describe the understanding of how our world works that all members of modern society require. Geo-literacy is the ability to reason about Earth systems and interconnections to make far-reaching decisions. Whether we are making decisions about where to live or what precautions to take for natural hazards, we all make decisions that require geo-literacy throughout our lives.

      To what extent have geographic tools such as the common GPS systems that are typically installed in our cars, improved our geo-literacy?

    National Geographic is the leader in geo-literacy. I find this website valuable because it contains a collection of useful resources for AP Human Geography. Take a look at each topic heading and check out the provided resources. Which resource in each topic did you find to be the most valuable as a geography student?
