Curriculum content descriptions
the ways changing transportation and technologies are used to connect people to services, information and people in other places (AC9HG9K05)
Elaborations
- discussing how access to transportation affects the ways people perceive, use and are connected to specific services or opportunities in a place; for example, regional flights to travel to capital cities and to international destinations
- identifying and describing how transport and information networks function to connect people to goods and services (for example, from cotton crop to t-shirts or from farm to table), including how supply-chain logistics influence these connections
- discussing how communications infrastructure and networks support people to collaborate; for example, local people working for social sustainability and inclusion such as the Masai in Kenya, Berber in North Africa, San or Kalahari Bushmen in southern Africa, Uyghurs in China, Ainu in Japan, Inuit in Greenland and Yanomami in the Amazon Basin
- interpreting differences in people’s access to the internet between and within countries, such as in rural areas across Australia and across the world, including a country of Asia, and explaining how technologies are used to connect people to information, services and other people
- examining how technologies have made it possible for places to provide a range of global business services, such as businesses operating call centres in India and the Philippines
