Economic education website provides a plethora of resources, but teachers will have to pick and choose.

How I Use It

I implement various lesson plans in my history class throughout the course of the year to supplement certain related units. For instance, in our first unit, students learn about trade companies during the colonization of Louisiana, so we spend two days learning about the stock market because of the parallels between such companies and the modern day stock market. It is nice to provide such present-day connections to state history and to integrate economic education for my students, which they are not exposed to otherwise, but sometimes the video episodes aren't ideal when used in isolation. It seems that the videos work better as a continuum because the stories and characters build throughout the episodes.
