Projector Friendly Version for EconEdLink lessons

At the bottom of every lesson on EconEdLink, you will find an icon on the left-hand side of the lesson.  This icon will take the lesson that you are using, and will create a projector-friendly view that can be used with your students. You will notice that it moves the information found around the lesson out of view. It also will enlarge the font so that the lesson can be viewed on a white board via a projector. The lesson maintains the functionality and presents it in a view that is easier for your class to view. You can close out of the projector-friendly version by selecting the RETURN icon on the top right-hand side of the lesson.Here are two views of the same lesson:

A normal student view: A Penny Saved.

A projector-friendly version student view: A Penny Saved.
