- Economics education
- What prior econ ed experiences have you had? What stuck?
- Some concept development, including looking at standards and trying to spot 'hidden orthodoxies'
- Microteaching demo: Lesson adapted from Play-Doh economics. (I'll be using some Google Slides for this...nothing fancy, definitely not a model to emulate, necessarily.) You can get the first edition online for free; the second edition you have to buy (Amazon).
- And now for some other econ ed resources that are worth hanging onto
- Make things visual
- VisualizingEconomics.com – for example, http://visualizingeconomics.com/blog/2010/03/15/federal-tax-rates-by-income-for-single-filers-2009
- Of course, gapminder.org – brings together econ + history + geography, with lots of civic questions embedded
- Make things enactive (like Play-Doh economics, of course!)
- ThinkEconomics here -- it's worth playing with & exploring. Bookmark it for later.
- And the creators of Play-Doh economics have another book, Trading Around the World – first edition is similarly free; second edition will cost you.
- And here's a pretty comprehensive, can't-go-wrong resource: the 'Morton' books for teaching AP Econ--it's also available in a CEE publication via Google Books: "A Market in Wheat" lesson, entire book.
- Make things visual
- Discussion of field work, thus far; how shall we structure this into a paper?
