Resources for Economics
The Council for Economic Education’s EconEdLink website, has lessons that fit well in civics, history, government or business classes. Most lessons have a PowerPoint with visual attached next to the lesson, are user friendly, and provide all resources necessary. Lessons on elections, budgets, deficits and healthcare are available.
Planet Money is a great resource to explain the economics behind current events.
Blog and podcasts can be downloaded on the iPhone through an app
I often find things I want to share so I will post these on the Bessie B. Moore Center for Economic Education Facebook.
