| EcEdWeb, the
Economic Education Website, |
This is an educational website providing support for economic education
and teaching in all forms at all levels. The opening page has choices
for all levels of education, ranging from kindergarten through college.
The K- 12 link offers teaching materials and online lessons as well as
an index to helpful and useful websites |
| International
Economics |
http://www.economicsintl.org/ |
| EconomicsAmerica
Online |
Sponsored by the National Council on Economic Education, this website
features a nationwide, comprehensive program for economic education in
America’s schools. Lists of teacher resources are provided, Econ-nections
provides online lessons for the classroom, a lesson of the month is highlighted,
and five interactive modules help teens understand the basics of personal
finance. |
| The Short Run |
The opening statement on this web page concludes with "…because in
the long run, everyone’s dead." I thought that was pretty catchy.
This is a great site for educators. It listed for reading, Chairman
Greenspan’s latest speech at the Annual Monetary Policy conference.
It had links to data, charts, and classroom ideas that were very good.
The classroom link is valuable to students in economics classes.
It had a newsletter to which you can subscribe. It also had stock
quotes
and an excellent glossary of Ideas, Terms, and Concepts used in Economics. |

This web site contains many useful categories for teachers, counselors,
parents and students. Some include "Investor", "Banking and Bills",
"Retirement and Wills", "Taxes", "Insurance", "Saving and Spending", "Family
and College", and "Mortgage and Loans". The "Family and College"
link is especially useful for high school counselors to use in working
with students and parents. This site led to several other useful
sub sites including a "Step-by-Step Guide for Family Life and College Decisions",
"College Search", and "Scholarship Search". Many valuable web sites
for students and parents were suggested for further investigating.
I particularly liked the NCAA site for prospective athletes. Counselors,
students, and teachers, and parents can find a wealth of information on
this site. |

Divides the site into 7 areas of protection for home, self, car, credit

Likes:
a. It's kept simple/basic for the average
teacher and their students to understand with lessons that can be used
for a lifetime.
b. It does a nice job comparing/contrasting
different options available to the teacher listing both Do's and Don'ts
of good consumerism. |

| Information Please |
This web site offers a tremendous amount of information useful in college
and career counseling. Many sub sites are available to analyze the
job market and compare it to job markets of the past. Some of the
sub sites that I particularly found to be helpful were "Median Annual Income
by Level of Education", "Average Earnings by Educational Attainment, Sex,
and Race", and "Average Monthly Earnings by Field of Degree." Students
and counselors can also use this site for college searches. One especially
interesting and helpful site was "Top 50 Colleges for Black Students."
I found this web site to be very useful. |

This web site covers a variety of informative topics from study and
homework skills to ACT and SAT study programs. Information is provided
on loans, scholarships, and military aid. Parents, counselors, and
students can explore colleges and universities, graduate programs, and
study abroad programs. The "study skills" and "homework skills" were
very useful, but I felt that the college search program was a little more
difficult to use than other available programs. |

website also contains different games including crosswords, wordfinds,
etc. which would be of interest to the students. I found it very
cumbersome to maneuver to the worksheet page, so I am including the address
for that particular page: |
| Teachers Helping Teachers |
This site is updated weekly with current lesson plans, themes, and
book reviews. Two good sites are the lesson plans and my favorite
the stress reduction. The lesson plans provide current teaching methodologies
for all teachers. The stress reduction site provides a weekly stress
reduction moment to lighten things up. |
| Subject
Area Resources |
This site provides resources for almost any subject area you can think
of. Each subject then link to a lesson plans library and related
resources. The lesson plan library contains a collection of lesson
plans for use in the classroom. The related resources provides other
curriculum related information. |
| Creative

free copies of books such as " Helping your students with homework, a guide

This is a site for fresh activities for fall and winter. Are
your students tired of making turkeys from their handprints and snowflakes
from doilies? Then learn how to make ice-cube paintings, and other
crafts or perk up your seasonal parties with poems, songs, and rhymes.
Check out the seasonal resource section for Web sites and seasonal books
you can read to your class. |
| Busy Teachers Website
K-12 |
This site is full of lesson plans, classroom activities, resources,
thematic units, etc. The teachers reference section is extremely
helpful. You can communicate with other educators and students can
even communicate with other students. This site is very helpful for
when you need to find something at the last minute. |

This site has very interesting activities for teaching many of the
