Virtual Economics Workshop

Next workshop to be scheduled.

New Registration Policy:  Deposit required for all workshops!

This workshop will introduce you to the new version 3.0 of Virtual Economics, an interactive CD that helps you understand the most important concepts in economics and personal finance and find the right lesson for your grade level. The lessons are aligned with Minnesota academic standards. The glossary puts over 500 economics terms and definitions at your fingertips.

A teacher at St. Charles High School described this CD as "absolutely essential." " I use it almost every day. I identify an economic concept that I'm going to teach and I look up an appropriate lesson on the disk." To read more about this new tool and view a demonstration visit http://ve.ncee.net

You will receive this $100 valued Virtual Economics CD free at the workshop. You will also receive lunch and refreshments. The workshop is made possible by a grant from the National Council on Economic Education.
