These tutorials are explaining the functions of Gapminder World, rather than giving a tutorial on how to teach with it. However, the pdf tutorial can be very useful to print and keep next to you while you explore the moving graphs. You can of course also view the videos as a kind of tutorial, both on how to use Gapminder materials and on the subject matter. We plan to add more material to help teachers use Gapminder. Stay tuned. /Klara Dear Mike and Rosita,

The goal of the course is for participants to gain the knowledge and practical computer know-how needed to teach about world health, the environment, development, and other questions, with help of animated statistics and other material from Gapminder. The course will be held on 15 and 16 June at Karolinska Institutet in Solna, a suburb just North of Stockholm. The price per student is 2800 SEK, plus 25% sales tax. Including tax, it’s approximately 432 USD per student. For those who would like basic information about the course but do not understand Swedish, I’ve written a quick translation:
