A student recently discovered www.cram.com, a great place where you can prepare flash cards and play study games. For example, there is a set of study cards for financial literacy terms. Just go down to the subject selection, put in the topic, and choose. You can create cards, as well.
Here is the Economics Wheel of Fortune for use in class.
Atomic Learning is a tutorial site where you can access hundreds of films that will guide you step-by-step through the "how-tos" of GoogleDocs, PowerPoint, Excel, or just about any Mac or PC technology you can think of. Our user name is mohawk. Our password is atomic. Don't ask me how to do a Google document... check it out here!
A wonderful site for doing citations and bibliographies is BibMe.org. This site will find your sources, cite them correctly, and write your bibliography too - in MLA, Turabian, APA... anything, really! Check it out!
www.smartscholar.com/economics-guide/ is a master-link to many very useful economics education resources.
The Economics Main Page is an excellent source for all sorts of information about economics. Check out the Supply and Demand (or Demand and supply, if you prefer) section. I will use this site a lot to create exams and quizzes.
Econoclass is a superb site for activities, games and information.
Econtalk.org is an excellent site. It's Library of Economics and Liberty contains many first-rate podcast discussions of important economic themes.
Economagic is MIRACULOUS! Need a chart, graph, or numerical table of just about any financial data you can think of? This is the place to go. It's easy to use, but know what you are looking for - there's a LOT of data here.
Check it out! The Fed Chairman Game is a lot of fun!
FRED is a comprehensive data base of economic data and information that you will find essential for your research and homework projects.
The AmosWeb Glossarama is a whimsical economics glossary of over 2000 economic terms and concepts. The Free Lunch Index is a hoot, too.
Liber 8 is an economics research portal designed specifically for high school and college students and teachers. It is sponsored by the St. Lois Federal reserve Bank. Need to write a research paper? This is a great place to go first.
Here is a primer and short video on inflation from Investopedia. It is short, succinct, and easy to underdstand.
Here is a somewhat more detailed explanation of inflation.
There is a good explanation of inflation at "How Stuff Works."
The Khan Academy provides tutorial lectures on every economics concept you can think of, and some you can't! You can access this site in three ways - register directly, access it through Facebook, or access it by using your Google account. Great stuff - check it out!
